As Christianity is driven from the public square, what is replacing it? As the American people turn away from God, where do they look for their salvation? As they abandon their churches, where will they look for guidance to help them become the kind of people they should be? They look to government. And, as the faith of people in government as the source of their salvation and redemption grows, the government becomes an increasingly jealous god, trying to drive any competing religions from the market square. Between the onslaught of atheism and Progressive Socialism, will the United States of America survive as a nation guided by the values embodied in the Ten Commandments? Or will they redefine them as Ten Suggestions and succumb to the seductive voices of socialism and turn the powerful engine of Capitalism into a tandem bicycle where there is one free loading rider for every person pedaling? Godvernment both warns of this swirling collision as the worship of government replaces the worship of God and prescribes the challenging course to true salvation, both personal and societal.
About the Author: In addition to his career in corporate America and as a real estate entrepreneur, Tom Sheppard has invested more than a dozen years helping people to get the job they want. He has worked on both sides of the job interviewing table. Interviewing and hiring job candidates. And coaching job seekers in how to prepare their resumes, conduct job searches, write cover letters, and handle job interviews. He has taken many of his hard-earned lessons and poured them into his books for job seekers. On the real estate front, he has invested a lot of time and money in recent years investing in real estate and becoming a real estate entrepreneur. He has gone from being an award winning student of some of the most successful real estate gurus in the world to work behind the scenes with more than one. Many students of the leading real estate gurus seek Tom out to get the "real" story behind a guru or a strategy a guru is teaching. A former missionary and a U.S. Marine. He has survived and prospered in corporate life, rising to a six-figure salary before starting his own business. Two Masters Degrees and a lifetime of learning as well as a 30+ year marriage have taught Tom what it takes to succeed at work, life, and business. In his life he has swept floors for a living as well as leading teams of hundreds of highly paid executives to deliver multi-million dollar projects on time and under budget for a Fortune 500 company. In his books, Tom writes about what he knows. If he shares theory, it is theory that he has tested and proven in his own life and with others. He is adept at taking a complex idea and making it easily understood. In fact, his ability to cut through the smoke and mirrors to the heart of matters has upset more than one real estate guru he has done business with. Tom is sometimes controversial, occasionally too outspoken, and always honest. He is an engaging speaker, mentor, and teacher. He brings his life experience to bear to deliver practical, working solutions to problems that people face every day. He knows that one of the biggest things that hold people back from succeeding is the mistaken belief that it cannot be done in this place or at this time. His experience shows otherwise.
