Arrived on time Good book

It's a keeper

Whether a result of divine intervention or merely coincidence, the statistics from before and after the 1962 court decision speak for themselves. This book opened my eyes to data from before my birth that helped put things in perspective. I liked it. It was easy to read and understand. It's one I'll keep in my library and I'm sure you'll want to as well. Read the book and make your own decision. Too many people use these reviews as thier own personal soapboxes.

To Pray or Not to Pray

This is an excellent account of historical fact. The repercusions of our actions, or inaction, leaves a distaste in the pit of our stomach. The social reality of where our country was before the 9/11 attacks has been laid out in a way that only those who refuse to see reality can argue against Barton's research. The writer from Ohio who was embarrased to reveal his name is one such person. I hope that you will disregard his adolescent ranting and name-calling because this book is excellent!

What has happened to America since prayer is out of school?

This book shows in clear chart form what has happened to our society since prayer was taken out of public schools in 1962. 40 charts clearly show the degredation of morals, the increase in violence, the increase in disease, and the drop in performance on standardized tests since 1962. What is interesting is that almost all these indicators of civilized life were pretty much constant until 1962. If you are interested in helping to bring this country back to sanity, be sure to get this book to share with your friends and neighbors.

It was very enlightening because of the statistics.

I enjoyed reading "To Pray of Not to Pray" because I enjoy non-fiction reading. It disturbed me the fact that since prayer was taken out of public schools, the country's school system has been going down ever since. I do not have any children of my own, but I do have nieces and nephews who are in the school system. Since reading this book, I will encourage my brothers and sisters to pray with their children before they leave for school. Prayer in schools may never return, but I know that if parents pray with their children at home that the guardian angels will be with them on their way to school, in school, and on their way home from school.My prayer is that many people will read this book and learn why our schools are in the shape they are in.
