America Alone: The End of the World as we Know It

Today we are focused on Mark Stein's book, America Alone: The End of the World as we Know It
I want to refer you to a review listed below.

America Alone: The End of the World as we Know It Is the free West "sleepwalking into a trap of its own making while blissfully ignoring the many danger signs that are everywhere"?

by Harry Antonides @Canada' s Christian Community Online http://www.christianity.ca/entertainment/books/2007/01.001.html
We do not get into politics on this site so please see this article as a chance for the Church to answer some questions;

1.Is the basic tenet of this article and book true?

2. If the the basic arguement of this book is true, what should the Church be doing to bring Christ to our changing world?

3. Do we need to be doing things differently then we currently are?

4. Do we need to fall on our faces and cry out to God to hear from Him or do we believe we just need to work a little harder to accomplish our current plans?
Please read the article and come back to this blog and leave a comment?
"America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It brings together some of the big themes of Mark's writing in recent years - demography, the unsustainability of the welfare state, a resurgent Islam, and the west's loss of civilizational confidence. The result is an incisive examination of how the world could look the day after tomorrow, on the brink of a new Dark Ages. Permanence is the arrogant assumption of every era, and ours is no exception. But in Europe, the Middle East and beyond history is on the march, and moving very quickly."
