Very enlightening into the facts, and the efforts being made by many to change our society and culture to one that is in conflict with the beliefs of most Americans.Book Review: Culture Warrior
Summary: 4 Stars
As usual, O'Reilly shows his stuff. If you are one who watches/listens to him on a regular basis, then you already know about what he's saying in this book. The far lefties are trying to disrupt our culture, and most of us don't think our culture should be altered--very much, anyway. Sure, we have our problems, but to abruptly toss revered and esteemed good values aside is almost criminal. Yet, with what help from Rush calls "the Drive-by Media," the left is continuing to push, push, push. Those of us on the right (or even Centrists) must become "Culture Warriors" and keep up our vigil and push back--hard.Book Review: Culture Warrior - Bill O'Reilly

Summary: 4 Stars
"Culture Warrior," by Bill O'Reilly, published in 2006, was 5th on the best-seller list in the category "hardcover nonfiction" in 2006. O'Reilly is a syndicated columnist, has written eight books, and is the host of his own show, "The O'Reilly Factor," which airs every weekday on the Fox News Channel.
"At times you have to fight" (1) is O'Reilly's powerful first sentence of the book. O'Reilly notes that the American public, traditionalists (mostly Christians) in particular, are being attacked by socialists, coined "secular-progressives" (S-P for short) by O'Reilly.
O'Reilly notes many of the key leaders in the S-P movement, putting The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) at the top of the list. Others include George Lakoff, George Soros, and Peter Lewis. O'Reilly is basically saying that these organizations or individuals are mostly in line with the S-P movement and should be regarded with much caution.
So, what does this all mean for Christians? The S-P movement is attacking some of our core beliefs. Some of the ways that the S-P movement wages war are as follows: the war on Christmas, opposing the War on Terror, failing to bring justice for children, fighting for the teaching of evolution in schools, and polluting media and newscasts with their liberal agendas.
O'Reilly discusses the deteriorating morality of American culture and how we should fight to save it. At times, however, O'Reilly is too judgmental of others and makes offensive, personal jabs at others. While it is important to be critical of the actions of others on the basis that we should be careful what we allow to influence us, we also have to be careful what we say about them in order to use to not alienate them from ourselves. Colossians 4:6 says "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Even if we do confront others, we need to "speak the truth in love," as Ephesians 4:15 tells us.
All in all, Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior" is a pretty convincing book which effectively points out the urgency with which we should fight the S-P movement. We need to do what we can in the fight against the negative influences in our culture today. We have to stand up for our beliefs. As 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong." Sometimes, we do have to fight for what's right.
