| Publisher Description: CULTURE IN DISTRESS...from the Loss of Virtue History is replete with examples of civilizations and cultures that failed due to the decline in moral values. Today, our Western culture is headed that way, with signs threatening the very freedoms upon which the United States was founded. The loss of virtue has created a vacuum for cardinal sin to take over the culture. Lucifer's seeds seem to have fallen on fertile ground due to years of neglect in the moral development and harvesting of grace in souls. If there is to be hope for the future, there must not be a poverty of the spirit. If a good, joyful, God-filled life is to be left in the hands of our children and their children, we need a sudden turnaround. This book addresses: How the culture has gone off the tracks; What makes matters so difficult to correct; and, Why is it so urgent to correct the culture now We see our culture in distress right before our eyes but seem unable to stop it. Why is this? The answer is complex and to start to understand it, we need to examine some of its root causes. Today, unchecked relativism and atheism are hitting at the heart of America like a tidal wave, and its effects can sink it. We need to grab the lifeline while we still can. What kind of cultural landscape will our children be left to toil... a "good earth" or a "scorched earth"? The answer is in our hands. |
