This book was written over 200 years ago, but it could have been written today.

I had no idea that society had already begun such a sharp decline in real Christianity so long ago. It hasn’t stopped but has only gained momentum as the years have gone on. 

In this book, William Wilberforce asks:

“What would happen were faith to vanish from our nation? This should be the question every prudent individual should ponder. The church as we know it, with all its flaws and inconsistencies, would cease to exist. How can anyone think such an outcome would be anything other than disastrous for society? What impact would this have on the moral fiber of the common person? The restraint against moral deviation would be greatly lowered. Where would people who desire to change their lives and live in relationship with God and according to His teachings go? Who would be examples of the kind of lives we should live? What would become of the heritage handed down by the church through the centuries? How would we avoid a degenerate posterity? To what depth might public morality sink? It is probably good that such a society could not last for long. When the cement that has held a nation together no longer exists, the state soon dissolves into anarchy.”

Unfortunately, we now know the answers to his questions. 

This book is a call to all professed Christian’s back to true, Biblical Christianity. A call back to loving God with all our hearts, minds and souls.
