DOWNLOAD EBOOKOur nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, encouraged by America's founding fathers that believed there was a God who created everyone for a purpose. However, recent times have changed the United States into the secularist movement of America, one focused on removing God from the nation in favor of political correctness. The Deconstruction of the American Culture, the newest book from Christian author Steve Galloway, focuses on religious diversifying within the United States, people becoming more of a "me" generation and redefining key foundations of life such as marriage, life and even the significance of Christmas. Steve, being a pastor himself, also broaches on the subject of church complacency and how important it is for the teachings of Jesus to begin at home, taught to our own children. We were created by God to be disciples of Christ, but now is the time to lead the nation back to God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmerican culture is adversarial to the teachings Jesus Christ laid out in the Sermon on the Mount. The pace of modern living challenges us to embrace a cultural understanding of our faith that is absent of the life Christ taught. In these pages you will find the necessary reminder about the importance of what Jesus said and how living His words should look in our culture. National reawakening must begin with individual reawakening. We hope to begin a new Christian lifestyle that is centered on Christ’s power that enables us to live simply by what He said in the Sermon on the Mount.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStar Wars, Amadeus, A Separate Place, Tender Mercies, Grand Canyon, Tootsie, Ordinary People, Empire of the Sun, Pale Rider, Red Dawn, and Dead Poets Society--all these movies show concern for deep human issues also treated in the Bible. The films provide evidence that many of the apostle Paul's themes in his New Testament letters are relevant for today. Contemporary movies, according to Robert Jewett, influence many Americans more than their formal education or religious training. And, since Paul interpreted the gospel on other people's turf, Jewett believes that today his forum would involve the movies, a primary source of discovering and debating important moral, cultural, and religious issues. Jewett treats film and biblical passages with equal respect. He brings their ideas and metaphors into relationship so that new insights emerge about both the ancient texts and the American cultural situation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUsing a nontechnical presentation of recent research and a sometimes-whimsical treatment of contemporary artifacts, Robert Jewett shows how Paul engages and challenges American society in unexpected ways. He offers preliminary explorations of the relevance of Paul's letters to the American scene and exploits the resources of scientific biblical research that allow Paul's message to be clarified. Important trends in American culture, including popular entertainment and books, are brought into interaction with freshly discovered aspects of Pauline thought.
