Synopsis

America faces a great crisis: the Book that has played an integral role in developing and forming our great nation is now the same Book that few read and even fewer understand.

Taking Back the Good Book explores how America has developed an apathetic-sometimes hostile-attitude toward biblical principles. To counter this troubling attitude, Kroll offers practical suggestions to help Christians develop a personal strategy to fuel their passion for and understanding of God's Word. This, in turn, will energize America's Christians to impact their nation-and the world-for Christ.

—George Gallup Jr., Founder, The George H. Gallup International Institute

"Biblical illiteracy is a scandal in the church. It is high time we remedy this embarrassment and teach the Bible. I commend Dr. Kroll for raising the alarm about the lack of biblical literacy in our homes and churches."
—R. Albert Mohler Jr., President and Joseph Emerson Brown Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"There surely is, as Amos said, a famine in our land for hearing the words of the Lord. This book is a clarion and much-needed call to combat the Bible illiteracy of our day. Dr. Kroll issues a challenge that hopefully will result in a movement to turn that famine back into a feast."
—Charles Ryrie, Editor, The Ryrie Study Bible

"More than a declaration of war, this book is a battle plan for all who want to make the Bible central in their lives, their churches, and our great nation."
—Warren W. Wiersbe, Retired General Director, Back to the Bible

"Taking Back the Good Book offers an alarming analysis that will alert every Bible-believing Christian as to how we can get well. The recovery may be long, but the rehab will be worth it."
