“I want to see America free again! So, what do I do?” This is an often asked but rarely answered question, that is, until now… The answers to that question are in this book. Restoring America One County at a Time is an action manual for anyone concerned about liberty. But it’s much more than just an action manual. It boldly represents the type of iconoclastic history lessons, biblical studies, moral challenges, unpopular truths and reformational remedies a restored Christian republic will require. This is a training manual designed to empower your whole education and worldview. And it’s for the serious only. It will not do to content ourselves with lip service to patriotism, faith and freedom. We must have real, substantial plans and real, practical action items. These must be clear and they must be broad, addressing every single area of life.

The result of Restoring America One County at a Time is an inspiring and practical vision of America based upon the Bible, covering ten major areas of life: Education, Welfare, Local Government, State Government, Taxation, Money and Banking, Free Markets, Courts, War and the Military, Executive Power. Unless we invest the time and sweat to get these things back, we have no one to blame for society’s erosion but ourselves. And of course, all the books in the world won’t help you restore America, especially when they don’t tell you what you can actually do, and do now! Every four years, Americans line up at their local polling places to cast their ballots for President. Most of them believe this is the most important vote they make — the very essence of their voice in American politics. Yet, while they haggle over which party’s middle man will sit in the White House, the civil government continues its unimpeded invasion into the personal lives of every citizen. Most Americans are unwittingly expanding the State’s power simply by believing that real change can be effected at only the national level.

Joel McDurmon’s Restoring America One County at a Time shatters this misconception, exploring the destructive path government centralization has taken in ten crucial areas of American life including education, welfare, and taxes. He also provides concrete advice on how families and individuals can reverse the national trends that threaten the life, liberty, and property of every American. National change need not happen at the national level. In fact, McDurmon’s well-researched analysis of American history establishes that real change cannot happen through coercive centralized controls, no matter how good one’s intentions may be. Radical change at the national level must flow naturally from a careful return to biblical prescriptions at the local level. If you’re tired of the right-wing, left-wing party see-saw that never seems to make any difference… If you’re tired of the talk radio griping that never really offers any solutions… If you want to work for significant change now, find out how in this incisive book. And if you’re not ready to make a change, find out why you should be! This is a production of Reconstructionist Radio.

Joel McDurmon discusses the role of Christian Worldview, politics, theology, and how to restore our American Republic.
