LONGWOOD, FL-America, once a beacon of light, has become a land of confusion as a result of losing the biblical vision that once made her great. Nothing but the church can save America from the crash course she is on. Caught between the twin gates of moralism and secularization, this nation is headed for disaster-but is she up to the task of saving herself? All signs point to no. Steve Deace's book Without a Vision the People Perish (paperback, 978-1-60266-642-9) is an open letter to the leadership of the church in America from a talk show host who speaks to thousands of Christians every day. The book warns them of what will happen to this nation if we donŐt return to boldly proclaiming the balance of grace and truth found only in God's Word.
"I've interviewed presidential candidates, senators, congressmen, business leaders, best-selling authors, scholars, and the average person in the pew," says Deace. "All of them seem stymied as to why America appears rudderless. Well, how can you cure the disease if you don't have the proper diagnosis? This book is the diagnosis that has been missing."
No stranger to airing provocative opinions, backing them up with data, and holding them up to scrutiny, Deace hosts an afternoon program in Des Moines where he interviews major newsmakers, ministries, and groups. His experiences there have equipped him to tackle the issue of America's deteriorating moral fiber because "I take the same approach when dealing with the church in this book."
