“We Are in a Battle For the Very Soul of Our Nation,” Says Carson
Carson’s New Book, The Perilous Fight, Offers Solutions to Reverse Negative Culture Trends
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities that go on to build a stronger nation as a whole. Unfortunately, widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference in our daily lives are resulting in a breakdown of the family, robbing us of the country we love. Dr. Ben Carson says it doesn’t have to be this way. Recent polls show a large proportion of the country agree and are signaling a move back to conservative principles rooted in faith and family, of which Dr. Carson is a foremost proponent.
In his new book, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture’s War on the American Family (Zondervan, May 14, 2024), one of the most influential conservative voices, Dr. Carson offers inspiration and action-packed answers needed to restore the family as America’s key foundation. Like many of us, Dr. Carson fears we are losing the country we love and encourages readers to return to the biblical and familial values on which our nation was founded.
“We are in a battle for the very soul of our nation,” said Dr. Carson. “Only when we prioritize the family as an institution established by God will we proudly remain the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
The Perilous Fight equips readers to acutely understand the data behind the breakdown of the family and its negative effects on society including poverty, crime, and deteriorating education. Dr. Carson passionately details why our nation is dependent upon the health of families and why abandoning Christian values has led to the social decline we see today.

- How to restore a key foundation of America: the family
- Fresh ideas and public policy options to reverse negative cultural trends
- 3 core biblical beliefs needed to lead our nation
- Why abandoning faith has led to social decline today
