In Stand and Fight: It’s Time for a Second American Revolution, constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead urges Americans to stand and fight for their rights—particularly their right to religious freedom—and provides readers with a step-by-step plan for fomenting change and safeguarding their constitutional freedoms.
“Freedom in general is under attack. But in the area of religious freedom for Christians, the battle is particularly fierce,” writes Whitehead. “In virtually every segment of society, the culture has become so secularized that Christian expressions in public are on the cusp of being seen as illegal. Furthermore, the battle for religious freedom has shifted in such a way that it is now the individual Christian who is being silenced by the state and consequently suffering the loss of religious liberty.”
Stand and Fight is divided into three sections.
- “The Current Landscape” examines the present state of religious freedom in America, what Whitehead refers to as the “triumph of non-religion over religion,” and the cultural and legal ramifications of banishing religion and religious expression from the public sphere.
- In “Learning from the Past: Grassroots Activism,” Whitehead traces the rise to power and eventual decline of the pro-life movement, the impact of its demise on religious freedom, and what concerned Americans today must do to truly have an impact in their communities.
- "What You Can Do” provides readers with a stirring call to action, urging them to stand their ground and fight for the things that matter. As Whitehead writes, “Time and again throughout our nation’s history, real change has come at the urging of the people.”
