IS GOD ON AMERICA'S SIDE? With typical wisdom and lucidity, Erwin W. Lutzer addresses a fundamental  question--a question begging for an answer after a frenetic election--"Is God really  on America's side?" To answer, the reader is carefully led through seven vital principles  of a biblical understanding of judgment.  God can both bless and curse  a nation.   God judges nations based on the amount of light and opportunity  they are   given.   God sometimes uses exceedingly evil nations to judge those  that are less   evil.   When God judges a nation, the righteous suffer with  the wicked.   God's judgments take various forms.   In judgment, God's target  is often His people, not just the general   population.   God sometimes reverses  intended judgments. Provocative questions for individual reflection or  group discussion complete each chapter of the book. Throughout, Lutzer's insights  into how Christians should view government equips them "to think with the Bible  in one hand and a newspaper in the other."
