The Baby Boom Prophet

Book excerpt: A memoir, an analysis, a warning, or all three in one? From the Cold War to the War on Terror, author B. J. Winley examines America's cultural and political structures in light of the monumental global changes occurring in the new millennium. This thought-provoking treatise takes you on a unique voyage through the annals of time from the perspective of an African American sinner-turned-saint as he seeks to understand and explain both his and his country's evolution. The baby boom generation has emerged divided through these critical times. Controversy and contention have weakened our moral resolve, and our collective spiritual development remains retarded. Will our nation tear itself apart in disagreement over abortion, immigration, and questions of national security? What about our stance on the death penalty or references to God in the public domain? The Baby Boom Prophet: Addressing Our Conflicted Generation challenges America's apathy and its divisiveness, pointing out the perils to our survival not only from diabolical elements outside our borders, but from the insidious distrust engendered within them. The door to restoration and healing lies open to our nation-but will America heed God's call to repentance?
