This short treatise looks at the topic of Political Science from a Christian perspective. A. T. Jones draws on his wealth of knowledge of history to show why it is that nations decayed and fell; why their governments became weak and could not hold the society together anymore.
He deals with the Biblical principle that “righteousness exalts a nation” (Proverbs 14:34), and shows that self-government (also known as self-control, or temperance) lies at the foundation of the strength of a nation. If the citizens have self-government, then their national government will be strong.
Since it is only the gospel of Jesus Christ that can give man back his dignity and self-control, then true religion has much to do with the stability of nations.

Dear brother in the Lord:
I greet you in the Lord’s name which is above every other name, Jesus Christ.
I recently gave my life to Christ. I am a 24 year old Girl and I am drug addict in high school. I belong to a group of bad friends. We had regular drinking and smoking parties, and end up in humanizing. One day after smoking and drinking heavily at a night party, the police came to arrest some criminals and I was arrested too, and they took us to the station.
During this time some of my friends abandoned me and I was in the police cell. There I met a preacher who preached to me about Jesus and the saving grace He has for us. Then I decided to give my whole life to Christ because I realized that all we were doing is not good.
I have now surrendered my life to Christ, promising never to return to sin. Jesus is now my Lord and Saviour. I want to work for the Lord all the days of my life.
I need your prayers encouragement and I also need your help for 12 complete English Bibles for me and my friends. We don’t have any Bible to continue in our new life.
May the Lord bless you.
I look forward receiving the Bibles.

Pat, I offer books free on this website, but only in electronic format (PDF). I have no books or Bibles to send to you. I get requests quite often from Africa, for printed books. I think it would be good for African believers to look to God for help, and use the resources they have right around them. He is your problem-solver, bring the problems to Him.
