1776 Rising: America’s Second War for Independence

How the 250th anniversary is a threshold to America winning the spiritual battle against evil and securing newfound flourishing.

America’s 250th birthday has passed, yet many wonder whether we’ll see its 300th. This book was written to affirmatively answer that question.

Taking shape over a decade of research and writing, 1776 Rising: America’s Second War of Independence provides a framework of solutions to America’s insurmountable government debt, the consequences of censorship and cancellation, the loss of equal justice, the politicization of the courts, the China threat, and even what to do about the seditious activity of US government officials who plotted to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump.

The book also explains why the country that defeated fascism and communism in the same century now appears unable to balance a budget, defend borders and law enforcement, or agree on what a woman is. Why institutions that once commanded near-universal trust now command near-universal suspicion.

The short of it is that America’s troubles are not four separate crises—economic, military, political, and cultural—but one crisis wearing four faces. The reckless compounding of our national debt is a moral crisis, with this generation leaving next generations with unsurmountable debt. The politicization of our courts and intelligence agencies is not a legal problem; it’s what happens when a shared standard of truth is lost. The hollowing out of public schools, the rise of political violence, the erosion of the melting pot into rival tribes—these are not unconnected headlines. They are downstream of the same source: the detachment of America from the moral and spiritual foundation on which it was built.

Most importantly, this book reassures the reader that we can fix what has fundamentally come loose and find clear answers to the crisis of the American soul.
