Still the Best Hope

Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

By: Dennis Prager

Narrated by: Erik Bergman

Length: 15 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

In this visionary book, Dennis Prager, one of America's most original thinkers, contends that humanity confronts a monumental choice. The whole world must decide between American values and its two oppositional alternatives: Islamism and European-style democratic socialism.

Prager - a bestselling author, columnist, and nationally syndicated radio talk show host who is read and heard by millions of people in America and abroad - makes the case for the American value system as the most viable program ever devised to produce a good society. Those values are explained here more clearly and persuasively than ever before.

Still the Best Hope deals with three huge themes: The first is perhaps the most persuasive explanation for why Leftism has been and will always be a moral failure, despite its acknowledged appeal to many people of goodwill. The second explains why fundamentalist Islam, despite its historic and growing appeal, cannot make a good society. But Prager holds out hope for an open and tolerant Islam and explains why it will emerge from faithful American Muslims. The third is a singularly persuasive defense and explanation of what Prager calls the "American Trinity": liberty, values rooted in the Creator, and the melting-pot ideal. These values are inscribed on every American coin as "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and "E Pluribus Unum," and they are the reasons for America's greatness. Without them, America will cease to be an exceptional nation, and therefore cease to be America.

Prager shows why these values can and must be adopted by every nation and culture in the world, why Americans must relearn and recommit to these values, and why America must vigorously export them. For if the world does not adopt American values, the result will be chaos and barbarism on an unprecedented scale.

Balanced and insightful...

...like a cold slap in the face. Prager's reasoning is deep and rational. Everyone should listen.

Must read to stop being brain washed!

The Left side in politics (usually Liberal/Democratic) has a very dangerous ideology, but it feels good, yet, it has terrible consequences. I was going in that direction; being brain washed by media, politicians, free thinkers until Mr. Dennis Prager rescued me, Literally!
By the way, the Left ideology is not just in America and Europe, it is all over the world even in the Middle East and Africa. People look at it as the ultimate. I may not agree with the author in every thing, but overall, it makes perfect sense.
Can't thank you enough, Mr. Prager.
I found this book in public Library and got it on audible, it is so true and full of real facts.
Always remember, when you cannot argue intellectually, you start calling people names like bigot, racist, homophobic, islamiphobic, sexist, close-minded,...etc the list never ends!

Proud American

This books finished what my grandfather started teaching me before he past. God bless America!

Outstanding!

My biggest disappointment is that I didn’t find this book sooner in life. This book should be a strongly encouraged reading for students, if not required.
I was initially concerned that it wasn’t narrated by Dennis. However, Erik Bergman did a fantastic job. I plan to purchase the book and follow along in my next audible run through.

Moral Excellence

Mr Prager has written the strongest and most compelling argument for Conservative American Exceptionalism written in this century. It should be considered mandatory reading for all who consider the United States as home!

Every American should read this.

Great book that is still meaningful in 2018. The Ieft and Islam are still treats to western civilization. People need to know what we are up against and how to fight them. Great job Dennis.

If you love America read this book!
