In this explosive book, Francis Schaeffer shows how law, government, education, and media have all contributed to a shift from our country's Judeo-Christian foundation. He calls for a massive movement--in government, law, and all of life--to reestablish the Judeo-Christian foundation and turn the tide of moral decadence and loss of freedom.

"I use this book as one of the texts for my Government class. A true modern classic. The exposure of the disengagement of the Christian mind (now almost thirty years) certainly was (is) prophetic. "

" Schaeffer's most audacious and brilliant piece. "
— Atchisson, 2/16/2014" When I bought it I just could not get into it. I put it on the shelf figuring I'd eventually get around to reading it. That was 25 year ago. "
— David, 2/11/2014" This is so good. I wish it was required reading for all Bible College attendees. "
— Lobug, 1/18/2014" A Christian's response to a wicked generation. Schaeffer brings reason to those wishing to ponder, reflect, analyze, and then act as light unto the world. Really excellent. "
— Myron, 1/18/2014" Such a helpful discussion. Lots to think about and much to apply. "
— Shay, 1/12/2014" A great book and still a wake up call, 30 years later. "
— Mark, 1/10/2014" Laughable. "
— k.wing, 12/30/2013" Christian involvement in politics "
— Tony, 12/28/2013" Inspiring and Insightful "
— Matt, 12/28/2013" Very thought provoking. Not sure I agree with the late Professor's view on civil disobedience or even armed resistance. "
— John, 12/21/2013" Excellent. Also read in December of 1981. "
— Douglas, 12/17/2013" I read this book in college in the early 80s. It was good at the time, but I would like to re-read it to see how it holds up after all that time. "
— David, 12/7/2013" This really set me right. "
— Stefani, 11/13/2013" This was a book that did an excellent Job at making you think, was a little preachy at the end, but was an amazing book "
— Danno, 12/6/2012" Very accessible and clear call for Christian action in all of life. "
— Andrew, 9/28/2012" I read this book in college and it was horrible. The writing was bad, the arguments lacked logical cohesion. I agreed with a lot of his positions (although not all), but the tone, style, diction, and syntax made it all but unreadable. "
— Cheryl, 9/25/2012" Good stuff, but it becomes very focused on certain issues. When it was being a history book, I liked it. When it got political, less so. "
— Eric, 5/14/2012" if taken to its logical conclusion, we'd be blowing up abortion clinics behind pat robertson riding a white steed "
— Larry, 4/6/2012" A fantastic read that is sadly necessary to combat those who downplay this belief instead of respecting it as a legitimate philosophy on life. "
— John, 8/17/2011" Actually listen. Audio book. "
— Christian, 7/26/2011" Schaeffer's concepts need an additional knowledge of history; his vocabulary is extremely academic. His most interesting points was reasons in certain cases when Christians shouldn't obey the law. I'm still sorting through what I think about his points, but they were none-the-less challenging. "
— Charlie, 7/20/2011" A christian classic a great christian philosopher of the 20th century. "
— Dean, 4/28/2011" This book is more of a call to action than his previous titles which I would characterize more as analysis and insight. Sure do miss his voice. "
— Rick, 3/11/2011" I read this book in college and it was horrible. The writing was bad, the arguments lacked logical cohesion. I agreed with a lot of his positions (although not all), but the tone, style, diction, and syntax made it all but unreadable. "
— Cheryl, 12/24/2010" A very thought-provoking read. I agreed with a lot of it, but some of it went too far for me. I was struck by how much the 1970's perspective sounded just like today's analysis of today's problems and looming outcomes. Same characters under different names. "
— Claire, 11/15/2010" Very thought provoking. Not sure I agree with the late Professor's view on civil disobedience or even armed resistance. "
— John, 10/17/2010" A christian classic a great christian philosopher of the 20th century. "

— Douglas, 5/18/2009" This was a book that did an excellent Job at making you think, was a little preachy at the end, but was an amazing book "
— Danno, 12/7/2008" Food for thought....one of his last books before he died. Thought provoking and debatable. "
