Reviews for The Coming Revolution

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5No, it’s not the American Civil War. It’s not even the Whiskey Rebellion. According to Richard G. Lee, America’s Second Revolution is happening now. Or at least was happening back when the 2010 election results held promise for many political conservatives and the Tea Party movement was at the height of its popularity.Many books on current events are outdated by the time they go into print. Lee’s The Coming Revolution is one of them. What might have been a dozen short blog posts has been stretched into 200 pages of some of the most unoriginal thoughts ever written. Lee is a product of the Cold War, evident by his anti-communist paranoia. He’d have kids today believe that the “Marxism” (he means Stalinist communism) and the “Soviet Union” (no, I’m not kidding) are the greatest threats to America’s future. And he wants to fight them by praising America’s better days.The Coming Revolution: Signs from America’s Past That Signal Out Nation’s Future is not the take-action book it claims to be. Lee spends about 80% of the book gushing over America’s grand narrative, covering no more than any of my grade school textbooks. He never misses an opportunity to brag about his role in bringing on the current Second Revolution, yet if anything, recent events proves just what a poor prophet he is.The question running through my mind is, why was this book even written? (Well, I’m also wondering why I volunteered to review it.) Lee is an avid opponent of violent revolution, something that he even tries to write out of America’s revolutionary history. He connects that response with anarchism, socialism, and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Instead, he promotes a peaceful overthrow of the old order and installation of a new one…by angry people, no less. As a self-proclaimed leader of the Second Revolution, he can only advise his readers to continue to do exactly what they’ve done all their lives: vote, hold leaders accountable, and stay politically engaged – things that haven’t brought significant changes in the long run. If Lee wants to be a leader of his new revolution, he needs to offer new strategies before he’s replaced or loses the war.I review for BookSneeze®: A copy of this book was provided by BookSneeze free of charge for review on this blog.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very well-written. You can tell that the author speaks for a living. I found it interesting to read about the unrest in the country from a religious, instead of purely political, point-of-view. It gave me a new perspective on what is going on. I definitely think this would be a great book for a college poli sci or current events class.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Coming Revolution is an extraordinary look back at where our Country has been, and those men and women who shaped it. As well as a look into where this Country may be headed if it does not heed the warnings, and live up to the ideals, the founding father's had hoped for, dreamed of, and set the path toward for today.Lee tackles the not so PC [politically correct] move away from Christianity, and what that means to the America on which our founders based our Country.A great book for anyone who fears the direction in which America is headed. I think this would make a great study book for group reads, especially in church groups. And would be a good impetus for classroom debate as well.I give this book 5 stars and my thumbs up.****DISCLOSURE: This book was provided by Book Sneeze in exchange for an independent and non-biased review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Many call the United States a Christian nation, while others argue against this premise. Dr. Lee brings the history of the founding of the United States to light as he explains just what roll Christians had in the settlement of our country. We have watched our country slip further and further into debt, immorality has become the norm, and the loss of individual liberty grows daily. Average citizens are now rising up and taking action. Not a revolution of guns and war, but with responsible political action. The Coming Revolution is more than just a history lesson. It is a call to action with specific positive approaches we can take to put our country back on the right path. The author doesn’t believe that it is too late to stop the downslide of America. History is not my usual genre, but the author explained just enough to hold my interest and explain his points. I liked that he talks about specific steps we can take to make a difference in a positive way and without violence. Even if we can’t do everything he lists, there are some things that we can all do.Dr. Lee is a pastor and Christian speaker. His book represents the Christian perspective of how much it should mean to us to be an American and to possess not just the American spirit, but a personal spirit of independence. His outlook is one of optimism and not doom and gloom. The book contains pages of footnotes and is indexed for quick reference.
