Although subtitled 'analysing the state of the nation', this book is actually a call to the churches throughout Britain. It is a call to evangelicals to recover their historical social conscience and get involved in seeking to repair broken lives and heal the disintegrating communities in our crisis-stricken land today.
With this call in mind, Sir Fred surveys the state of Britain under three broad headings: the moral order, the economic order and the political order. If, shut away in our cosy suburban church ghetto, everything looks rosy and we doubt that Britain has problems, then it is time to wake up.
