Book Review: The Coming Revolution


A lovely new addition to my book shelf courtesy of BookSneeze! 
The Coming Revolution: Signs from America's Past That Signal Our Nation's Future by Dr. Richard Lee is an inspirational work of non-fiction. Dr. Lee speaks about patriotism and taking the country's fate and future into our own hands. He speaks from a conservative viewpoint, which might make this a little controversial towards those on the other end of the political spectrum. The Coming Revolution is well researched and detailed, exploring America's original Revolution and delving further into how it applies to today's issues. As a Canadian, this was a fascinating read to learn a little more about the history of our southern neighbors! :) 


We are living in a time of monumental change.
Countless numbers of ordinary people, men and women from all walks of life, are joining forces to challenge the direction our national leaders are now taking us. Washington’s idea of change has failed, and most Americans are now frustrated, disappointed, and angry. The result is a long list of offenses, both perceived and real, that can easily set off a chain reaction that quickly becomes irreversible. And in the right environment, the situation can be explosive.
It is easy to see that many of the identical social and religious provocations that spurred the colonists toward the First American Revolution are present today, inspiring a new generation to seek what the Founders called “a new birth of freedom.” Signs are pointing to the fact that we are now standing on the threshold of a new American revolution, not with muskets and cannon balls this time but a revolution conscience, morality, and honor, dedicated to responsible social, moral, and political reforms, demanding change from the socialistic direction our political, judicial, and intellectual leaders have been taking us.
The Coming Revolution draws from the wellspring of America’s powerful past to reveal a nation of people who, under the hand of Divine Providence, will once again fight and win the coming battle for personal and national freedom.

Overall, some people might find Dr. Lee's writing to be a little biased. He has a very strong standpoint of where America should be heading, and as always, many readers will agree or disagree. However, by keeping an open mind, this is a very informative book on an important piece of America's history.
