The Battle of the Republic

America is not simply experiencing political division-it is undergoing moral and spiritual re-formation. Ideas once confined to academic theory now shape laws, classrooms, media, and the conscience of a nation. Many Christians sense that something fundamental has shifted, yet struggle to explain what is happening or how to respond faithfully.

The Battle for the Republic offers a clear-eyed examination of the forces reshaping American culture and civic life-and the cost of Christian silence in the face of that change. Drawing from Scripture, history, and the structure of the constitutional republic, Charles Garner traces how truth was eroded, authority redefined, and responsibility displaced over time. The result is not chaos by accident, but drift by design.

This book is not a call to partisan frenzy, violence, or theocratic ambition. It is a call to discernment. To stewardship. To principled engagement rooted in biblical conviction rather than cultural outrage. Garner distinguishes carefully between spiritual warfare and political responsibility, between loving people and resisting destructive ideas, and between faithful citizenship and idolatrous politics.

Written for pastors, church leaders, educators, and thoughtful believers, The Battle for the Republic equips readers to understand the moment they are living in-and to recover the courage required to stand within it. It asks hard questions, names real threats, and insists that the health of a republic ultimately depends on the moral formation of its people.

This is a book for those who refuse to surrender either their faith or their responsibility. For those who believe truth still matters, conscience still counts, and standing is not optional.
