Book Synopsis
The greatest threat to any world power or dominant civilization is not external, it is internal. Some of the most advanced nations were conquered not through a superior military force but through a gradual but steady erosion of the core values and beliefs that made those nations great. They have become unwitting victims of their own success.
Every individual, every structure, every nation must be built on a firm foundation. If a building is built on loose shifting soil it will not stand the test of time. Water and wind will undermine the structure and it will, in time, certainly fall. We as individuals must be firmly rooted in a moral and spiritual foundation if we are to withstand the challenges that we will surely face in life. Nations too must have that same moral and spiritual foundation if they are to withstand the external and internal challenges they will encounter.
There are certain key markers or qualities that define individuals and nations. There is a feeling by many citizens that all is not well in our nation. That knowingly or unknowingly we have embarked on a road of decline. The very values and qualities that have defined our nation are under attack by the enemy within. This is not a book about statistics or the quotes of resident experts. This is a book that takes an introspective look at where we were and where we are and the dangers we face.
