Christians in the Arena: Stepping into the Arenas of ... (ISBN 1933853468)

This book is a must-read for every Christian...:
Have you begun to believe that the mainstream media is perhaps right? Perhaps the correct interpretation of part of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." - commonly referred to as "separation of Church and State," - means removing God and reverence of God from every public action, document and edifice in the United States of America? If so, you may be fairly shocked to find Alibrando listing in his book - Christians in the Arena - individual acknowledgements to God in ALL 50 of our states' constitutions - 46 of which occur in the preamble. From Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia in 1776 to Hawaii in 1959, "America's founders and even the state founders never intended for there to be a separation of God and state, as it is being misinterpreted today," says Alibrando. We have documented states' evidence of our reliance upon His protection, our beseeching of His blessings and the conveying of our thanksgiving to Him for our civil and religious liberties. Alibrando does not play the proverbial blame-game. "Enough pointing fingers... what do I need to change in my heart and life?" is the underlying question throughout the book. Alibrando calls us to action - individually - reminding us that each Christian must keep his or her eyes on Jesus and work on perfecting his or her walk with Him, loving others, standing up for what is right, and not tolerating sin. In a mere 173 pages: *Alibrando passionately, yet humbly, calls Christians to stand up and quit yielding our God-given and blood-bought right to Biblical morality in America, as well as in our homes and in our lives. *Alibrando backs up his statements with infallible truth by citing numerous scriptures from the Word of God as the unyielding foundation and law upon which our decisions must be governed. *Alibrando uses easy-to-understand analogies as well as historical examples, and presents truth with simple clarity in a conversational format. *Alibrando rallies readers to righteousness, "If the Christians do not lead this nation in righteousness, who will?" (page 146) This book is a must-read for every Christian who finds himself or herself becoming apathetic or indifferent to America's gradual turn away from God. Abortion is legal. Homosexuality is becoming rampant. Wickedness abounds. As Christians, we say we're too busy to get involved, or we remain silent. However, there is no greater cause than fighting for the eternal life and Godliness of souls as well as the life of the innocent. Godly parents raise Godly children. Love begets love. Iron sharpens iron. Our future is at stake. Alibrando has the reader asking "Where are the Christians?" I stand with the author and say let's stand up and be counted. We have remained the "silent majority" for far too long and have thus forfeited precious rights that we may never get back. Let us not give up any more. Let us seek to recover what we have lost. Let us lead by example. As Alibrando asserts, "silence is consent."
