With typical wisdom and lucidity, Lutzer addresses a fundamental question - a question begging for an answer after a frenetic election - Is God really on America's side? To answer, the reader is carefully led through seven vital principles of a biblical understanding of judgment. - God can both bless and curse a nation.- God judges nations based on the amount of light and opportunity they are given.- God sometimes uses exceedingly evil nations to judge those that are less evil.- When God judges a nation, the righteous suffer with the wicked.- God's judgments take various forms.- In judgment, God's target is often His people, not just the general population.- God sometimes reverses intended judgments. Throughout, Lutzer's insights into how Christians should view government equips them 'to think with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other."
