My American Heritage: Our Nation Under Attack from Within

FALTERING AND REVIVAL IN AMERICA. I was a wanderer, but the Hound of Heaven never lost my scent. We all have desires for something we don’t have, something that satisfies. There are so many choices we must make, especially when young, and our culture trivializes these when consequences can be enormous. Little do we realize our decisions can affect us for the rest of our lives and our family for generations.. I’ve always been fascinated by ethereal things. They often cannot be easily understood. Unseen forces are always around, some as ubiquitous as gravity. We can’t see it, but we are within its power constantly. Wind! Where does it come from and where is it going? We can’t see it, but we see the effects of it. Spiritual powers – always around but unseen. Yet we suffer the effects of them, good and bad, blessings and curses, joy and pain.. Raised in a typical American family, regularly attended church, educated in public schools, challenged by college in the turbulent 60s with not much confidence in my being there. I was on shaky ground, even beyond college.. Even now, our country is twisted upside down, inside out. I see we are in a war, not an all-out physical war, but one of deceit, anger, chaos, shame and blame. Our nation and our people do not have the peace and unity we had just a few decades ago. How do we meet these challenges?. I found a way. This book depicts a journey from childhood to maturity in our country’s North and South, a personal discovery of cultural tensions deepened by family ties, research, and exploration.It is a tale of hopes and dreams, uncertain heights, surprise wrecks, life and death, heart-wrenching stresses, amazing discoveries, popular and unpopular values, all mixed with grace and mercy.Read about revival in my own life, marriage, and family, and discover how this applies as well to our institutions, our country and beyond.Alexis de Toqueville wrote, “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”.
