America's Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires and Superpowers . . . and the Future of the United States

Review\nStunning...A sobering look at the likelihood the USA survives the various attacks and assaults that are being made against her from within our borders...Go get it! -- Rush Limbaugh\nIn America's Expiration Date, Cal Thomas offers a sobering message: that the United States is on the downward slope to self-destruction. You may agree with his analysis or not (I do not), but in view of the fall of other great empires throughout history, Thomas's injunction is well worth pondering. -- Jay Winik, author, New York Times bestselling April 1865 and 1944\nCal Thomas brings a lifetime of working to save America and thinking deeply about what threatens us and what the lessons of history are. If we follow Cal's advice, America's expiration date will be put off for decades and decades. -- Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, US House of Representatives\nI read Cal Thomas, always have, and have the utmost respect for the sincerity, depth, and insight of his work. -- Peggy Noonan, columnist, Wall Street Journal\nIn his timely new book, America's Expiration Date, my friend Cal Thomas shows clearly that unless we in America take seriously the grim lessons of previous empires, we are very soon doomed to follow in their footsteps. But by showing us just how those empires rose and fell, he makes our vital history lesson far easier and more fun that it might otherwise be. Bravo! -- Eric Metaxas, author, New York Times bestselling Bonhoeffer; Martin Luther; and If You Can Keep It; nationally syndicated host, The Eric Metaxas Radio Show\nA warning and a wake-up call to learn history so we are not doomed to repeat it. A must-read for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.
What is wrong with America today? Is it possible that America could crumble and our democracy fail?
Questions like these plague Americans and cause us to be anxious about the future of the "land that we love." Individuals may come to different conclusions, but there seems to be a common thread - the deep-seated feeling that we need to improve our country. Our culture is increasingly immoral, the family structure is threatened from all sides, and government programs consistently overreach, creating massive debt.
In this powerful and prophetic book, nationally syndicated columnist and trusted political commentator Cal Thomas offers a diagnosis of what exactly is wrong with the United States by drawing parallels to once-great empires and nations that declined into oblivion. Citing the historically proven 250-year pattern of how superpowers rise and fall, he predicts that America's expiration date is just around the corner and shows us how to escape their fate.
Through biblical insights and hard-hitting truth, he reminds us that real change comes when America looks to God instead of Washington. Scripture, rather than politics, is the GPS he uses to point readers to the right road - a road of hope, life, and change. Because, he says, if we're willing to seek God first, learn from history, and make changes at the individual and community level, we can not only survive, but thrive, again.
This powerful, timely, and much-needed perspective is a must-read for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.
