It is the conviction of the author that the roots of our history and culture lie deep in the text of the Bible, the only book the Pilgrims and Puritans brought with them to the new land. The book contains an examination of the twists and turns that account for the kind of country we are today. Of particular interest is the chapter on education, "Why Johnny Can't Read." There is a reason for the widespread illiteracy among the population and it is critical that we understand its moral, spiritual, and intellectual implications. The hope of the nation lies in a moral and spiritual resurgence. Such an awakening has occurred before and could happen again.
