Opis

America is drifting headlong into Socialism, with millions believing that they should be cared for by the State. Like never before we need a clarion call of warning to stop this drift, and stop it now. So, what does Jesus Christ have to do with John Galt? This book addresses that question with lively quotations and dialogue from Atlas Shrugged and the Bible and discussion of hot topics like individualism, collectivism, progressivism, egoism, altruism, money, sacrifice, sexuality, friendship, and Utopian dreams for an ideal society. A companion book to readers (and would-be) of Ayn Rand, Christian and atheist alike will find something here.
