Chad Connelly (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2002

The Tide of the Future is a Freedom Tide!

The signs are all around us: violent crime is up. Teen pregnancy is rising dramatically. Test scores are down. Cradle-to-the-grave social services are taking the place of personal responsibility. And all the while, our freedoms are eroding.

Now is the time to take a stand!

Filled with little-known facts about our nation’s history, "Freedom Tide" sheds a hard light on where we are and how we got here, pointing out when and where we turned our backs on the solid values that once formed the bedrock of American society.

Now you can make a difference!

Most importantly, "Freedom Tide" is a call to action; a challenge to blaze a trail that will return our country to its founding principles before it’s too late!

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful wake up call to all Freedom Fighters, August 8, 2002

By 

Cliff Canipe (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freedom Tide: Now You Can Make a Difference! (Paperback)

In this short yet powerful book, Mr. Connelly offers a much needed wake up call to all who value their freedom and the free enterprise system they enjoy in the United States. By combining the ideals of the founding fathers of our country with practical insights, the author makes a very compelling and sobering presentation of where we have been, where we are and where we are going as a nation. While showing that the foundational thought behind the ideals of the fathers of our nation were Christian throughout, Mr. Connelly brings a very non-religious view concerning our heritage and how it has been lost through the subtleties of liberalism and relativism of the last decades. To the author, what is most important is that we regain the initial ideals of free enterprise that shaped the destiny of our country and root out those forces that would seek to destroy the very fiber of what make America great. If you value your freedoms and understand the vital necessity of maintaining such freedoms you will want to read this book and pass it on to as many friends as possible. The author shows in a most compelling and concise way that the time is now for the Freedom Tide to roll across this great country and regain the ground that has been lost through the years. Now you can truly make a difference! This is a much needed contribution and one you will not want to miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READING FOR EVERY AMERICAN, November 18, 2002

This review is from: Freedom Tide: Now You Can Make a Difference! (Paperback)

While this book is definitely easy to read, It packs a real punch! This book should be required reading for anyone that steps into a voting booth. If this you were not allowed to step into a voting booth until you have read it, our country would be a very different country as of the result of what people could learn from this book!

Chad Connelly has distilled into 75 pages, a clear, concise, and powerful education on not only how the political system of country was founded and how it works, but more importantly he has shown every voting American how and why he or she must be involved in our governmental process!

This book, "Freedom Tide" should be a part of every history course in America! Chad Connelly has put the true history of how our country was founded back into print. It is apparent from the 60 references in the Bibliography, that the author has done his homework. This is not just a book that expresses the author's opinion, but rather it is a book that exposes the truth about what our founding fathers believed and the principles upon which our country was built with the blood, sweat, and tears. I believe so much in the message of this book that I am giving it to every history teacher that I personally know!

One would think that that was more than could be expected from a book of 75 pages, but Chad Connelly does not stop with just the history of how our country was founded, but he also details how our choices at the voting booth affects how our businesses function and how if we do not become responsible as individual Americans, how our business will ultimately be driven into non-existence if we do not elect leaders that truly understand what business is all about and how it works! Every person that is involved in a working career should read this book. It does not matter if that person is a laborer or president of the company. It affects every working person in America!
