WHY AMERICA DOESN’T WORK
Colson, Charles & Jack Eckerd
Word, 1991
227 pages

Calling us back to our roots, this is a popular-level theology of work that examines the American work ethic. It places the loss of Judeo-Christian values and the corresponding work ethic at the center of America’s problems. The book emphasizes pride of workmanship, competence and excellence, and its hapter “Restoring the Marketplace” contains helpful new material. Otherwise this book is a rehash of better organized material found in other books. Presenting Belief in an Age of Unbelief. Victor, 1986. 48 pages. “In a society which has relentlessly pursued pleasure, position, and power, we have become a self-absorbed, indifferent, and unthinking people” (back cover). In this booklet Colson challenges the church to reexamine its priorities and to begin to reach out boldly to our skeptical “me first” world. Clear and to the point, the booklet is full of effective anecdotes that reflect Colson’s grasp of American culture. Part of Colson’s Challenging the Church series.
