In God We Trust

Book Cover & Preview Text
“In God We Trust” is the official motto for the United States of America and can be found written many different places in our country. It is found, for instance, on our national currency, on many car tags, bumper stickers, signs and posters. The list can go on and on, as to where this motto is written, but my question is: Do we really trust in God? Have we, as a nation, left our first love? Have we become a Godless nation or a nation of many gods? Have we become silent Christians, letting anything go, or are we just going through the motions or going along just to get along; not making waves or taking a stand on anything; whether right or wrong? Have we become lukewarm in our Christian walk or have we lost our zeal? Are we catering to itching ears, that only want to hear a portion of the gospel? Have we left off telling the whole truth of the Word of God that tells us about consequences for our actions and that one day we will all have to stand before a righteous God and will give an account for every idle word and deed (Matthew 12:36)?

About the Book
Are we are facing insurmountable problems because we have taken God out of our homes, schools, churches—and now our nation? Have we taken God out of our lives? Have we become too busy for God? Are we so preoccupied with the cares of this world or the things of this world that we don’t take time or make time for our God?
In God We Trust is based on the fact that America started as a nation trusting God, and author B. B. Hicks goes on to look at where we are today as a nation, as a church, and as people of God. In God We Trust teaches us about how to get to know God, trust God, and turn back to God. And most importantly, it will help us learn how to stay connected to God.
In God We Trust is a clarion call to the nation, as well as to the church, to turn back to God. We, as people of God, need to put first things first—and God should be first in our lives. We should perform a self-assessment to determine what are our priorities and what is first on our agenda. The Bible tells us that God is a jealous God, and he wants to be first in all things (Exodus 20:4–5). Through Jesus Christ, we can learn to put God first.
