Customer Reviews

Great but about disturning trends....

Rev. Wildmon has done a good job of compiling some really disturbing trends. Some of the other reviewers who gave this book bad reviews must be liberals, non-christians or both. Christians are being silenced bit by bit. A lot of it comes from public schools. For instance instead of "Merry Christmas" it's "Happy Holidays." Students not allowed to bring bibles to school. In her graduation speech one Valedictorian was prohibited to say the work Jesus in her speech. Homosexuality being promoted in schools. This book brings out a lot of good points. America is in a downward spiral. As George Washing ton said, "A republic must have two pillars. Religion & Morality." Both of these are going south in America very fast.

An important wakeup call

Throughout the West Christianity is increasingly coming under attack. Religious freedom in general and Christianity in particular are both under direct assault as the West moves in a leftwards and secular direction. Donald Wildman, who has for decades championed pro-faith and pro-family causes, here documents the relentless war being waged against biblical Christianity. He provides numerous examples of how Christians in North America are being targeted by secular activists. All these cases of anti-Christian bigotry and intimidation make for very sobering reading. One wonders how it is that a nation like the US has so quickly become a land where Christians are being bullied into silence, and where activist minority groups are turning the values and beliefs of a once great nation upside down. Earlier books have offered similar warnings. Persecution by David Limbaugh (Regnery, 2003) and The Criminalization of Christianity by Janet Folger (Multnomah, 2005) were two such books. But things have heated up considerably even since those volumes were released. Simply listing the many examples of the war on Christianity could fill volumes. Consider briefly a few recent cases: -Christians are arrested for expressing their concerns about homosexuality. -A church was told by the government that it must allow lesbian "weddings" to be performed there. -Workers are being fired for simply quoting from the Bible. -Christians are jailed for singing in a public park where a homosexual festival is held. -School kids have been threatened for daring to recite passages of Scripture. -Christian charities are being shut down for refusing to comply with politically correct agendas. -Workers are told the words "family values" are offensive and could not be used in the workplace. -Fines and imprisonment are being handed out to those who speak up for Christian values in the public arena. The list goes on and on. A once free nation is now becoming a soft totalitarian state, where the biggest threat to the government seems to be biblical Christians who stand up for their faith. Wildmon documents how in every field - be it education, the workplace, finance and taxation, the media, the courts - laws are being passed and actions taken which specifically target believers who refuse to bow to the secularist agenda. Wildmon examines groups like the ACLU which seek to "intimidate the schools and other public institutions into censoring Christian speech" for fear of legal action. He also looks at how government bodies are putting the squeeze on Christian groups, all the while funding and promoting organisations which oppose Christianity. Increasingly it is an activist judiciary which is using rights talk to target Christians. Legislation which sounds good on the surface is being used to implement the secular left's agenda and silence believers. Whether it is anti-discrimination legislation or equal opportunity laws, it is getting harder by the day for believers to freely procla

Insidious and Pervasive Moral Degradation

The book is a must read for all Christians. The war on morality today is so pervasive that even innocence is seen as being "gay" ...innocence as in not sexually active.

All Christians should read this book

Christian speech is in peril and this book identifies the remedies that can be used to bring the U.S. back to its Christian roots. I have recommended the book and DVD to all of my family members and to all church congregations that we attend as we travel around the U.S.

Speechless Rocks

Somehow, Christianity is just supposed to go away. Look at the other review on this site. First, I would recommend actually reading the book before posting a review. Secondly, the book is thoroughly annotated and documents a plethora of cases where Christianity is now considered hate speech. I am a Christian and can tell you from my own personal experiences that this book tells the truth. People of faith are becoming more fearful in a climate and a culture that makes fun of Christianity in secular, business and even family settings. You either have to surround yourself with people of similar beliefs, or you have to shut up around people who might feel "uncomfortable" with talk of faith, especially the name of Jesus. It's a total lie that somehow the religious right is imposing their views on any one. We are attempting to just keep what's ours. The constituion protects free speech, and this book is ammunition in the current culture war.
