Yet today, we find that many black leaders have forgotten what inspired that struggle. Many of these leaders urge black Americans to look for inspiration from government and political agendas that undermine the moral fabric of the Church -- the same Church that guided the civil rights movement! Abortion, same-sex marriage, and government encroachment -- which subverts religious liberty -- are now all proclaimed as "freedoms" by many black leaders. To be sure, the leaders of the civil rights movement saw these as evils and evidence of sin -- certainly not signs of freedom. Black Americans are at a crossroad of their own today -- in many ways, even more so than before the civil rights movement. Will we turn away from a life of dependence on government and political agendas and turn back to God and His plan for us?</p><p>Despite the successes of the civil rights movement -- during which African Americans peacefully protested to obtain basic human rights -- many blacks have forgotten the fact that it was their Church that was at the center of that movement, providing its moral conscience and foundation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The history of the African American experience is a complex one, but Rev. Owens manages to combine historical fact with his own life's work to create a riveting story and inspirational call-to-arms. A Dream Derailed will be eye-opening to those who have bought into the modern myths about our country's past. Rev. Bill and Dr. Deborah Owens set the record straight with grace and eloquence, and they are courageous and inspiring leaders. The great work that Bill and Deborah have done with their ministry is echoed throughout this book, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. William J. Federer, Best-Selling Author and Nationally Known Speaker</p><p>I have been blessed to know and work with Bill and Deborah Owens and I've always admired their commitment to Biblical truth. There are no comfortable fictions in this book.Every word speaks to the love and sacrifice with which Bill and Deborah approach their ministry. I have great affection and respect for them both and I happily recommend A Dream Derailed to Christians everywhere. Pastor Paula White-Cain, President, Paula White Ministries</p><p>"In this important and timely book, Rev. Owens combines anecdotes, facts, and keen insights to answer the question that every Christian and conservative is asking: What has happened to America? A Dream Derailed is more than a catalog of the errors of modern secularism and big government. It's a guidebook and a mission statement for every Christian citizen. Rev. Owens is a patriot, a visionary, and a renowned and respected faith leader at a critical time in our nation's history. I strongly recommend A Dream Derailed for anyone who wants to be inspired and encouraged to keep fighting the good fight to restore America to moral greatness." Ralph Reed, Founder and Chairman, Faith & Freedom Coalition </p><p>There is an important question at the heart of this book: What happened to black America and the dream of a "Promised Land" that motivated the civil rights activists? From a personal perspective, I would answer by saying that taking prayer out of public schools and the public square happened. I would say that legal abortion happened. I would say that the redefinition of marriage happened. Many of us know what happened. Now, as we read along the paths that Bill and Deborah have tried and tested, we can ask, "What happens next?" without having to hang our heads and run for the nearest shelter. Evangelist Alveda King</p><br>
