A "must read" if you love the USA.By Sherman WisemanI couldn't quite give this book a perfect rating because of a few flaws in the writing style caused by the combination of the work of the two authors. The authors show that it is not only okay; but it is the only logical position; to hold the traditional values that the United States was founded on. If you are concerned about the direction the country has been headed or wondered if it's OK in today's society to be religious; then this booh is for you. Ithe would be an excellent book for home school instructions or to correct some of the anti American teaching found in public schools.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
