America is fast becoming a second-rate nation, evidenced by the slippery slope we are sliding down at warp speed. "Johnny still can't read," and internationals are beating us to more and more of the good jobs. We are up to our double-chins in hock to other countries. Morally and spiritually we are in a boat with a dead motor, drifting dangerously close to the upper end of Niagara Falls. The Late Great America is a wakeup call alerting the reader to the very real dangers we are facing as a nation. It reminds us that we are accountable to the One who has given us countless blessings, which we can no longer take for granted. The book suggests things we can do to help reverse this precipitous decline and reclaim hope for our country. But to realize that hope we can't continue to dawdle; we have to act now.
