Dr. Swains Be the People is an excellent piece of worka thorough and honest examination of how politics and Americas history intertwine in the real world. Dr. Swain explores many public policy topics. I strongly recommend her chapter on immigration policy and politics; she provides a thoughtful examination of a complex topic that often generates strong feelings.

There are many good books but only a few really important ones. Dr. Carol Swains Be the People is one of the latter. Brave, informed, candid, and thoughtful, she brings her fine academic mind to bear on the most pressing needs facing our country. She calls on We the People to be the people our nations founders envisioned, a people united around a common set of moral convictions who have the courage to live them out. Dr. Swain proves that Christian faith and deep patriotism are alive and well and offers a recipe of hope for Americas future.

TONY PERKINS
PRESIDENT, FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL

Carol Swain is that rarest of rare things: a distinguished university professor and prominent public intellectual who is willing to stand up and speak out for God and country. Far from considering herself to be superior to her fellow citizens for whom religious faith, old-fashioned virtues, and a spirit of patriotism are cherished values, she encouragesand, indeed, challengesthe people of the United States to be more intensely devoted to what Lincoln referred to at Gettysburg as this nation, under God. Be the People is a ringing affirmation of the central principles of the American republic and the traditions of faith and thought that brought it into being. Professor Swain does not turn a blind eye to Americas failings, be they the enslavement of her fellow African-Americans earlier in our history or the abandonment of the unborn to abortion, but she reminds us that the key to reform isas it always has beenrenewed fidelity to the principles of liberty and justice on which this great and good nation was founded.

ROBERT P. GEORGE
MCCORMICK PROFESSOR OF JURISPRUDENCE, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

In Be the People Dr. Swain offers a vigorous defense of the founding values so many of us hold dear. She exposes the insidious misperceptions, even lies that elites in this country have perpetuated to justify the growth of government and the dilution of our core values. Professor Swains inspirational book is important for Americans who hope and pray for a better nation.

Carol Swain is simply a truth teller. She makes no apologies for her conservative, pro-American stances. Be the People will illuminate you to the real truth about the social, fiscal, and godless nosedive our country is experiencing right now. This book will challenge you to stand up and do something about it. God bless Dr. Swain!

A courageous, challenging, and controversial call to Americans of all colors to return to their Creator and to come to their Judeo-Christian senses.

DR. PETER A. LILLBACK
PRESIDENT, THE PROVIDENCE FORUM; AUTHOR, GEORGE WASHINGTONS SACRED FIRE

I applaud Carols labor. Everyone should read this work, immediately commit to the action points at the end of each chapter, and recommend this book to someone else. Be a nation-changer! Together, we can reclaim both Americas faith and the vision our forefathers carried as they established this great nation.

In Be the People Carol Swain unflinchingly takes on the cultural elites that disdain Americas religious and political traditions. I dont always agree with her, but I am grateful for her voice in the debate.

If you desire to be further empowered in taking a meaningful and right stand concerning issues that will shape our future freedoms and the release of Gods blessings, if you want a solid resource to aid and enlighten your political position while supporting your beliefs, read Be the People.

Ignorance is not bliss: clearly we must stand united for America with a clear and informed voice at such a time as this.

JENNIFER ONEILL

This dynamic and insightful book is a must read for every American as Dr. Swain pulls back the veil and powerfully reveals the truth about those who are actively engaged in the attempt to destroy our nation from within.

DR. RICHARD LEE
EDITOR, THE AMERICAN PATRIOTS BIBLE; SPEAKER, THERES HOPE AMERICA

Carol Swain has written one of the best apologetics for the conservative Christian worldview that Ive ever come across. Everyone concerned about the direction this country seems to be going in of late should read this excellent call to action.

JOHN ROSEMOND
FAMILY PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR,THE DISEASING OF AMERICAS CHILDREN

In Be the People Carol Swain does a masterful job of describing the plight of America in 2011. While making no attempt to sugar-coat the reality of the problems we face as a nation, Dr. Swain nonetheless offers practical and time-tested ideas for public policy initiatives that will bring back the blessing of God to America.

But beyond the insightful analysis of where we are as a nation and the steps to find healing, there is the incredible human story of how, through God, Carol overcame impossible odds to become the accomplished woman she is today. I am left with a sense of awe about the power of Christ to transform a life and then use that life to touch others.

RANDY HEKMAN
CANDIDATE FOR US SENATE IN MICHIGAN; AUTHOR, JUSTICE FOR THE UNBORN

Be the People is a courageous, carefully researched, comprehensive, insightful, and timely gift to the American people. Dr. Carol Swain... writes with the sober conviction of one who well understands the risks of speaking up but who has also measured them as carrying far less weight than the risk of silence or compromise. God bless her.
