"Material obsession paralyses the West and political repression grips the East. All around us crime rises, moral values decline, and families fragment. Indeed, the forecast is foreboding.... The crisis is not political; it is moral and spiritual. And so is the solution. That''s why Christians are the only ones who can offer viable answers. So I have written this book not just as a warning, but as a challenge to God''s people". (Preface) .
