Of all the books that I have recently read, this has got to be the most troubling and disturbing book to read. I truly believe the title should be " We Have Been Silenced, Why?" Allow me to start with a broadside comment - If you attend the 1st Church of Comfy People, do not read this book. If you shake your head and say to your friends, " I don't understand why we are where we are now in the US", or What else can happen? If you would like to become informed to any of those questions or current events happening specifically in the US, YOU NEED TO INVEST IN THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY. In my opinion, the most chilling quote in the entire book is found on page 223, attributed to Sam Solomon, responding to a question from Erwin -" what is my responsibility as the pastor of my church" relating to radical Islam. Mr. Solomon's response "Your responsibility is to teach your people to be ready to die as martyrs for the faith". Not exactly a closing warm fuzzy eh? If we fail to inform our selves and fail to hear, see, or even acknowledge to existence of the battle we are facing, it is very sad. I believe pastors are shying away from leading and teaching a Biblical Worldview to their congregations, on the current point of cultural chaos, due to many of the reasons outlined by Erwin in this book. May I suggest as a warm up, to read, " The Church In Babylon" by Erwin also.

This book should be read by every Christian in America just as Pastor Jeremiah proclaims on the cover. Pastor Lutzer does a masterful job of covering every topic in our culture today and how we should be responding to these changes biblically. Please read this book and order extras to give to relatives and friends.

This book helps readers understand how the United States has turned from our founder's values and intent to where some of those in positions of power would lead us.

Lutzer has created the manual for Christians to use to understand what is happening to the world and why.

His overview of the history of secular humanism and how it has crept into our lives for decades is worth the price.

His call to action for Christ-followers and instructions on how to love one another, even those who hate us, is priceless.

A must read

GREAT BOOK! Dr. Lutzer has great insight to our world and what is happening in it. This is a must read for every Christian.
