5.0 out of 5 stars
Do you even care?, June 8, 2005
This review is from: Battle Cry for a Generation: The Fight to Save America's Youth (Hardcover)
Being a part of Ron Luce's Honor Academy, I've had the privelege of hearing from him firsthand his heart for this generation, and his heart behind this book. I don't know many other books out there that are ENDORSED so widely by DENOMINTAIONAL LEADERS, SENATORS, GRAMMY AWARD WINNERS, and many other big names: Joyce Meyers, John Maxwell, Josh McDowell, Willie George, Ted Haggard, Jack Hayford, Kay Arthur, SEAN HANNITY, SENATOR Rick Santourm, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Kirk Franklin- among others.
Here are a few REAL quotes from the book:
...1/3 of high school students have been drunk in the past month
...1 in 4 us illegal drugs
...8,000 contract an STD EVERY DAY!
...1 MILLION are pregnant
...750,000 get abortions each year (that's 3/4 of teen pregnancies)
...1 in 10 have been raped
...9 out of 10 have seen porn online (and the average age to first see it is 11)
...50% of them are no longer virgins
...1 in 5 have attempted suicide...
[these quotes come from such sources as Barna and other highly acclaimed resources]
Do you see the need? Do you see the pain? Well, I do. And Ron Luce did, and it's about time someone is stepping up to the plate to make these things known. The issue is this: this battle needs warriors. Are you willing to step it up and fight the battle against this generation? Christian or not, I'm sure you are concerned with the wellbeing of this nation- and I guarantee you that MY generation is going to directly affect this generation... we ARE the FUTURE generation...
If you want to join this army, or are a concerned parent, student, teacher, pastor, or AMERICAN- you NEED to read this book.
I would also encourage you to check out the battlecry website at www.battlecry.com
You can read exerpts from the book there, and validate all of those endoresments that I just listed...
There's a battle raging- are you ready to fight? Sound the BATTLECRY!!!

This Generation is depending on us., August 12, 2005
This review is from: Battle Cry for a Generation: The Fight to Save America's Youth (Hardcover)
I don't usually read. On my list of things I like to do, reading is right above root canal. However, I read this entire book in about 1 day. The statistics were that rivetting. PLEASE read this book. As I read it, I saw some of what he was talking about in my own life during my teenage years, and even into my adult years. Please read this book and then give it to your youth pastor.
