Synopsis:

Ralph Reed is a perennial commentator on CNN, NBC, CBS, and Fox News, who has a support database of 18 million voters. He has advised presidential candidates for the last six election cycles. Highly respected by conservatives and liberals alike, Reed outlines why and how our country will awaken from its current destructive path and return to a new age of blessing.


My take on this book:
With Awakening by Ralph Reed, nothing is held back! The first sentence in the first chapter asks the question "Are we watching our nation commit suicide?" I myself know that every day I think things can't get any worse and then I watch the news and find that yes indeed things certainly can and are. The United States is living in a time of moral, social, and economic decline. Violence seems to be the normal, and foul language is something that is heard almost everywhere I go. Thing is there is hope, because God doesn't forsake the faithful, so it is never to late. While Awakening points out much of what is ailing our country, he also provides the spiritual path for healing it as well. An easy to read book broken down into three parts, and fifteen chapters that are very user friendly. Written in terms that anyone can understand, each chapter touches on a different topic, such as the spiritual cycle,the life of marriage, and the importance of strengthening the family. At the end of each chapter there are action points that might steer the reader toward scripture, or share some other bit of wisdom that pertains to the chapter read. I will say that the chapter that really spoke to me had to be the last one titled "A Call To Christian Citizenship" which really motivates the reader into action reminding that the movement toward renewal starts with each of us. A book that certainly provides fuel for thought. God will Bless America again if we find our way back to him, and Awakening will certainly help point it's readers in the right direction. Such a timely read that would be perfect for  group study and discussion!
