Inhaltsangabe:

America faces a great crisis: the Book that has played an integral role in developing and forming our great nation is now the same Book that few read and even fewer understand.

Taking Back the Good Book explores how America has developed an apathetic—sometimes hostile—attitude toward biblical principles. To counter this troubling attitude, Kroll offers practical suggestions to help Christians develop a personal strategy to fuel their passion for and understanding of God’s Word. This, in turn, will energize America’s Christians to impact their nation—and the world—for Christ.

“It is an incredible fact that the Bible is the most sold but least read book! Dr. Kroll aims to reverse this sad statistic.”
Norman L. Geisler, Dean, Southern Evangelical Seminary

“Woodrow Kroll calls us back to our roots and challenges us to read the only book God ever wrote.”
Kerby Anderson, National Director, Probe Ministries

 “Woodrow Kroll is dead-on in his assessment of the church’s lack of engagement with the Word.” 
Howard G. Hendricks, Center for Christian Leadership

“My prayer is that God will use this book to stir you to action in overcoming biblical illiteracy in the United States.”
Bob Creson, President, Wycliffe Bible Translators USA

“Woodrow Kroll has been a frontline leader in the effort to bring back the Bible as the foundation of faith. His new book should be read by everyone who sees biblical illiteracy as a truly serious threat to the health of both religion and American society.”
George Gallup Jr., Founder, The George H. Gallup International Institute

“Biblical illiteracy is a scandal in the church. It is high time we remedy this embarrassment and teach the Bible. I commend Dr. Kroll for raising the alarm about the lack of biblical literacy in our homes and churches.”
R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“There surely is, as Amos said, a famine in our land for hearing the words of the Lord. This book is a clarion and much-needed call to combat the Bible illiteracy of our day. Dr. Kroll issues a challenge that hopefully will result in a movement to turn that famine back into a feast.”
Charles Caldwell Ryrie, editor, The Ryrie Study Bible

“Thank God for this book that not only pinpoints a basic problem in our churches but also prescribes a cure! God has chosen Woodrow Kroll to be the man to sound the alarm of Bible illiteracy and awaken us to a vision of better days ahead!”
Erwin W. Lutzer, Senior Pastor, The Moody Church, Chicago, Illinois

“More than a declaration of war, this book is a battle plan for all who want to make the Bible central in their lives, their churches, and our great nation.”
Warren W. Wiersbe, author, the Be series

“Taking Back the Good Book offers an alarming analysis that will alert every Bible-believing Christian as to how we can get well. The recovery may be long, but the rehab will be worth it.”
Mark Bailey, President and Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary
