Logos Bookstore Association Award World Magazine Book of the Year
The hour is critical. The American republic is suffering its
gravest crisis since the Civil War. Conflicts, hostility, and
incivility now threaten to tear the country apart. Competing
visions have led to a dangerous moment of cultural
self-destruction. This is no longer politics as usual, but an era
of political warfare where our enemies are not foreign adversaries,
but our fellow citizens. Yet the roots of the crisis are deeper
than many realize. Os Guinness argues that we face a fundamental
crisis of freedom, as America's genius for freedom has become her
Achilles' heel. Our society's conflicts are rooted in two rival
views of freedom, one embodied in "1776" and the ideals of the
American Revolution, and the other in "1789" and the ideals of the
French Revolution. Once again America has become a house divided,
and Americans must make up their minds as to which freedom to
follow. Will the constitutional republic be restored or replaced?
This grand treatment of history, civics, and ethics in the Jewish
and Christian traditions represents Guinness's definitive
exploration of the prospects for human freedom today. He calls for
a national conversation on the nature of freedom, and poses key
questions for concerned citizens to consider as we face a critical
chapter in the American story. He offers readers a checklist by
which they can assess the character and consequences of the
freedoms they are choosing. In the tradition of Alexis de
Tocqueville, Guinness provides a visitor's careful observation of
the American experiment. Discover here a stirring vision for
faithful citizenship and renewed responsibility for not only the
nation but also the watching world.
