Publisher's Description
Forces are rapidly reshaping America's morals, social policies, and culture—but how do we stop it? Learn how to make your voice heard and reclaim America’s faith and values by reshaping our country’s current trajectory. Cultural elites in the media, academia, and politics are daily deceiving millions of Americans into passively supporting policies that are harmful to the nation and their own best interest. Although some Americans can see through the smokescreen, they feel powerless to stop the forces inside and outside government that radically threaten their values and principles. Drawing on her training in political science and law, Dr. Swain thoughtfully examines the religious significance of the founding of our nation and the deceptions that have crept into our daily lives and now threaten traditional families, unborn children, and members of various racial and ethnic groups—as well as national sovereignty itself. Dr. Swain provides encouraging action items for the people of our country to make the political system more responsive. The book is divided into two sections: forsaking what we once knew and re-embracing truth and justice in policy choices. Be the People covers key topics including: The damage caused political correctness and its censoring of traditional Christian expression of thought America's shift to moral relativism and its religious roots Erosion of rule of law, national security, and immigration Abortion's fragile facade and the true toll it takes Racial and ethnic challenges How we can reclaim the future In Be the People, Carol takes a candid look at the problems our country faces but that we’re often uncomfortable speaking honestly about, providing hope and actionable solutions to change the direction of America while we still can. “Be the People is a courageous analysis of today’s most pressing issues, exposing the deceptions by the cultural elite and urging ‘We the People’ to restore America’s faith and values.” — Sean Hannity

“Be the People is a courageous analysis of today’s most pressing issues, exposing the deceptions by the cultural elite and urging ‘We the People’ to restore America’s faith and values.”
“Dr. Swain’s Be the People is an excellent piece of work—a thorough and honest examination of how politics and America’s history intertwine in the real world. Dr. Swain explores many public policy topics. I strongly recommend her chapter on immigration policy and politics; she provides a thoughtful examination of a complex topic that often generates strong feelings.”
“In Be the People Professor Carol Swain thoughtfully examines the biblical roots and religious significance of today’s most pressing issues. Professor Swain shows how to make your voice heard and how to reclaim America’s faith and values.”
“There are many good books but only a few really important ones. Dr. Carol Swain’s Be the People is one of the latter. Brave, informed, candid, and thoughtful, she brings her fine academic mind to bear on the most pressing needs facing our country. She calls on ‘We the People’ to be the people our nation’s founders envisioned, a people united around a common set of moral convictions who have the courage to live them out. Dr. Swain proves that Christian faith and deep patriotism are alive and well and offers a recipe of hope for America’s future.”
“In Be the People Dr. Swain offers a vigorous defense of the founding values so many of us hold dear. She exposes the insidious misperceptions, even lies that elites in this country have perpetuated to justify the growth of government and the dilution of our core values. Professor Swain’s inspirational book is important for Americans who hope and pray for a better nation.”
“Carol Swain is simply a truth teller. She makes no apologies for her conservative, pro-American stances. Be the People will illuminate you to the real truth about the social, fiscal, and godless nosedive our country is experiencing right now. This book will challenge you to stand up and do something about it. God bless Dr. Swain!”
“A courageous, challenging, and controversial call to Americans of all colors to return to their Creator and to come to their Judeo-Christian senses.”
“I applaud Carol’s labor. Everyone should read this work, immediately commit to the action points at the end of each chapter, and recommend this book to someone else. Be a nation-changer! Together, we can reclaim both America’s faith and the vision our forefathers carried as they established this great nation.”
Bishop. Harry R. Jackson
“In Be the People Carol Swain unflinchingly takes on the cultural elites that disdain America’s religious and political traditions. I don’t always agree with her, but I am grateful for her voice in the debate.”
“If you desire to be further empowered in taking a meaningful and right stand concerning issues that will shape our future freedoms and the release of God’s blessings, if you want a solid resource to aid and enlighten your political position while supporting your beliefs, read Be the People. “Ignorance is not bliss: clearly we must stand united for America with a clear and informed voice at such a time as this.”
“This dynamic and insightful book is a must read for every American as Dr. Swain pulls back the veil and powerfully reveals the truth about those who are actively engaged in the attempt to destroy our nation from within.”
Dr. Richard Lee
“Carol Swain has written one of the best apologetics for the conservative Christian worldview that I’ve ever come across. Everyone concerned about the direction this country seems to be going in of late should read this excellent call to action.”
“In Be the People Carol Swain does a masterful job of describing the plight of America in 2011. While making no attempt to sugar-coat the reality of the problems we face as a nation, Dr. Swain nonetheless offers practical and time-tested ideas for public policy initiatives that will bring back the blessing of God to America. “But beyond the insightful analysis of where we are as a nation and the steps to find healing, there is the incredible human story of how, through God, Carol overcame impossible odds to become the accomplished woman she is today. I am left with a sense of awe about the power of Christ to transform a life and then use that life to touch others.”
“Be the People is a courageous, carefully researched, comprehensive, insightful, and timely gift to the American people. Dr. Carol Swain . . . writes with the sober conviction of one who well understands the risks of speaking up but who has also measured them as carrying far less weight than the risk of silence or compromise. God bless her.”
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
