The collapse of the Roman Empire occurred in a single generation and was not so much the result of invasions by their enemies; but the result of moral decay and internal corruption. Similar patterns are emerging in America and the elimination of the Christian cross is one of the most significant symbols of that cultural decay. Today; forces are at work to strip this "dangerous symbol" from public venues and to minimize its significance. Many Muslim leaders are convinced that when Christianity disintegrates it will create a spiritual vacuum in the West-and their extreme brand of Islam will rush in to fill that void. They believe that Western civilization will become so decadent that America will collapse like a house of cards. Dr. Youssef writes that Christians must stand up against these attacks and defend the cross as a symbol of the love and grace of God; and he provides a diagnosis of the insanity of the current culture and a prescription for restoring sanity to a world gone mad.

An excellent; reader-friendly textbook for high school students or adults of all backgroundsBy Midwest Book ReviewFilled with vintage black-and-white as well as color photographic images throughout; Women Making America is history of women's contributions to the United States from the 1770s to the modern day. From Mary Walker; who earned a Medal of Honor serving as military surgeon for the Union during the Civil War; to Dorothy Harrison Eustis; founder of the first American seeing-eye-dog school in 1930; to Shirley Chisholm; the first black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1968; Women Making America touches upon the lives of extraordinary individuals as well as covering the broad societal transitions and issues affecting America in general and its women in particular as the nation evolved. "In rural households; women and men had their own; specific jobs. Women cared for cows and chickens; made butter and cheese; gathered eggs; grew vegetables and herbs; hauled water; and gathered wood. Men cleared land; plowed and planted corn; butchered animals; and maintained tools and buildings. If they had an orchard; they maintained it together. Men's work followed the cycle of the seasons; with stretches of intense physical exertion followed by periods of rest. Women's work; no matter the season; had no end." An excellent; reader-friendly textbook for high school students or adults of all backgrounds.
