About this listen
Nationally syndicated radio host and columnist Michael L. Brown provides a handbook for a biblically based moral and cultural renaissance, revealing that the key to recapturing America's greatness consists in returning to our spiritual and moral roots.
America is at a tipping point, and never has this been more apparent than right now. We are in danger of losing our spiritual and moral heritage, making many believe that we have fallen beyond the point of recovery. This book is here to say that yes, we have fallen. In fact fallen much further than we realize, but our country's best days are ahead - with the help of a radical, moral, and cultural revolution, beginning with the church. This book is a manual for the revolution.
On all fronts Americans are talking about the need for revolution, arguing from the left and the right that "the status quo must go!" This book comes at just the right time, as people are wondering what in the world has happened to our country - from homes to college campuses, from the inner cities to the White House, from our national debt to the material found on our computers and TV screens. In clear, compelling prose, Brown covers topics ranging from the sexualization of pop culture to the dumbing down of our schools, to the undermining of family structures, and to a pervasive culture of entitlement while pointing consistently to the Bible's solution to these issues. A radical call for reformation written with sobriety and hope, Saving a Sick America provides the inspiration and guidance necessary for a moral and cultural revolution.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Jezebel was the most wicked woman in the Bible, a powerful seductress who killed the prophets, led Israel into idolatry and immorality, and emasculated men. She was seductive and determined to snuff out the voices coming against her In 21st-century America, Jezebel is not a person. But it’s as if the spirit of Jezebel is alive again today. The influence of the same demonic force is being felt in the massive increase of pornography and sexual temptation, the militant spirit of abortion, the rise of radical feminism, and most importantly, in the attempt to silence prophetic voices.

Story
Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when it was published over 50 years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. Why Revival Tarries contains the heart of his message. AW Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at [a] critical moment in history", just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study.

J.P. Moreland issues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom living—to cultivate a revolution of Evangelical life, spirituality, thought, and Spirit-led power. Moreland believes that evangelical Christianity can mature and lead the surrounding society out of the meaningless morass it finds itself in with humility and vision. With clear insight, he puts the thoughtful Christian in a position to understand our current struggle and to return to a responsible presentation of "the way of Christ" as not just a way of right living, but also a way of knowledge and meaningful life.

Detailed Clarity; Practical Truth
Dr. Brown clearly and effectively communicates the foundation and decline of America, and the steps needed for correction. In order to save a sick America, we must allow the Lord to address our sick selves. Clear content that is ready to be practically applied.
The narrator does a good job as well. He reads clearly, in a measured rhythm, and does a good job of not getting between the reader and the text.

Answer: The church being more Christian
Story was good, narrator was good. I was hoping the book was more holistic in nature with a more profound, multi-layered and methodical approach to solving the problems America faces. I've been studying this challenge for some time and think maybe I need to be the one to create this through my ministry because I haven't found it yet! This book covers the broader picture and focuses on what Christians can do individually to improve our Christian character. It is about how the American church can become more authentic in its Christian witness to the rest of the nation.
