Sinopsis

In "America the Beautiful," Robert Pollock delivers a stirring celebration of America through the eyes of those who chose to make it their home. This powerful collection weaves together historical context with contemporary immigrant narratives, creating a tapestry that highlights the enduring appeal of American ideals.
 
Pollock's narrative takes readers on a journey from America's founding principles through the waves of immigration that have shaped the nation. Through personal interviews and historical accounts, immigrants share their struggles, triumphs, and the obstacles they overcame to build successful lives. Their stories reveal a common thread – appreciation for America's opportunities, freedom, and the chance for self-determination.
 
The book doesn't shy away from addressing America's challenges, including cultural tensions and political divisions, but ultimately presents an optimistic view of the country's founding values. Pollock examines how immigrants have contributed to America's prosperity while embracing its core principles, and sounds a call to preserve these fundamental ideals for future generations.
 
Part historical narrative, part contemporary testimony, "America the Beautiful" offers a timely reminder of what continues to draw people from around the world to American shores, and why these principles remain worth protecting in an increasingly divided era.
 
If you enjoyed "The Dying Citizen" by Victor Davis Hanson, "A Nation of Immigrants" by John F. Kennedy, and "Coming to America" by Roger Daniels, you'll love "America the Beautiful: As Seen Through the Eyes of Its Immigrants."

    The 1988 State of the Union Address delivered January 25, 1988, extols individual rights, the free market, and the value of work, family, and religion, resulting in “the longest peacetime expansion in history”. Reagan stresses unity and common goals, saying there are no Republicans, no Democrats -- just Americans. 
    “We’re for limited government…”, free trade, a balanced budget, and the line-item veto. “[C]ontrol of our schools belongs to the States, local communities and, most of all, to the parents and teachers.” 
     “My friends, some years ago, the Federal Government declared war on poverty, and poverty won.” Our 59 major poverty programs have created a dependency trap that wreaks havoc on the family, the support system most needed to escape poverty. 
    We support a drug-free America, an end to federal funding of abortion, and “believe Congress should pass our school prayer amendment.” 
    “A creative, competitive America is the answer to a changing world, not trade wars that would close doors, create greater barriers, and destroy millions of jobs. … Protectionism is destructionism. America's jobs, America's growth, America's future depend on trade -- trade that is free, open, and fair.” 
    “We must … make adequate, stable defense spending a top goal both this year and in the future.” Our “efforts are to give future generations what we never had -- a future free of nuclear terror. Reduction of strategic offensive arms is one step, SDI another. Our funding request for our Strategic Defense Initiative is less than 2 percent of the total defense budget. SDI funding is money wisely appropriated and money well spent.”  
    We thank God for “this place called America, this shining city on a hill, this government of, by, and for the people. Thank you, and God bless you.”

    The Evangelical Church in the United States and other parts of the world, in general, is in a crisis of identity and stuck at a pivotal crossroads of history, conflicted about its God-given role and direction.This paralysis has been exposed and magnified by a renewed and raging debate about the role and relevance of Christianity in the governance and destiny of nations.“God and Government” establishes the truth about our role as Christians in the public affairs of nation states. It resolves one of the Church’s last frontiers yet to be conquered by Biblical truth: the old age conflict of the separation of God’s Word from the civil governance of nations.It explains why Evangelical Christians, between the so-called Religious Right and the Religious Left, are deeply divided about the role of the Church in the national politics of the United States.God’s blueprint guides the affairs of nations and He is not silent on matters of good governance, righteousness, and justice. Only God has unlimited power- His government rests on the shoulders of His Son Jesus Christ who has, in turn, delegated authority to the individual, family, Church and the State. “God and Government” is the definite answer to the following questions, and much more.

    Written with equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly—and once again—dependent on geography and circumstance.
