Taking A Stand In Our Dying Land: Why America Needs the Church to Rise and Shine

Taking a Stand in Our Dying Land issues a call to action that can’t be ignored, challenging America’s church to awaken from its slumber in the face of crumbling Christian foundations and join the battle for the soul of the nation at this critical spiritual and moral crossroads. The book begins by shining a light on the problems facing America’s Christians and provides a history lesson on how its Judeo-Christian foundation has been eroding over time. It goes on to address the important matters of same-sex marriage, transgender and identity issues, racism and division, human trafficking and pornography, abortion, and the growing religious divide among millennials. And how should the church respond? Author Stephen J. Mitchell makes his case for living out our faith without compromise, speaking the truth in love, avoiding the temptation to marry Christ with politics, and standing up for what we believe in—even if doing so puts us at odds with the government and the law. Closing with an uplifting chapter on the potential for a spiritual and religious awakening, this empowering book challenges the church to become the shining light in America that will help bring this vital reawakening about.
