Summary

In The Absolutes, James Robison identifies more than fifteen timeless truths--the foundation of all stable societies throughout history--and encourages us to build on that rock-solid foundation. Because these Absolutes transcend partisan politics and special interests, they are principles we can all agree on. If our lives are guided by these principles-- we will become people who put others' interests first, in a spirit of genuine love and compassion. But there's no way to get around this reality: Our future and the preservation of our freedom depend on the Absolutes. "Now is the time to stand up and make decisions based on God's Absolutes," says James Robison. "If we do so, you will be changed. Our nation will be changed. And our world will be changed--for the good!"
