Overview

Recently, and seemingly overnight, the once cliché slogan "God Bless America" became almost a national mantra. John MacArthur gets to the heart of the matter by asking the questions most Americans choose to ignore: "Should God bless America?" and "Is America deserving of blessing?" Turning to the Old Testament, he presents the simple truth of God's word, his blessing has always had conditions. MacArthur calls the Nation to turn back to God by showing us how we can become a nation that is once again blessed by God.

“While people reject the God of Scripture as their Sovereign, they still claim Him as their servant.” (Page vi)

“Scripture is clear that a wholesale spiritual renewal, brought about through the clear and persuasive preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, is the sole pathway to divine blessing. What is needed is not merely moral reform, but spiritual regeneration.” (Pages viii–ix)

“Can God bless America without compromising His reputation as a holy God? That is the vital question.” (Page 7)

“God blesses only one thing: saving faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Page 77)
