Synopsis

A warning and a wake-up call to learn history so we are not doomed to repeat it. A must-read for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.What is wrong with America today? Is it possible that America could crumble and our democracy fail?Questions like these plague Americans and cause us to be anxious about the future of the "land that we love." Individuals may come to different conclusions, but there seems to be a common thread - the deep-seated feeling that we need to improve our country. Our culture is increasingly immoral, the family structure is threatened from all sides, and government programs consistently overreach, creating massive debt.In this powerful and prophetic audiobook, nationally syndicated columnist and trusted political commentator Cal Thomas offers a diagnosis of what exactly is wrong with the United States by drawing parallels to once-great empires and nations that declined into oblivion. Citing the historically proven 250-year pattern of how superpowers rise and fall, he predicts that America's expiration date is just around the corner and shows us how to escape their fate.Through biblical insights and hard-hitting truth, he reminds us that real change comes when America looks to God instead of Washington. Scripture, rather than politics, is the GPS he uses to point listeners to the right road - a road of hope, life, and change. Because, he says, if we're willing to seek God first, learn from history, and make changes at the individual and community level, we can not only survive, but thrive, again.This powerful, timely, and much-needed perspective is a must-listen for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.

Goodreads review by Clay on October 23, 2020

The author left out the Japanese, Chinese and Mongol empires. The 250 year lifespan of empires is not a hard and fast rule. There were not many examples of America's age of pioneers and arts given. Learned about this book from the Rush Limbaugh talk radio program.......more

Goodreads review by Ruth on May 19, 2021

Five years. That’s all America has left. No, Cal Thomas isn’t a self-proclaimed prophet who’s interpreted the signs and concluded that we’re going to experience some cataclysmic apocalypse in 2026. Rather, 250 years is the average length of time of the rise and fall of superpowers and empires, accordi......more

Goodreads review by Ronald on October 11, 2020

Cal Thomas is worried: “The nation that I love is in danger of losing its greatness.” He gives us a thought experiment: “Just for fun, let’s say you have received advance knowledge from a reliable source that on July 4, 2026, the world will end.” He cites Sir John Glubb, a World War I veteran, caree......more

The downfall of America will be because we just are not good Christians? That's about all I got from this read. I agree we need more spirituality as a nation. But more dogma and religiousity?......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on June 30, 2020

It was ok. I kinda liked brushing up on the decline of the major empires that sets the reason why he thinks America is on the decline. A little pessimistic even though it was published in 2020 it's kinda outdated because it was before COVID and BLM riots.......more
