Publisher's summary

Dear Listener,

In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great.

Many Americans heard and responded, but our nation’s decline has continued. Today the danger is greater than ever before, and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do now. Our growing debt and deteriorating morals have driven us far from the founders' intent. We've made very little progress in basic education. Obamacare threatens our health, liberty, and financial future. Media elitism and political correctness are out of control. Worst of all, we seem to have lost our ability to discuss important issues calmly and respectfully regardless of party affiliation or other differences. As a doctor rather than a politician, I care about what works, not whether someone has an (R) or a (D) after his or her name. We have to come together to solve our problems. Knowing that the future of my grandchildren is in jeopardy because of reckless spending, godless government, and mean-spirited attempts to silence critics left me no choice but to write this book. I have endeavored to propose a road out of our decline, appealing to every American’s decency and common sense. If each of us sits back and expects someone else to take action, it will soon be too late. But with your help, I firmly believe that America may once again be "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Sincerely, Ben Carson

thoughtful

A great debate on the merits of what we can all do to help out country. Dr Carson gives thoughtful reviews on many topics.

Great book! This guy should be our next president.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

Why is there no one like this in politics??? Or is this mentality stripped from one as they enter the world of becoming a politician?

Hope

Change Back,
Can we regain all that has been lost?

Anyone who reads or hears Ben Carson
can develop the pride to be part of the greatness of our Nation.

With leadership like this we will emerge
strong once more.

Great Book

Inspirational. Great message for all of us. His life is an example that everyone should aspire to.

Phenomenal unbiased Intelligent

Dr. Ben Carson is brilliant. This book takes both sides of perspectives and offers solutions rather than simply complaining. I highly encourage all parties to read this and be honest with yourself.

Great Advice

I loved this book it gave me hope that America may not be lost and if we just use common sense and learn about our elected candidates we may be able to fix our problems. There was not a single point made in this book that I did not agree with. Ben Carson for President!

FINALLY, a wonderfully POSITIVE Story.

If you could sum up One Nation in three words, what would they be?

Sincere, Honest, Faith

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ben Carson's mom, to raise her children to raise kids in a positive,Christian environment against all odds.

What about Prentice Onayemi’s performance did you like?

Down to earth

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

One of my favorite authors...

...and for good reason. Been Carson, MD, has the uncanny ability to put complex subject matters into simple, everyday language. One quote, that was given to me decades ago came to mind several times throughout this book: "I would die for the liberty that I have enjoyed, which someone else has died for and purchased in my behalf." This idea was again confirmed in the last chapter.

Another thought that Dr. Carson iterated is that we Americans must stand against 'political correctness,' which is in reality a misnomer because it is incorrect and can be fairly easily dismantled with truth and logic.

Let us follow the logic so eloquently given us by one of the best authors and orators of our time, Ben Carson, MD.
