A healthy and united America--perhaps a country more united than it has ever been--is truly possible, and it starts with us. John Kingston draws on wisdom from history, science, faith, and culture, along with his own experiences, to offer eight principles for discovering purpose, meaning, and true community. We live in the greatest peace and prosperity that the world has ever known, but Americans are feeling more division, isolation, depression, and despair than ever before. These are issues of the soul. We seem unable to find purpose and meaning. We can't find "the life that is truly life"--a vibrant and purpose-filled way of living best experienced together. From his youth, Kingston has always carried a vision for a free and united America. With an approachable and conversational style, as well as a dash of humor, Kingston draws on a diverse and compelling collection of wisdom--the parables of the Bible and the philosophy of Aristotle, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, the songs of Bruce Springsteen and current studies from the best neuro and social scientists today--to remind us that there is no "them," there is only us, and we're in this together. In American Awakening, Kingston offers eight timeless principles for breaking through this darkness and despair and cultivating a radical togetherness, both here in this country and around the globe. You'll discover the profound impact of: In-person connection Making more from less Discovering purpose Redeeming adversity Responding instead of reacting Finding your unique sense of belonging Wherever you find yourself politically or spiritually, a healthy and united America starts with you. Join the Awakening movement and let's rediscover who we are--together.

Restoring America's Soul lays out a clear, concise and inspired vision of what made America such an exceptional nation and how we can get there again. Today's culture derides and dismisses the traditional, time-proven values that made America great--so-called conservative values. Liberal professors, the mainstream news media, and the Hollywood propaganda machine are brainwashing the nation's youth, convincing them that conservativism--the values once held by most of America--amounts to hateful extremism. Nothing could be further from the truth. The true heart of conservatism is its desire to conserve the timeless principles worthy of being kept and to pursue virtue through disciplined self-governance. Too many modern conservatives have lost sight of the transcendent goals that made America great and stand out from the rest of the world. Restoring America's Soul reignites the vision and mission of authentic conservatism and equips busy people to make a fresh and persuasive case for conservative public policy positions on specific key issues. Restoring America's Soul examines conservative's current identity crisis and how it has undermined their effectiveness in attracting citizens and motivating them to become both informed and politically active. Contrasting the popular perceptions of the two major parties, Dunaway urges conservatives to focus more energy on telling others what they support than what they oppose. She reminds conservatives of their noble roots, affirming their ideological alignment with the Founding Fathers' biblical plan for a limited federal government. Rather than solely opposing liberal-left policies, Restoring America's Soul offers genuine solutions to today's multiple crises. Refreshingly, Dunaway suggests an enlightened course forward for the thoughtful conservative.

The Soul of America undertakes to trace the development of those spiritual values that have become an integral and permanent part of the American character. The first part of the book is devoted to an examination of the interrelationship between these spiritual values and historical events. The author then proceeds with a thorough analysis of those elements of the American spirit that are most characteristic today: democracy, efficiency, liberality, provincialism, individuality, humor, and vision. These interpretations are presented from an original viewpoint that ignores conventional opinions and outwork clichés, giving the reader new insight into the forces that shape American history. This book is valuable not only as a study of the past but also as a guide to understanding the contemporary scene and the course of America's future.

Restoring America One County at a Time is an action manual for anyone concerned about restoring individual freedom in our country. But it's much more than just an action manual. It boldly represents the type of iconoclastic history lessons, biblical studies, moral challenges, unpopular truths, and reformational remedies a restored Christian republic will require.This book is a training manual designed to empower your whole education and worldview. It is for the serious only. It will not do to content ourselves with lip service to patriotism, faith, and freedom. We must have real, substantial plans and real, practical action items. These must be clear and they must be broad, addressing every single area of life. Restoring America One County at a Time is an inspiring and practical vision of America based upon the Bible, covering ten major areas of life: Education, Welfare, Local Government, State Government, Taxation, Money and Banking, Free Markets, Courts, War and the Military, and Executive Power.Every four years, Americans line up at their local polling places to cast their ballots for President. Most of them believe this is the most important vote they make -- the very essence of their voice in American politics. Yet, while they haggle over which party's middleman will sit in the White House, the civil government continues its unimpeded invasion into the personal lives of every citizen. Most Americans are unwittingly expanding the State's power simply by believing that real change begins at the national level. Restoring America One County at a Time shatters this misconception, exploring the destructive path government centralization has taken in ten crucial areas of American life. It also provides concrete advice on how families and individuals can reverse the national trends that threaten the life, liberty, and property of every American.National change need not happen at the national level. This well-researched analysis of American history establishes that real change cannot happen through coercive centralized controls, no matter how good one's intentions may be. Radical change at the national level must flow naturally from a careful return to biblical prescriptions at the local level. If you're tired of the right-wing, left-wing party see-saw that never seems to make any difference. If you're tired of the talk radio griping that never really offers any solutions. If you want to work for significant change now, find out how in this incisive book.

