Terrorism, floods, droughts, disasters. Just a coincidence? Tough luck? America seems to have suddenly fallen on hard times. Beset on all sides by both natural and unnatural disasters -- from recurring floods and devastating earthquakes to terrorists at home and economic woes abroad -- it seems that whatever could go wrong has gone wrong. The question is why? According to Randall A. Terry all these woes are not just bad luck or ominous coincidences. Instead he says, we are witnessing the chastening of a spoiled and rebellious nation by a holy and sovereign God. Examining both the biblical and the historical evidence, he recovers a truth our Founding Fathers understood only too well -- the working of Providence. This book is a clarion call to churches and individual Christians to once again proclaim the truth that God is "the King, the Judge, and the Lawgiver." It is an urgent plea to restore the prophetic purpose of the church before the watching world. - Back cover.
