Our American Awakening
The Twentieth Century was widely known the “American Century.” The United States of America led the world economically, militarily, and even morally. Her families and communities were strong, her currency was sound, and her military was second to none.
But as the new century opens, America staggers from one crisis to another and her leaders squabble rather than lead. Her enemies openly mock her around the world and brazenly attack her vital interests. At home, her citizens are divided against one another more than they have been in generations. The culture war rages and every passing election only draws more vitriol and animosity from either side.
As America’s problems continue to worsen, history has shown that America will not be saved by her elected officials. If America is to be healed and restored, her restoration must begin somewhere much more foundational – it must begin with her people. But too many Americans don’t even know what it means to even be an American any more, and few can even articulate why the United States was founded in the first place.
Americans need to relearn what made our country great, even when the Republic was only a few years old. Americans need to know what it means to be American once again. America will not be healed from the Oval Office or the halls of the Capitol, but around our kitchen tables, by our communities, and from our churches. But where do we start?
Why is the American Experiment failing today, and what must be done to restore our great nation?

About the author
Chris Hambleton
44 books41 followersI began my first book titled "Project Exodus" in the fall of 1992 when I started college. This was before the days of Print On Demand publishing (POD) and the book ended up being shelved when my engineering coursework became more difficult.
Fast-forward to 2005, when I had taken up an interest in studying the Antediluvian Age and the Ice Age that followed. I looked around for a book that accurately portrayed it, and since the few I found (at the time) weren't what I was looking for, I decided to go off and write my own. A few outlines later, I found that I had come up a framework from which many books could be written.
Meanwhile, the situation in the Middle East began to heat up with the Iraq War, and the subsequent nuclear race of Iran. I felt led to write another book detailing the roles of these nations (among others) according to my views and interpretations of the Bible. And thus "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" was born.
While that book was going through the publishing process, I went back and re-visited "Project Exodus" and ended up re-writing most of it, keeping only the rough plot and a handful of scenes. This was later renamed "Endeavor in Time" and happened to be published a week or so before the first book was released.
In the spring of 2010, I was able to go on a study tour in Israel which had a deep impact on my understanding of the land and the Jewish people. Soon after I returned to the States, I began researching Israel's history again and decided to rewrite "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" into a trilogy, which has been released in 2011.
I'm also the creator and owner of the EzekielWatch.com website, which tracks the latest news and developments in the Middle East, along with a comprehensive study of the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy and dozens of news links to the nations involved in the future invasion of Israel.

If common sense has really become a superpower, then Chris Hambleton is Superman. This book is really three books in one. First, its a American History Book, and one that should be used in every classroom across our country. Second, its a warning for America about the road we are currently traveling at the speed of light, and lastly, its an instruction manual for repairing the damage done to our country by the Progressives and Liberals we've voted into office.
Often frightening, and sometimes encouraging, the advice and lessons are easy to understand and logical.
I plan to re-read this book often, and I will put it into practice.

I cannot agree with the basic assumptions of the author, i.e., insisting that one way of life is mutually exclusive from other ways of life. The world is a better place when we recognized differences and respect them. I did not find much respect in this book. Sorry.
