Orlando, FL - Mathew D. Staver has just released his tenth book entitled Eternal Vigilance: Knowing and Protecting Your Religious Freedom. Published by Broadman & Holman, the 572-page book is the most comprehensive book of its kind regarding constitutional law and religious freedom.
Staver draws upon his experience as a pastor and a constitutional litigator. Staver has practiced constitutional law since founding Liberty Counsel in 1989. This year he argued the Ten Commandments case at the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky. A decision on that case is expected this Thursday or next Monday.
Eternal Vigilance answers virtually every important question regarding religious liberty.
• Did you know that “separation of church and state” is not part of the Constitution and that Thomas Jefferson had nothing to do with drafting the First Amendment?
• Did you know that not one church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for engaging in political activity?
• Did you know that the Bible can be taught as part of a public school curriculum?
• Do you know the laws that protect the rights of religious groups to use public facilities for religious meetings?
• Did you know that a valedictorian may give a religious message during graduation?
• Did you know that there are new laws that protect the rights of churches and houses of worship?
• Do you know the rights of parents to direct the education of their children, to apply for vouchers, to opt their children out of objectionable curriculum, or the rights of parents to be notified in the event their child seeks to have an abortion?
These and virtually every other religious liberty question are answered in the book, Eternal Vigilance. Knowing your rights is part of protecting them. Ignorance and apathy are the primary causes of a loss of religious liberty. Eternal Vigilance sets the record straight.
Eternal Vigilance is available in hardback for $24.99 plus shipping online at www.LC.org or can be ordered from Lifeway Christian Stores or other bookstores.
