Turnaround: America's Revival By Senator James Lankford

TURNAROUND: AMERICA'S REVIVAL

By SENATOR JAMES LANKFORD

 "To turn around our country we are tempted to spend our energy fighting darkness, but you can’t turn down darkness, you can only turn up light. In a dark room, you look for the light switch, not the dark switch. For some reason, that simple truth seems to escape us when we think about people and problems. If you want less darkness, turn up more light." --Senator James Lankford

Americans live in the greatest representative republic in the history of the planet which is defined each day by "We the People." Every day the nation is US.

When we look in our national mirror, if we don’t like what we see, we should do what it takes to improve our reflection.

Senator James Lankford's new book, TURNAROUND: America's Revival is a journey book, filled with ancient truths, our modern division, personal faith, true stories, a case study on immigration politics, and a lesson about the bees that will kill you.

The pages are a celebration of our freedom and a challenge to reconnect to our faith and do something significant with our lives. The stories are deeply personal and practical.

TURNAROUND challenges us to step up and do something when we see the nation is drifting. We should not just allow cultural gravity to win. Each of us get the choice every day to do the right thing, the right way.

Let's pray and get to work on our national turnaround. 

"A powerful challenge to pay more attention to who we are, rather than just what we do. James’ practical leadership ideas will encourage you to live your faith and find impactful ways to serve our community and our great nation. Every chapter is packed with history, humor, and inspiration to be part of our national turnaround."

--Fmr. SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO 

"The best sermons are seen, not just heard. Senator James Lankford lives his faith with humility, grace, collegiality, and authenticity. In this book he adroitly puts his finger precisely on the key to change and revival in our country. The key is US. This book is both a challenge and a chance for us to reflect and act."

--Fmr. CONGRESSMAN TREY GOWDY

Antisemitism: History and Myth

Why the Ancient Evil of Antisemitism Has Returned and How to Counter It

By Robert Spencer

"Had we listened to Robert Spencer and taken heed twenty years ago or even ten years ago, the impact of the Islamists driven antisemitism would not have caught us by surprise. We would have had in place an institutional effort to counter it. Here is another opportunity to pay attention to his important work. Read this book!" –Ayaan Hirsi Ali

The Hamas attack upon Israel on October 7, 2023, was one of the most inhuman jihad attacks ever and reminiscent of the darkest days of National Socialist Germany. The attackers gloried in their savagery and vied to outdo one another in cruelty. Yet despite - or perhaps because of - its brutality, that attack unleashed expressions of hatred for Jews that shocked those who assumed such hate was a thing of the past. Bestselling author Robert Spencer has written perhaps the most important book on the return of an ancient evil - antisemitism - and how it came to be: Antisemitism: History and Myth.

After October 7, global public opinion turned sharply against Israel. One campus protester carried a sign calling for a "Final Solution." Another published a video saying, "Be glad - be grateful - that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists." Synagogues all over the U.S. received bomb threats. Jews in Europe and the U.S. were attacked. October 7 also led to a large-scale reappearance of claims about the Jews' secret power and malevolence. Claims that Jews are enemies of all that is good have become mainstream as they have not been since Hitler put a bullet in his brain.

In Robert Spencer's book, Antisemitism: History & Myth, you'll learn that:

·    Antisemitism historically comes from four sources: Christianity, Islam, National Socialism (Nazism) and International Socialism (Communism). All four are increasing today.

·    The root cause of antisemitism is the refusal of Jews to assimilate and melt into the larger community. Many of those larger communities then demonize them as the outsider that is to blame for all evils.

·    Today's antisemites claim simply to be foes of Israel, but it's clear that there is nothing Israel could ever do that they would support.

·    Antisemitism today, in its claim that the Jews are running things secretly and with malevolent intent, is a massive deflection and distraction from the genuine threat of Islamic jihad and other real threats.

·    Antisemitism leads to genocide. This doesn't mean that Jews and Israel should be above criticism, but that the wild claims must be confronted and fought, as they lead to genuine destruction.

The record needs to be set straight for anyone who is willing to see the truth. Historian Robert Spencer does just that in Antisemitism: History & Myth. He reveals the sources of today's Jew-hatred in pre-Christian paganism, Christianity, Islam, and national and international socialism, and rebuts the most common claims against Jews.

Hatred of Jews is a persistent and recurring social contagion that is now cresting again, after people of goodwill around the world thought that it had been definitely laid to rest in the ashes of National Socialist Germany in 1945. The resurgence of antisemitism should worry everyone, Jewish and non-Jewish, who is concerned about the recurrence of one of the darkest chapters in human history. The world today is on the brink of returning to such barbarism. Antisemitism: History & Myth is an attempt to keep that from happening.
