Still the Best Hope

Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph

By: Dennis Prager

Narrated by: Erik Bergman

In this visionary book, Dennis Prager, one of America's most original thinkers, contends that humanity confronts a monumental choice. The whole world must decide between American values and its two oppositional alternatives: Islamism and European-style democratic socialism.

Prager—a bestselling author, columnist, and nationally syndicated radio talk show host who is read and heard by millions of people in America and abroad—makes the case for the American value system as the most viable program ever devised to produce a good society. Those values are explained here more clearly and persuasively than ever before.

Still the Best Hope deals with three huge themes: The first is perhaps the most persuasive explanation for why Leftism has been and will always be a moral failure, despite its acknowledged appeal to many people of goodwill. The second explains why fundamentalist Islam, despite its historic and growing appeal, cannot make a good society. But Prager holds out hope for an open and tolerant Islam and explains why it will emerge from faithful American Muslims. The third is a singularly persuasive defense and explanation of what Prager calls the ""American Trinity"": liberty, values rooted in the Creator, and the melting-pot ideal. These values are inscribed on every American coin as ""Liberty,"" ""In God We Trust,"" and ""E Pluribus Unum,"" and they are the reasons for America's greatness. Without them, America will cease to be an exceptional nation, and therefore cease to be America.

Prager shows why these values can and must be adopted by every nation and culture in the world, why Americans must relearn and recommit to these values, and why America must vigorously export them. For if the world does not adopt American values, the result will be chaos and barbarism on an unprecedented scale.

What a great new perspective

What made the experience of listening to Still the Best Hope the most enjoyable?

This was a view into why the Left and Muslim Extremist and why they believe as they do. It is enlightening to me to understand why good people on all sides of the political aisle view the world as they do.

Irrefutable arguments against the "leftist" view.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, the conservatives would love it and the "leftists" desperately need it.

What did you like best about this story?

Prager doesn't just give his views, he backs up each point with hard facts and examples.

If you could give Still the Best Hope a new subtitle, what would it be?

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Or - So you think your elitists are smarter than all those elitists who've tried collectivism before?

Any additional comments?

What's the use? Conservatives already know and the leftists will hide their eyes and cover their ears... again.

Must Read!

If only all Americans would read this; a lot of questions would be answered, concerns, worries put into perspective.
My children will read this book!

Eye opening

Every American should be required to read this. Kids in school should be taught the principles in this book before it's too late.

Well Done
