Synopsis

America has lost its way. And America will fall—unless . . .

Revolution? Oligarchy? Or homecoming? Americans are approaching a "zero hour" for the republic and its distinctive view of ordered freedom. America is caught between two revolutions and alternately suppresses and squanders freedom with a prodigal carelessness, with little understanding of the responsibilities that freedom requires.

Os Guinness warns that if America abandons its distinctive ideals and ideas, we will have carved into the chronicles of history yet another example of the failure of a free society. Like other crucial times in world history, the present crisis is a "civilizational moment" and also a pivot point that could lead to national renewal. Outlining seven key foundation stones of freedom, Guinness lays out a pathway for defining and ordering freedom, righting national wrongs, and passing freedom's baton from generation to generation.

Human freedom is precious and rare, and citizens who prize it must do what it takes to renew and sustain societies that are free for all of their members. America's window of opportunity is brief, and the alternative to renewal is bleak. The present moment must not be missed.

Goodreads review by Aaron

Another excellent book from Os Guinness. This one is extremely timely. Guinness defines freedom and the necessary conditions for freedom with more clarity than I have ever read. This book is worth multiple reads.......more

Goodreads review by Josiah

Os Guinness, though British, has lived in the USA since 1984. America, whether it accepts it or not, has been the world's gatekeeper for the past two-hundred years for all forms of attacks against freedom. As Os Guinness shows here, it has not only let it's guard down, it has ushered in the threats......more

I have recently completed this book. It serves as a warning not only to the United States, but to all remaining free countries across the globe. It is an exceptional book penned by an exceptional writer.......more

Goodreads review by Larry

Wise Counsel from Under the Vine and Fig Tree Os Guinness continues to call out from the wilderness, imploring Americans to wake up (and certainly not to become any more woke) to the ominous signs all around us. Building on such excellent earlier works as “Last Call for Liberty” and “The Magna Carta......more

Goodreads review by Michael

All good and historical information and philosophical thought about the need for America to choose freedom, but I felt he became too wordy and erudite in some of his points. I appreciate his heart for biblical truth and desire for our nation to live in freedom.......more
