Upheavals and reversals in culture, popular opinion, morality, race relations, socioeconomic status, and so much more have entire generations feeling off balance or out of touch. How do we keep pace with the breathtaking rate of change in our society when we can hardly find time to keep up with our racing newsfeeds?

With America at the Crossroads, bestselling author and cultural analyst George Barna turns his researcher's eye on the most significant trends of our moment in history, compiling and distilling the most salient information for busy readers who want to shape culture rather than allow it to shape them. Anyone who has felt overwhelmed by our swiftly changing times will appreciate Barna's extensive research and his "bottom line" approach.

"The only way to make the best decisions for your future is to understand the trends of the present. America at the Crossroads is clear, practical, and ultimately hopeful.

"America at the Crossroads offers a panoramic view of the progressive collapse of American society while Christians stand by and watch with seeming indifference. This book provides a necessary prescription focusing on defining a clear vision, restoring a biblical worldview, and embracing personal brokenness before God. How could America go wrong with such a strategy for the future?"--David Barton, historian, bestselling author, and founder of WallBuilders

"It's no news flash that American culture and values have undergone massive and unprecedented changes. In America at the Crossroads, George Barna dissects these major transformational changes and explores where we're likely headed next. Frankly, it doesn't matter whether we agree with all of his interpretations or prescriptions for turning the ship around. What matters most is that we get our heads out of the sand and honestly grapple with the hard facts and data he presents, because how we respond will shape the future of the church and American society as we know it."--Larry Osborne, author and pastor, North Coast Church
