"Be The People" by Carol M. Swain is a call to Americans to stand up and be counted and to help return our country to the former days of the foundation its founders envisioned when the Constitution and Rule of Law were adhered to. Dr. Swain does an excellent job in explaining how America is sliding at a rapid pace away from the values religious roots we once had. She lists many examples and explains how and why we are losing the country we once held dear.
She writes about several issues that are risky to tackle in the "politically correct" society we are living in, including racism, abortion, and immigration, to name a few. In tackling racism, she points out that whites, blacks, and Hispanics are all guilty of inspiring racial hatred and she reminds us that "Racism came from man, not God. It attests to the sinful heart of man."
Chapters include: Reshaping Our National Identity, America's Religious Roots, Family Matters, Immigration, the Rule of Law, and National Sovereignty, Moving Beyond Race and Racism, etc.
In the back of the book are copious notes and she also includes "The Ten Commandments", "The Constitution Of The United States", "The Delaration Of Independence", and "The Bill Of Rights".
I found her book very interesting and in the way she writes, she demonstrates that she knows what she is talking about. I came away from the book with a real admiration for her and what she says. In reading her book, I learned things I did not know. I highly recommend "Be The people". Every American should read it.
I received this book free from Booksneeze, a book review program and all I was asked to do in return is write an honest review of the book. The words are my own.
