Publisher Description
It's time to take back what the devil has stolen and bring God back into our culture.
Phil Robertson, patriarch of A&E's Duck Dynasty and one of the most recognized voices of conservative Christianity in America, believes that little by little, generation by generation, America has allowed the lines of morality, decency, and virtue to be erased. Our values have disappeared as we began to believe lies that have only sown discord and division. But, most importantly, Phil also believes that things can change.
Written with captivating storytelling and unflinching honesty, The Theft of America's Soul shows us how to make America a God-honoring nation once more by dropping the ten central lies that rule our day and replacing them with timeless, biblical truths, including:
God's people represent his voice in the worldTrue unity comes from a God-centered cultureGod's standard for all time is the standard of virtue
The Theft of America's Soul is a prophetic wake-up call for anyone who wants to see our nation thrive, challenging us to exchange lies for truths that will bring peace of mind, harmony, and prosperity back to our country--an invitation to experience the life-giving, peace-filling, wholly-transforming love of God.
Praise for The Theft of America's Soul:
"The moral clarity in this book is so powerful and so refreshing I wish I could give it to everyone I know. Incidentally, the only way something could be this full of truth and wisdom is if its author is a prophet. That he is. Hear him."
--Eric Metaxas, author of Bonhoeffer
"In The Theft of America's Soul, the Duck Commander has set his sights on something higher, taking aim at the ten lies that have led our culture astray and put our faith, our families, and our freedom at risk. I am grateful for the direct, nonpolitically correct way my friend Phil Robertson lays out the truth. My prayer is that this book finds its way into the hands and hearts of many Americans."
--Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council and president of Council for National Policy
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Duck Dynasty star Robertson (Happy, Happy, Happy)argues in this spirited but limited polemic that America is embroiled in a state of incivility, chaos, and hate because it has turned its back on God. Robertson, who grew up in the church but veered into a wild life of drugs, drinking, and womanizing, returned to Christianity after his wife left him (they eventually reconciled). Each chapter sets forth a statement that Robertson claims is a lie ("God is dead"; "Sex is for self-gratification"), which he counters with passages from the Bible, as when he argues against the hypersexualization of society and holds up much of rural America as Christian and moral (as opposed to the media-controlled urban centers). He includes the occasional anecdote of him sharing his spiritual beliefs with others, including President Trump (who Robertson reports is a devout Christian), but most of the book is prescriptive, and reading it feels like being upbraided by a passionate preacher. The exhortations get tiresome, with Robertson's excessive use of religious rhetoric coming off as stale. His arguments also suffer from a simplistic dismissal of those who disagree with him as "left-wingers." This lack of nuance will turn off many readers, but Robertson's tone will undoubtedly appeal to those fans eager for his thoughts on the current state of America.
