Publisher's Synopsis
WE DON'T BLUSH ANYMORE God asks a very pointed question and answers it in Jeremiah 6:15 and 8:12. He asks: "Were they ashamed when they committed abominations? No, they were not ashamed, they did not know how to BLUSH". We can ask that very same question about the people we meet daily who exhibit the characteristics of rudeness, ill-manners, impoliteness and even abominations. We will probably get the same answer. They don't know how to blush, never were taught and never will be sorry for their uncivil words or actions. This book reveals how civility, manners, respect, and Christian attributes within the American culture have been cast aside and replaced by self-centered, immoral, disgraceful, and demeaning living standards within all categories of human society. It further reveals how children were taught manners and biblical attributes when our nation was founded. Their education was centered on the Holy Bible for nearly two hundred years along with Christian principles taught in The New England Primer and The McGuffey's Reader as the primary source of education in the schoolhouse. You will learn how that changed, who changed it, why it happened, and best of all you will be encouraged to learn how it can be turned around. This is a book for parents, teachers, counselors, overseers, and especially boys and girls so that everyone working together can make all of us a more loving, polite, and mannerly people and make America a better place in which to live. This is the first and probably the only book I will ever write. It's taken four years to complete and at ninety years of age time would most assuredly give out before I could produce another book. The first three and one-half years of writing this book was painstakingly slow. Then the words of Jeremiah 6:15 and 8:12 were discovered and the Holy Spirit supplied words, energy, and discipline to bring this book to completion. It may not become a New York Times best seller, but it is a clarion call to people of all ages in the United States and throughout the world to repent of their abominations and return to civility.
