Description

Never has our country been so materially well off and yet, at the same time, so spiritually impoverished. Despite our material wealth, there are record rates of depression, a divorce rate that continues to hover around fifty percent, an ever-increasing number of children in poverty, and a media that glorifies violence. THE AMERICAN PARADOX is a big-picture synopsis of the 1960 to 1990's "social recession." Other books have focused on specific social shifts during this time period-the sexual revolution, the decline of marriage and father care, children's changing well-being, violence trends, materialism, individualism, media influences, character education, and faith-but no one has brought together ALL the research data on these changes and provided an in-depth analysis that uncovers the causal relationships among these large-scale social changes. THE AMERICAN PARADOX accomplishes this synthesis and analysis of the data in a style that is accessible and thought-provoking. Not only does Myers analyze the research, but he also points the way to a social renewal by arguing persuasively for the kinds of changes that individuals and institutions can make to eliminate the spiritual hunger felt by so many in America today.
