The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies by Auron MacIntyre doesn’t offer easy answers, but it poses essential questions about the trajectory of our nation. MacIntyre examines the forces that have shaped our current reality, urging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the state of our democracy and individual freedom. It is a call to action, encouraging readers to understand the roots of our present predicament and contemplate the challenging path forward.
Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of leading with our faith. We’ve been called to point people toward the Kingdom of God, everywhere God places us, and our world desperately needs our voices. It will require courage to respond to God’s calling, so that we can become effective advocates for Him in our changing world.
