Summary: Moral Issues
Review: "The Supreme Court's recent interpretation of 'separation of Church and State' would have been unthinkable to our Founders in 1607 and 1620, because for them their Christian faith and their civic government were as one." Pat Robertson prescribes a national embrace of the Bible's 10 commandments as a cure. The last chapters, in his book, scrutinize each of the commandments individually. He maintains that the nation continually surpasses the transgressions that moral issues are based upon.The commandments were revered as the footing of civic and religious life in our nation. Beginning in 1947, the judicial system has established a continuing dispute opposing our religious legacy. The Supreme Court later forbade public schools to expose children to 'rules" that we Americans knew were critical to their education and morality. Now the commandments that we considered as blessings suddenly become unlawful, in fact, Ten Offenses.
Mr. Robertson presents the transition which caused the destruction of our devout ancestry. He makes mention of the annihilation that judicial decisions have inaugurated upon the Christian realm. He takes a novel examination of each commandment, so that we can behold the incomprehensible importance of our incipient laws. He mentions the advantages of revering God's laws. He also discloses the repercussions if they are disregarded. This book is a blueprint to renovate the blessings of God's perpetual laws.
Mr. Robertson is an achieved philanthropist, religious leader, and author. In 1988 he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. He received his Juris Doctorate degree from the Yale University Law School and his Masters degree from the New York Theological Seminary. Christians have been asked to give up their rights to display the Ten Commandments so that others won't have their rights infringed upon. But if this country is supposed to be 'free' then how can we be free in our religion if others who are bothered take that right away?
John Adams also commented that "Our Constitution is created only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." The United States Supreme Court Justice, Chief Justice William Rehnquist said, "The secular application of the Ten Commandments is clearly seen in its adoption as the fundamental legal code of Western Civilization and the Common Law of the United States." But Robertson's solution to such ills lies not in emphasizing America as a nation with an enduring Christian heritage, but in claiming that the Founders desired America to be a Christian state. Thomas Jefferson would surely roll in his grave.

Summary: One of the Hucksters of Holiness
Review: Another book by one of todays biggest Hucksters of Holiness.
Pat Robertson, selling salvation to the highest bidder. In case you forgot, Robertson agreed with Jerry Falwell, that "Gawd" gave America what she deserved on 9/11. This was on Robertson's pleading for money show, 2 days after the 9/11 attacks. Pat Robertson and the rest of the Hucksters like him are a danger to freedom in this nation. Robertson is on record as saying that America's representative democracy should be done away with, in favor of a Christian theocracy. I wouldn't use any of Robetson's books for a cat box liner.

Review: Even if it were true that America was founded as a Christian nation, so what? America was also founded as a slaveowning nation; we got over it. The memetic plague of theism deserves no more respect than the viral plauge of AIDS.

