The Marketing of Evil (& Lies)

Americans have come to tolerate, embrace and even champion many things that would have horrified their parents' generation—from easy divorce and unrestricted abortion-on-demand to extreme body piercing and teaching homosexuality to grade-schoolers. Does that mean today's Americans are inherently more morally confused and depraved than previous generations? Of course not, says veteran journalist David Kupelian. But they have fallen victim to some of the most stunningly brilliant and compelling marketing campaigns in modern history.

Twilight of a Great Civilization

"A half-generation ago the pagans were still largely threatening at the gates of Western culture; now the barbarians are plunging into the... mainstream. As they seek to reverse the inherited intellectual and moral heritage of the Bible,... [we are] engaged as never before in a rival conflict for the mind, the conscience, the will, the spirit, the very selfhood of contemporary man." --Carl F. H. Henry

Twilight of a Great Civilization is a penetrating critique, by a distinguished Christian leader, of the moral and intellectual disintegration sweeping our culture. But more than this, it is a book of promise and possibilities--a ringing affirmation of the power of the gospel to transform hearts and minds, and to leave a lasting impact upon our age.

The Handwriting Is on the Wall

Poets once said, “The sun never sets on the British Empire.” Billions considered the United States a beacon of freedom and prosperity. But times are changing. Millennia ago, Bible prophecy warned of a sobering change ahead for the Western nations.

What is ahead for America and other Western nations? History and Bible prophecy hold sobering answers!

Shocking and almost unbelievable changes are taking place in nations that once proclaimed, "In God we trust." In so-called "Christian" America, where President Andrew Jackson once said the Bible was the foundation of the Republic, atheists and secularists regularly win battles to banish prayer and remove the Ten Commandments from public display. Instead of learning the truth about creation and Jesus Christ, public school students can learn about Muhammad, or Shiva, or about how to be a witch! In England, where martyrs once died to uphold their understanding of the Bible, children now learn in grade school how to practice "safe sex," and theologians write about the impending "death" of Christianity in Britain. In Holland—once a nursery of the Protestant Reformation and a sanctuary for Puritans who later came to America—prostitutes, deviant sex and drug parlors are now prominent features in many cities. In Australia, flamboyant parades by homosexuals are among the biggest tourist attractions on the annual social calendar.

The Last Christian on Earth

The Last Christian on Earth is an incisive and wide-ranging analysis of what has happened to bring about the decline of the Church in America and the West and an open and passionate plea for reformation and revival. Using the device of one spy writing memoranda to another on how to undermine the Church, Os Guinness helps us to see ourselves as others see us and to recognize what has really caused the damage. It is much more than a critique, and it does not finish pessimistically.

If you are saddened by the shallow and ineffectual state of the Church in America and the West and puzzled by what has caused such a sorry decline, you need to read this book slowly and on your knees. We are living in an urgent hour for all followers of Jesus in the West.
