In this provocative and ultimately hopeful book, he gives us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family.The Perilous Fight equips us to understand:The hard data behind the breakdown of the family and its effects on our society, including poverty, crime, and deteriorating education.The core biblical beliefs that led our nation into unprecedented freedom and prosperity--and why abandoning those beliefs led to the social decline we see today.The fresh ideas and public policy options that could reverse negative trends impacting the family while maintaining a balance between constitutional freedoms and governmental involvement.This is a practical and inspiring book for anyone who:Feels discouraged about the state of our country and its institutions.Needs hope that there are commonsense, attainable solutions that we all can practice.Appreciates a conservative, Scripture-based approach to restoring faith, liberty, community, and life in America.Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities.
