In addition to providing a devastating critique of socialism and big government, Senator DeMint explains the role Christian principles have played in the birth and the flourishing of our freedoms in America. Not content to just curse the darkness, Senator DeMint concludes Saving Freedom with action plans citizens can embrace to join the struggle to restore and maintain our God-given liberties in America.

Jim DeMint has been an effective and outspoken leader for free markets and conservative values on the floor of the Senate since his election in 2004 and before that in the House of Representatives. Now Senator DeMint lays out the bedrock principles that define conservatism in our time while sounding a crucial set of alarms about the direction of the new Congress and President Obama. In sharply written and completely documented chapters, Senator DeMint lays out why the slide toward statism has to be stopped and how to do it. Buy the book for yourself and a copy for a friend or relative who needs both a primer and a guide forward. This powerful book is part of the solution to what ails our economy and country, so spread it around.

Hugh Hewitt, nationally syndicated talk radio host

Jim DeMints new book, Saving Freedom, is a disturbing work. It is tough on both Republicans and Democrats. It tells the truth, frightening though it may be, and calls all Americans to account for the loss of freedom in our country. This hard-hitting expos is a must read and will challenge all to a recognition of what is truly happening in America. While DeMint is an optimist and feels there is hope, I truly hope that the impact this book can make is not too late.

Dr. Frank S. Page, Immediate Past President, Southern Baptist Convention 20062008

Jim DeMint has been a courageous voice in the U.S. Congress. In Saving Freedom he shows that he is wise as well. Saving Freedom is a wake-up call for Americans. It lays out a clear and persuasive case that the greatest threat Americans face today is socialist collectivism. Senator DeMints book could not have come at a better or more urgent time.

Saving Freedom is a powerful book which should be read by all Americans regardless of political affiliation. Senator DeMint, in an easy to read primer on our history and our legacy, explains why we need to return to constitutional principles if the United States is to continue to be that light on the hill.
