Enjoy the latest reviews of The Race to Save Our Century and view the riveting trailer! “Jason Jones, a human rights activist and filmmaker, and John Zmirak, a scholar of economics and theology, have combined to create a book that is prophetic—not in the sense that it pretends to tell the future. No, The Race to Save Our Century speaks truth to power as Amos and Elijah did, and points to the deepest truths about God and man. The authors expose the anti-human ideologies that created the twentieth century’s genocides, and warn us how these moral viruses still lurk within our culture. Best of all, the book gives a cogent, five-point program for defending human dignity, freedom, and peace in the 21st century.” —Gov. Mike Huckabee “The true ascent of man over the centuries has been the steady recognition and embrace of the truths about human nature and the good society that the Creator wrote upon our hearts. Forget these, the authors tell us in this prophetic book, and our new century will more than replicate the horrors of the one we just left behind.”— Patrick J. Buchanan “John Zmirak was brilliant when I met him at Yale thirty years ago, but to now see that brilliance in full flower in this magnificent book written with Jason Jones is a deep joy. Simply put, The Race to Save Our Century should be taught in every college in America. Do yourself a huge favor: chuck the newspapers for a while and read this book! Youll learn infinitely more about what is happening in the world today.” —Eric Metaxas, New York Times Bestselling author of Bonhoeffer. “Jason Jones and John Zmirak break down some clear solutions to help us make the most of our generation. This book could not come at a better time.” —Josh Duggar, Executive Director of Family Research Council Action and reality star on TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting “As a victim of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, I found hope for human dignity after reading this book. It is a must-read for college students.” —Dr. Kate Xiao Zhou, Professor of Political Science, University of Hawaii “I am inspired by Jason Jones’s courage to speak truthfully and write unequivocally in defense of Life. He is also a brilliant filmmaker, who uses powerful persuasive movies to publicly challenge calcified minds. Jason Jones’ loud drum beat for people to stand up and courageously speak truth to power evokes the spirit and words of Robert F. Kennedy, ‘Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, and the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.’” —Kwame Fosu-Shabazz, Policy Director & Director of International Affairs, the Rebecca Project “In many ways, the core event of the twentieth century was the attempted suicide of Western civilization. But even now, as Jason Scott Jones and John Zmirak demonstrate, there is hope. And it involves going back to the roots of that civilization: not for nostalgia’s sake, but for the sake of breathing life back into the civilization that gave full meaning to human dignity and human freedom. This book shows us how.” —Samuel Gregg, Research Director, the Acton Institute for Religion and Liberty “Jones and Zmirak have compiled an incisive history that reveals so much of the connectedness in the atrocities since World War I, but it becomes more than a mere history when we realize that there is a normative ethics that can be reaped from all of the pain and suffering in a century of subhumanism. This book shows that the intrinsic value of human beings—this immutable worth—is really something that can be seen and comprehended not because one is a Republican or a Democrat, nor a Christian or an atheist, but simply because one is human. This will without question be required reading for our staff members: this is a monumental step in the right direction for the pursuit of a culture of peace and a culture of life.”—Aimee Murphy, Executive Director, Life Matters Journal “An important book and just in time. John Zmirak is one of the most insightful writers in this still young century. He sees the ongoing perils of the decaying Republic, yet offers hopeful remedies for its ills.” —Fr. C.J. McCloskey, research fellow, Faith and Reason Institute “I share Jason Jones’s view that denial of transcendental moral principles would lead to ‘subhumanism,’ which reduces us to a subset of mere lowly animals. Also, even though pleasure or happiness as such is good, human dignity as the highest principle cannot be placed under hedonistic utilitarianism. This book has discredited relativism, the prevalence of which has been corrupting the human intellect for many decades. Jason Jones defends human life and freedom powerfully in this insightful book, and I encourage people from every part of the world to read it and take it seriously.” —Zhenming Zhai, Professor of Philosophy at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China; author, The Radical Choice and Moral Theory “A fresh and provocative countercultural argument that transcends and challenges conventional political categories. People of good will from all points on the ideological spectrum will appreciate and profit from The Race to Save Our Century.” —O. Carter Snead, Director, Center for Ethics and Culture and Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame.