With over 380 footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography, Healing America's Soul is based on the most extensive and detailed biblical analysis of the Jamestown Colony since Peter Marshall's The Light and the Glory in 1973. This book is primarily written for Christians who want to partner with God's desire to heal America. It is also a valuable reference for students of American Christian history. As England's first permanent colony, the Virginia Colony- based in Jamestown, Virginia, -birthed the United States of America. Not only did the Virginia Colony eventually encompass almost the entire landmass of the continental United States, but its political, cultural, religious, financial and spiritual makeup has also powerfully shaped America in ways that continue to this day. This book focuses mainly on the negative aspects of that colonial makeup so that they can be corrected. The primary purpose of Healing America's Soul is to help American Christians understand the power of past sins that have corrupted America and the power of repentance to restore America. According to the Bible, only deep, personal and corporate repentance can heal a nation. America can be healed- but only by the American Church. This book gives clear guidelines to begin that process. May God use this book to prepare the American Church for the Third Great Awakening that God longs to release upon our land and upon the world! Only a powerful move of God's Spirit can deeply heal America and the nations of the world. It begins with repentance in word and deed.

On that first miraculous Easter morning nearly 2000 years ago, the world was forever changed as Jesus Christ was resurrected and came back from the dead. He had finally conquered all his enemies, the last one being death itself... and he promised that one day he would return again, to rule and reign on Earth forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords He will keep that promise When he arose from the dead and showed himself to his Disciples as well as hundreds of other eye-witnesses, he reaffirmed His mission; he taught the same Gospel and proclaimed the identical message to all his followers as he'd done prior to his crucifixion. His teachings did NOT change... his message was absolutely clear then, and remains so today for those who read the Bible and understand it's teachings God has declared that he NEVER changes, that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever... and in fact, if he did change, that would make him a liar, a changeable being, and he would cease to be God Why is it then that so many people in the world today believe that his message, his teachings and his commandments either have changed, or must be made to change to keep up with the times? How can anyone believe that the things he taught while he lived and walked on Earth are no longer relevant to those of us living today? Liberals and those who reject Christ's teachings believe that the original fundamental doctrines of Christ simply have no place in today's enlightened society... but that's an absurd and evil notion. God does not modify his teachings to accommodate shifting values or the whims of misguided individuals. Only a fool could ever believe in a politically correct God. And since God and his teachings cannot change, it stands to reason that his punishments and rewards are also fixed and unchangeable. Because of that, it's critical that Christians, those who desire to live with God after this life, learn exactly what is required and expected of them. That is the purpose of this book. If there's going to be a resurrection or a resurgence of Christianity in America, a return to the original truths taught by Jesus 2000 years ago, it absolutely MUST be a total resurrection including all the original teachings, the same doctrine, and the identical principles that Christ taught when he lived in Jerusalem and it's vicinity... if it doesn't, it's not true Christianity. This book demonstrates why it's essential to return to Christ's teachings. It points out the fallacy of many of today's religious institutions, particularly those who have caved in to the politically correct thinking of the leftists of our day. This book will illustrate how so many of our so called Christian churches have perverted and departed from the original doctrine of Jesus Christ. Liberalism in America today is destroying this country, turning it into nothing more than another corrupt civilization that will be ripe and ready for destruction soon. And when the majority of the people reject God, we will suffer the same fate as every other corrupt civilization in history... and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.
