Synopsis

How can YOU help bring hope to our nation?

At a time when it seems that our nation is toppling over—morally, culturally, economically, and politically—you may be asking this question: Is there any hope for America?

Dr. Tony Evans says YES.

In America: Turning a Nation to God, Dr. Evans helps Christians understand that at the core, America's problems are spiritual. And, God and His rule are America's only hope. As His people, God is calling us to return to Him in humility and repentance, to submit to His rule and authority. Only as we commit to doing so, individually and collectively, will we realize that hope.

We hold within the collective body of Christ not only the power but also the capacity to put our country back on the path of ascendancy. This straight-forward teaching, when embraced by believers in our nation, will usher in the greatest revival in American history.

Review

This book proclaims a timely and urgent message for every believer and church in America: we must turn around, for the road we are following leads to destruction. Dr. Evans shows that the real solution is spiritual, not political. His passionate call for a solemn assembly leading to revival must be heeded—before it is too late. Absorb these penetrating words and pass them on to others.

—J. Paul Nyquist, president, Moody Bible Institute

Tony Evans has a gift with words, and in this book he offers much-needed admonition and encouragement to Christians who both love their country and who place their trust in a King and kingdom that are not of this world.

—Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family

It is hard to imagine anything more desperately needed in the American church than a revival of true religion. I earnestly hope that Tony Evans’ book will stir many to seek God with all their hearts. The Lord is our only hope!

—Richard Owen Roberts, International Awakening Ministries

Dr. Evans masterfully opens the Scriptures to show us that the cultural chaos around us is rooted in a deepening spiritual poverty—one that points God’s people back to a place of blessing and purpose.

—Frank Wright, president and chief operating officer, Salem Communications

These timely and poignant words from Evans will echo in the halls of church history. America: Turning a Nation to God shatters the idols that have hijacked our worship, even as God shakes the church to its foundations of prayer and fasting. May God awaken our hearts and revive our land.

—Wilfredo De Jesús, pastor, New Life Covenant Church, Chicago

When darkness covers a nation, God uncovers a voice. He unleashes an empowered message, through an anointed man, that supernaturally revives the church and awakens the lost. With every turn of the page, my heart turned to Christ and my eyes turned upward to the One who truly revives. If you want biblical hope that God could turn America right side up, this is where your journey begins.

—Byron Paulus, president, Life Action Ministries/founder, OneCry Movement

Tony Evans has assessed our condition as a nation, accurately diagnosed it, and is prescribing for us a biblical approach to returning to God. This is the need of the hour. Let's get this book into the hands of as many people as possible and simultaneously call out to God together for the next great move of God in our nation. 

—Dr. Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, senior pastor of Cross Church, and author of FORWARD: 7 Distinguishing Marks For Future Leaders

Tony Evans’ heartfelt plea for America to return to God with all her heart and declare a new “Declaration of Dependence on God.” Dr. Evans’ appeal gives the wisdom we need to live in a country where, despite having laws that legalize sin, we choose to obey God's truths. After all, it's not the law that makes a nation, it’s the hearts of the people who live in that nation. May we take heed to this message and return to Him as one nation under God.

—Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author of The Best Yes and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

Tony correctly understands that America’s greatest need is spiritual, not political or cultural.  He urges us to take God at His Word and seek His face in an age when the church is surrendering the ground given to her by God.  Read this book and let us believe God for the revival we need.

—Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor, The Moody Church
