Overview

"A CLASSIC REVISITED." This faith-and-freedom classic, written by John Whitehead, helped inspire untold numbers of individuals to dedicate their lives to fighting for religious freedom. If there is still an entity known as "the Christian church" by the end of this century, operating with any semblance of liberty within our society here in the United States, it will probably have John Whitehead and his book to thank.
Francis SchaefferThe great strength of this book is the forcefulness of the author’s arguments. The reader will have little difficulty discovering precisely who is responsible for the current legal wasteland…Wayne Stayskal’s editorial cartoons, interspersed throughout, add pungency to an already lively text.
Fundamentalist JournalWhitehead, through diligent research, argues that the United States was founded on principles drawn from the Christian faith, and that without these principles, the governmental system makes no sense. He does not say that the government was ever intended to be a theocracy or that the founding fathers were all practicing Christians themselves.

About the Author, John W. Whitehead

Widely recognized as one of the nation s most vocal and involved civil liberties attorneys, John W. Whitehead s approach to civil liberties issues has earned him numerous accolades and accomplishments, including the Hungarian Medal of Freedom. Whitehead s concern for the persecuted and oppressed led him, in 1982, to establish The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization dedicated to the defense of constitutional and religious freedom. The author of numerous critically acclaimed books, Whitehead also wrote and directed Grasping for the Wind, a book and companion documentary series that traces humanity s search for meaning in the 20th century. The series was awarded two Silver World Medals at the New York Film and Video Festival.
