Publisher's Description
See Jack worship; Pray, pray, pray! "Please make me holy, Lord, But not today." Could it be that God sometimes uses humor to teach us? Here are some raucous rhymes for reflection that will poke and prod at the propriety of our piety. We Americans often wave our Christian credentials around the world, while at the same time being naughty to our neighbors, mired in materialism, and jarringly juvenile. In the style of basal readers, this book takes a swipe at hypocrisy. More than a parody of "See Dick and Jane! Run Spot run!" it invites readers to increase their awareness of the values that make our world a troubled place to be. Read, readers, read! Read every letter. Deep down inside, we can be better!

“The ABCs of a Troubled Republic casts an unflinching gaze into the heart of crumbling Americana. From politics to finance, from self-interest to selfishness, from technology to healthcare, from the rootlessness of urban modernity to a heartfelt existential search, Gorzycki offers a bite-sized, searing manifesto that turns tokenism on its head and highlights much needed societal change. In an era characterized by the 140-character policy tweet, Meg Gorzycki is a shining beacon of subversive light.”
“The ABCs of a Troubled Republic provides a whimsical look at probing political scants, altruistic parenting tools, inquisitive ethical behaviors, and much more. Poetic justice is reported and illustrated in a method that is stimulating to one’s principles.”
