James Robison has landed on the New York Times Best Seller List with his new book, Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom Before It’s Too Late.
Robison co-authored the book with Jay Richards, a senior fellow and director of the Center on Wealth, Poverty, and Morality at the Discovery Institute. The book will debut at No. 5 on the New York Times’ Nonfiction Hardcover Best-seller List that publishes on March 11.
“Our freedom, our way of life, and our future is in peril, and not just from hostile enemies abroad,” write Richards and Robison, founder and president of LIFE Outreach International and co-host of Life Today.
The authors contend that the solution to our society’s problems is a long-term approach that values principles, not partisanship. While agreeing “God is not a Republican … or a Democrat,” Robison and Richards believe good policies must apply true principles in the right way and encompass moral truth, as well as economic truth.
Robison and Richards carefully explain in the new book our country’s most pressing concerns—skyrocketing debt, rising poverty, abortion, judicial activism, the decline of marriage, environmental problems, education issues, etc.—and the folly of creating a more powerful state to combat them. “As government has waxed,” they write, “our liberties have waned.”
Drawing on historical, biblical, philosophical, modern-day and personal examples, Robison and Richards lay out a blueprint for change based on foundational principles.
“If we can etch these [principles] on our hearts and minds, seek a life of holiness and wisdom so we can discern them, teach them to our children, and apply them wisely in our personal lives and politics, then with God’s help, we’ll have most of what’s needed to restore faith, family, and freedom in the 21st century,” they write.
Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom Before It’s Too Late also hit No. 33 on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list published on March 1, No. 2 on The Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Books list published on March 3, and will be No. 7 on the Publishers Weekly best-seller list the week of March 5.
