My American Heritage: Our Nation Under Attack from Within
by Peter SnyderPublish: Feb 20, 2023Biographies & MemoirsBook Overview
EXPLORE THE FALTERINGAND REVIVAL OF AMERICA
Cruise with me on my old Harley. Soar with me on hang-gliders high above mountains from New England to the Cumberland Plateau. Feel the wind in our sails on inland lakes from Lake Erie to the Northern Gulf Coast. Witness this journey through our American landscape and gain a deeper understanding of forces driving our personal and national destinies.
The carefree days of youth have flown, and we cannot ignore the reality of controversial issues like civil rights, justice, war, and “free love.” Timeless values are challenged more now than yesterday. Our country is in a continuous adolescent, defiant, morally bankrupt decline.
But there is hope!
We are in a war, not with lead bullets, but with deceit, anger, chaos, shame, and blame. We do not have the peace and unity our nation had just a few decades ago. How do we meet these challenges?
Sooner or later, we all come to the realization that we cannot continue on our present path. This truth is what each man and woman must understand or ultimately forfeit everything. As much as each of us would like to think we are our own masters, we are not. If we all continue to live by our own rules, we face certain ruin when we could otherwise gain redemption and regeneration. Experience, as well as the renewing of my mind has led me to this conclusion.
This memoir depicts a journey from childhood to maturity in our country’s North and South, a personal discovery of cultural tensions deepened by family ties, research, and exploration.
Reflections on war play a large part, from the Civil War to WWII and Vietnam.
It is a story about family, faith, flying, fighting, and staying afloat.
It is a tale of hopes and dreams, uncertain heights, surprise wrecks, life and death, heart-wrenching stresses, amazing discoveries, popular and unpopular values, all mixed with grace and mercy.
Read about the revival in my own life, marriage, and family, and discover how this applies as well to the church, our country and beyond.
Get this book, be entertained, laugh and weep, and discover how to make a difference.
