I've been teaching thru this book, and the video series. My class has responded to this series better than any other. I've read most of Dr. Bright's books and materials. Other than Witnessing Without Fear, I think this may be his most important work ever. Definately worth the time.

This one really makes it clear how for down the tube we have traveled since the founding fathers fought for religeous freedom for the U.S. It is so obvious how much our forefathers depended on God in the forming of this country. They established our form of government specifically to keep government from interfering with our religeous rights. The U.S. was established as a Christian nation and now has strayed away. Thanks to Bill Bright for all the documentation on this subject.

I am a Christian who has interned with Campus Crusade for Christ in the past, and I am deeply grateful and blessed for Bill Bright's lifetime of ministry. However, after reading this book and thinking about the implications of its message for a while, I believe it is not a step in the right direction, and promotes a confused message. The idea that Founding Fathers of this country ushered in a humble empire of Christendom is distortedly exaggerated and romanticized and the prerogative of freedom of religion is promoted in partiality. What everybody needs, American or otherwise, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and not for more confused people to think that a good American is a good Christian is a good American. Only the living Gospel can change lives. We Americans should not presume to be the second Israel, and, reaching further back into history, remember that we are by no means the first country/empire to make that presumption. Our citizenship is in heaven, not to be confused with... America. There is no such thing as a Christian government, and no such thing as a Christian nation as sanctioned in Scripture. We are the Church - much greater - but evidently much confused.

This book is both thought provoking and challenging. I realized that time may be short for our nation unless each of us is willing to sacrifice to uphold righteousness. Every American should read this book.

Bill Bright and John Damoose have documented the actual heritage of America (as opposed to the revisionist historians' secular heritage) and how it is being is being abandoned. The authors document the discovery of the New World, founding of the colonies, and how the nation was conceived and birthed as a Christian nation. More than mere commentary, Bright and Damoose provide the facts to back up their arguments. This book is a wonderful companion to Catherine Millard's "The Rewriting of America's History." Both are required reading for anyone interested in the truth about America's origins.

Red Sky in The Morning is a very sad, but well writen, very smooth book. It is for those of us who sit down in a corner and treat every word in a book like our child, because that is how this book must be written. Very good, and deeply recomended.
