I seem to be driven to tilt at the windmill of making works about Western civilization and Christianity more accessible to the “common man, meaning the High School/Community College graduate and those of any educational level captured by our shallow post-modern “culture” of greed, pride, selfishness, consumerism, hedonism, decadence and especially nihilism.

There may be a limit to my beating the dead horse of the dangers of Western civilization’s return to paganism, but not just yet. The left screams, “We’re not going back!” while they are falling down from the tower of Western civilization to the abyss of paganism.

I like the pleasure of reading a hardcover book, especially if it is used and cheap! The one in hand was in “very good” condition. It had apparently been given as a gift “with love, from Jane and Floyd” in June of 1955. Since I was born in October of 1956, the nearly 70-year lapse of time gave perspective on the observations and predictions. The book was written in 1953.

This post is prompted by a post suggested to me by a friend. The post is titled “The Kingdom of God Has No Guns,” which for Catholics and at least LCMS Lutherans, seems to be starting with an error. We believe that the Kingdom of God is here, present today and has been since Christ’s coming to die for our sins.
