Under Siege: No Finer Time to Be a Faithful Catholic

How can we turn the tide and recapture a lost culture? How did America's godless forces get so far? And how do we respond when so many politicians and clergy seem so lethargic? A leading Catholic strategist's stirring blueprint and call to action. Decades as a Christian leader-most notably at the U.N. as president of the Center for Family & Human Rights-have earned culture warrior Austin Ruse his share of defeats and triumphs. But from his many confrontations with the dark side of human nature, Ruse acquired keen tactical insights that made him a uniquely seasoned combatant. One comes away from this groundbreaking book with the sense that the author knows the enemy better than the enemy knows himself. Ruse examines how the anti-Christian forces gained power over every major institution in America-and exposes their most deviant plans for the future. He then unfurls a roadmap for meeting the challenges American Christians now face and issues an authoritative call to arms, brilliantly arguing that there is no finer time to be a faithful Catholic. As dark as these days appear to be, Ruse argues that God Himself has called each of us to live in this time and place, vanquish the enemies of civilization, and contribute to the renewal of society and the Church. He predicts that future generations will look upon ours with envy and think themselves unlucky to have missed being here with us in these dangerous times and responding to the urgent call to recapture and rebuild Christendom.
