Readers who are aligned with the Christian far right will find kindred spirits in authors Tim LaHaye (coauthor of the "Left Behind" series) and David Noebel (Understanding the Times). The duo has assembled a fear-producing manifesto attacking just about every known minority group and liberal social cause. In the opening chapter, (ominously titled "It Could Happen..."), the authors offer an exaggerated vision of what the world could look like in 10 years if we still forbid Christianity to be taught in U.S. public schools, or if Americans continue to offer gays and lesbians equal rights, or dozens of other similar horrors. What is the root of this evil future scenario? "Secular Humanism," according to the authors. "Unfortunately, the mainline churches ... have eaten, swallowed and disgusted tons of humanistic dogma: evolution, socialism, Marxism, higher criticism of the Bible, moral relativism, amoral sex education, nontraditional families, liberation theology, process theology, gay theology, feminist theology, black theology, world government, and global citizenship to name a few." Some readers will be thrilled by this call to trek what the authors feel is the moral high ground, especially those who base their religious values upon intolerance of racial equity, homosexual love, and women's right to choose (even if that choice makes her a single parent in a "nontraditional family"). Others will most likely find this a disturbing and offensive contribution to the American landscape. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
New York Times best-selling author Tim LaHaye and author David Noebel give a wake-up call for Christians to fight the tide of popular beliefs and win the battle for your mind. Two basic sources of reasoning determine the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, values, aims, morals, lifestyles, and activities of mankind-the wisdom of man and the wisdom of God. According to Tim LaHaye and David Noebel, life is mainly about the battle for your mind: whether you will live by man's wisdom, from the likes of Marx, Darwin, Freud, and Nietzsche, or God's wisdom and those who gave it, such as Moses, the prophets, Christ, and the apostles. Your choice will affect the way you live now and ultimately where you will spend eternity.

 "Fighting the fine fight of the faith", at least in LaHaye's view December 2, 2006
1 out of 9 found this review helpful
LaHaye is a fundamentalist, and his beliefs seep through every page of this nonfiction book. He does make valid points about secular humanism (I was surprised to learn that it holds the same tax exempt status as do mainline Christian churches) and moral relativism in American culture. However, his valid points drown in a sea of seemingly mindless Christian rhetoric.
Mr. LaHaye, take note of how Jesus Christ preached to the masses. He did not make cheap emotional appeals or call for his followers to take political action. He used simple logic and reasoning when teaching his followers. You could do the same.

these reviews are funny. Looks like no middle ground, just a bunch of people wanting to prove they are right on either side with "yes, humanists are destroying our planet" and "no, LaHaye is a religious lunatic." I just finished the book. Yes, LaHay takes the issue to the extreme. He admits that the secular humanists are a very small part of society, but then says that they control everything. I think the enormous amount of research that went into this book gives it some validity, but not absolute authority. I think many valid concerns are addressed while many are also greatly exaggerated. I think the book is a great starting point on the issue, read it and take what you want from it. Every book of this nature is biased, thats kind of the point of trying to justify and confirm one side. Read the book and make your own decisions, there is always something to be learned, despite what the far right and the far left are littering the reviews with. If you are interested in the subject of Christianity and Secular Humanism, certainly pick this one up, and perhaps seek out other books from other sides of the discussion.
 What founding fathers are you referring to? February 5, 2006

The colonists? Or the non-christian Native Americans whose lands were stolen by Jesus worshippers who then founded this "great" nation?
 Excellent book January 15, 2006

It seems that the people who gave this book a negative review are anti-Christian or Humanist (many admittedly) and therefore have an existing world-view that distorts their thinking on this topic.
The issues raised by LaHaye are thought-provoking and should be a concern to every citizen.

THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT HUMANISTS ARE TRUE!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THE "IDEALS" THESE HUMANISTS EXPRESS?? FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, BROTHERLY LOVE, AND SECULARISM, IN AMERICA!!