Summary: The Battle for America's Soul- and Yours
Review: Few people can even name just a couple of the Ten Commandments (can you?), let alone tell you what they really mean. In this easy-to-read and engrossing book, Pat Robertson explains the true meaning behind each of the Commandments in a way that makes it relevant to the 21st century reader. He also documents the pivotal role Christianity played in American history, and how the U.S. has strayed from that path (and paid a heavy price for it). He also gives practical examples of how following the Commandments can lead to blessings for both a nation and your own life, which I'll get to in a moment. "The Ten Offenses" starts with numerous examples of the profound role Christianity played in our history, from the earliest settlers up through the Constitutional Convention. Sadly, most people are extremely ignorant of the powerful influence Christianity exerted in early America, including its politics and government. Robertson quotes, for instance, the Charter of Massachusetts Bay, which talks of winning "the natives of the country to the knowledge and obedience of the only true God and Savior of mankind and the Christian faith." And he explains what the words "establishment of religion" in the First Amendment really mean (hint: it's not the so-called "separation of church and state" - words nowhere found in the Constitution). And he provides quotes from all of the 50 state constitutions to show their references to God and religious freedom. Incidentally, there's been criticism from one review in the establishment media that the book is full of historical inaccuracies. But that's clearly not true. For example, one criticism claims that Robertson says John Adams was the architect of the Constitution, when what Robertson actually wrote is that "some consider" Adams the architect. (Adams' writings heavily influenced the Constitutional convention, as David McCullough's Pulitzer-Prize winning biography shows). The only other actual claim of a so-called "error" is that Robertson "suggests" (not "states") that leading Jewish groups were founded after the Holocaust, when they were actually started in 1913 & 1918. But the reviewer's inference is wrong; Robertson begins that section by discussing the anti-Semitism which began in Europe in the 1880s. (The astute reader will note that the 1880s preceded 1913 & 1918). The bottom line is, the book is full of historical quotes, facts and court cases from public sources that anyone can look up if they want to verify them (many of the sources are cited in the book itself). (In the interest of disclosure, as it were, I should note that I was one of the numerous support people who helped assemble this book, so I have a different perspective on it than the average reader. Even while Pat Robertson was writing it, and I was seeing the original manuscript, I concluded it was his probably best book to date. However, I don't personally profit from sales of the book, so I'm not writing this review - which reflects what I really believe - for any personal gain.) Inaccurate criticism aside, "The Ten Offenses" provides a well-documented history not only of the Christian influences on America, but also of a current hot topic of political debate: judicial activism. Robertson traces such activism back to its very beginnings, then up through the present day. He brings the two topics together by showing how activist judges have (all too successfully) worked to strip this country of its Christian heritage, while at the same time repeatedly imposing a liberal agenda. The heart of the book is a chapter-by-chapter explanation on each of the Ten Commandments and how they apply to both the nation, and to individuals' lives. It's amazing how much social damage has been done by our national failure to follow these principles. For instance, Robertson shows how our failure to "honor your parents" (ie, the need for strong families) has led to our current epidemic of social crises. Robertson doesn't spare the church, though. He points out, for example, that "taking God's name in vain" applies to more than just what people say - it also applies to how believers live. He blisters those in the church who have ripped people off in business dealings, church leaders who have forced sexual sins on those under their care, and more. But Robertson also points out the personal blessings of following the Commandments. One is perhaps the most obvious (and the most necessary in our modern society), yet it's also one you probably wouldn't think of: observing a Sabbath rest. As he says, "I shudder at the expression, '24-7.' ... We must have a day off. We must have rest." If you aren't doing this (and think about it - are you, really?), you could revolutionize your life (and probably your health) just by following this one commandment. And that's why the book's worth reading: not only can you learn a lot about history, you can also learn how to live your life so that you can be blessed by God. How many books can not only promise, but deliver, that?

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: In the first part of The Ten offenses what Pat Robertson sets out to do is show that the USA was set up as a Christian nation based on Judeo-Christian values; that there is no separation between church in states in the (OUR) constitution, but in fact what we have is protection of Churches (and religion) from the govt. That is the establishment cause that our national govt. will not form a state religion or really denomination and that there will be no law interfering with religion in any way; Pat Robertson also sets out to show us that some judges have run amok reinterpreting the constitution, especially in the last 60 years. I believe Robertson proves his point: if the courts are right they would basically have to rule the preamble and all 50 states constitutions null and void, for acknowledging God. In fact this book should be read in every school in the nation, but it would be ruled unconstitutional, because it quotes from the pre able, the constitution, the founding fathers writings, and all 50 states constitutions. That alone should tell you something is wrong. We are now under a judicial oligarchy as Jefferson warn us might happen, because the legislatures have failed in there duty to enforces the law as given int he states and national constitution (s). the second part of this book the ten Offenses is about the Ten Commandments them selves and how they are and have been a blessing to us as individuals and as a nation. He proves this with personal stories and historic facts. folks he gives one example I would like to site hear the island of Hispanola, one side of that Islands is Christian its the Dominican republic, they have low crime, are wealthy and are blessed and that is the Christian side of the Island, the other side is Haiti a nation dedicated to the occult, well Haiti is a hell hole, extreme violence, poor and wretched, unstable government after government. We have a choice we are at a fork in the road, we can go back to what are founding fathers (the fact is most were Christians) intended for us and are nation or we can choose the course of Haiti or worse yet the former USSR. What will it be?
