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. It also paints a vivid picture of the tremendous fragility of that experiment and explains why that fragility has been dangerously forgotten.

The "Why" of America that has been forgotten
Revisado: 11-22-19
Soon after the Constitution was completed, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what kind of government we would have. His answer, "A, Republic, if you can keep it," is the center piece of this book. Eric Metaxas vividly dives into history to explore the meaning of these words. He articulately and poetically reveals the deep meaning and many characters and events of American history, stories that have been neglected and forgotten. He artfully reveals the principles that once made us "One Nation, Indivisble."
Metaxas' respectful, informative, and warm approach will open your eyes and tug at your heart no matter your political persuasion.

Before you can resolve the issues of our day, you must be able to clarify them. Terms like same-sex marriage, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gay Christian are parts of daily discourse, yet enormous controversy surrounds them. They are the stuff of news headlines and vitriolic social media posts. But they also reflect stirrings of the heart in real people with real questions and concerns.

Thought Provoking
Revisado: 08-17-15
Deeply thought provoking and personal, this book is a masterful and clear presentation of how the culture's way of defining personhood according to sexual desire falls far short of the richness to be gained by finding one's identity first in Christ. With a sensitive and caring tone, Rosaria's reading of her own is compelling and convincing of the riches to be found in Christ no matter what kind of past we bring to that relationship. It is a good book for those who struggke with unwanted homisexual desire and also deeply insightful fir anyone with a family member ir friend with that syruggke.

Is it possible that there exists an ancient mystery that holds the secret of America's future? That this mystery lies behind everything from 9/11 to the collapse of the global economy? That ancient harbingers of judgment are now manifesting in America? That God is sending America a prophetic message of what is yet to come? Before its end as a nation, there appeared in ancient Israel nine specific warnings and omens of national destruction - these same Nine Harbingers are now manifesting in America with profound ramifications.

Amazing Precise Parallel of 9-11 to Ancient Israel
Revisado: 09-22-13
What made the experience of listening to The Harbinger the most enjoyable?
The Content is astounding and hearing the author read it made it seem very authentic.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
There is no logical explanation for the precise parallel between the events at 9-11 and those of over 2,000 years ago in ancient Israel. If a person doesn't believe in a God who can foretell the future and communicate with humans, then this content provides you with quite a challenge to explain how these events so precisely unfolded without God. If someone reads this as total fiction they will miss the main point! These current and ancient events actually occurred in precise parallel.
Which scene was your favorite?
The most impressive scene was the rediscovery of the small 200 year old church in Manhattan which newly inaugurated President George Washington led the first Americans to dedicate the USA to God.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
9-11 the cosmic message .
Any additional comments?
I understand why the author decided to put the book in narrative fictional form. But there is sense in which this book peels back the layers of reality to reveal a message no human could contrive.
