Praise for If You Can Keep It "Profound and thoroughly entertaining . . . This book has made me think in ways that I haven''t in years. Metaxas is a major writer. Not to be missed." --Dick Cavett "If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty --along with such essentials as Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington and The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen--must be front and center on every reading list." -- The Washington Times "Everyone in every country, at every socioeconomic level, of every religious and secular persuasion, of every political bent, should read it. . . . It''s the book you must read this year." -- Martha Rogers, PhD, coauthor of Extreme Trust: Honesty as a Competitive Advantage "Eric Metaxas [is] one of our nation''s most brilliant and morally serious public intellectuals." --Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University "Irresistible . . . compellingly written . . . important. Not only should every American read it--they should then reread it aloud to their children and grandchildren." --Dennis Prager "Eric Metaxas has done a great service to the country." --Gregory Alan Thornbury, PhD, president of the King''s College, New York City "A faith-based argument for American exceptionalism . . . that will appeal to Christian readers." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Miracles " Miracles is the sort of book that--once you''ve read it--you''ll wonder where it''s been all your life." -- Kathie Lee Gifford, Emmy Award--winning host, The Today Show "If you''re a skeptic, read this book with an open mind and you might just discover that miracles are real. If you''re already a believer, be ready to be inspired." --Kirsten Powers, columnist for USA Today and The Daily Beast "Take the brilliant mind of Eric Metaxas, add the provocative topic of miracles, and get ready to change the way you see reality forever." --Erwin Raphael McManus, founder of MOSAIC and author of The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art "Metaxas has done it again. . . . He presents hope for the tone deaf who cannot hear the splendor of the music of the spheres, and he brings in sunlight for modern cave dwellers who have become accustomed to only shadows on the wall of our increasingly windowless world." --Os Guinness, author of Long Journey Home "The miracles in Miracles --and Eric''s own amazing miraculous experience--bring out the fact that the miraculous gift of eternal life that God provides can be experienced here on earth." --Luis Palau, international evangelist Praise for Bonhoeffer "Eric Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer''s story with passion and theological sophistication." -- The Wall Street Journal "A captivating and inspiring read from start to finish . . .

Synopsis
If You Can Keep It is at once a thrilling review of America's uniqueness, and a sobering reminder that America's greatness cannot continue unless we truly understand what our founding fathers meant for us to be. The book includes a stirring call-to-action for every American to understand the ideals behind the noble experiment in ordered liberty' that is America. Metaxas believes America is not a nation bounded by ethnic identity or geography, but rather a radical and unprecedented idea, based upon liberty and freedom.', #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas delivers an extraordinary book that is part history and part rousing call to arms, steeped in a critical analysis of our founding fathers' original intentions for America. In 1787, when the Constitution was drafted, a woman asked Ben Franklin what the founders had given the American people. "A republic," he shot back, "if you can keep it." More than two centuries later, Metaxas examines what that means and how we are doing on that score. If You Can Keep It is at once a thrilling review of America's uniqueness--including our role as a "nation of nations"--and a chilling reminder that America's greatness cannot continue unless we embrace our own crucial role in living out what the founders entrusted to us. Metaxas explains that America is not a nation bounded by ethnic identity or geography, but rather by a radical and unprecedented idea, based on liberty and freedom for all. He cautions us that it's nearly past time we reconnect to that idea, or we may lose the very foundation of what made us exceptional in the first place.

- j***2 (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchase☆☆☆ Seller. Is not the picture of actual recieved item. Listing photo was pulled from internet and used as placeholder, according to sellers listing. Thats on me for buying the cheapest one without looking at listing fully. Would have been better to not use another persons photo on seller's listing as the specific guide book advertised has reflective bits, the one i recieved did not.. At least it arrived and is decent enough to use and look at. Packed ok. Shipped promptly. Thank you.Pokemon Platinum Version: The Official Pokemon Guide (#396979033428)
- k***i (38)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.
- e***u (4506)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWell the stock photo was just that, a stock photo and the item did not include the other material shown, which I had asked about. A chance you take. Otherwise, in good shape, shipped promptly, plastic bag envelope (nothing wrong with that for the price, but subject to beatings by the PO dolts. Yes, i will still buy from them if the price is reasonable.
