How to Save the West

That caught me as I scrolled the library catalog. Spencer Klavan’s How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises was a book I ordered on impulse, which turned out to be a jewel. To be fair, I had subscribed to his Substack previously, so I knew his name, and I had also enjoyed his father Andrew Klavan’s Young Adult books very much. If We Survive, and The Homelander series are cases in point.But How to Save the West brought together the rumors, fears, and facts plaguing our society, and more than that – what we can do about it. It gave me a clear picture of how people in history faced the same issues (philosophers I should have read – I plan to remedy that,) and Spencer Klavan brings to bear what God says about our culture ills toward the end. At first I wasn’t sure what point the author was after, as he played Devil’s advocate at times. But he brought the truth together superbly well in a book it does not take more than a day to read. I took two days, as I wanted to re-read some and digest it. I bought my own so I can read it again and make notes. I was curbing my itching fingers and my recurrent urge to mark the book!In a nutshell it was truthful, clear, concise, enlightening, and very encouraging. It is so worth reading. You can get your book How to Save the West here if you are interested. It’s already got over 200 reviews, and it’s only $16.42 for a hardcover.On a side note, as an author I need to study these things because reality and how I deal with it, the things I believe and put into action, deeply affect what I write. Will my stories portray despair or hope, truth or a muddled picture of reality through my characters’ thoughts and actions?
This book gave me clarity, determination, and great ideas to work with. I pray it does the same for you. 


Happy reading and have a great day,
