Book Review - Disturbing Questions By Ron Bourque

Important Questions Regarding God’s Blessing on America

Ron Bourque offers hope to Americans. Even while fighting terrorism, natural disasters, rising medical costs, and economic woes, Ron proposes steps that can be taken to insure an optimistic future for our country. As a first step he challenges the reader to become informed, involved, and influential citizens. Theses steps coupled prayer, forgiveness, and a turning to God round out his steps toward newel.

A complete appendix with a list of resources and organizations that will help Americans chart the course for the future is included. In appendix 2 he also offers some practical tips on career management that will make a positive impact.

In “Disturbing Questions: Has God Stopped Blessing America?” Ron Bourque asks the hard questions. Ron has written the book with the hope that it will kindle a fire in the heart of the reader and that it will encourage them to ask discuss issues and question questions of each other and of political leaders. These discussions and questions will enable the participants to learn from each other, to move beyond the cursory assessments and work toward solutions.

Real life illustrations and incidents bring home the futility of terms like “jobless recovery,” “political correctness,” and “the wave of the future.” Impressive color charts demonstrate the trends in balance of trade and the value/cost pyramid and visually picture the tragedy occurring in American industry. Ron discusses the per capita public debt in our country and asks hard questions regarding truth, mistruths, the role of ethics, and the victimization of consumers.
His basic premise revolves around the deception behind the Roe vs., Wade decision and America’s acceptance of legalized abortion. He poses the question, “Could it be that abortion has consequences beyond the convenient disappearance of unwanted pregnancies?”

Ron’s Roman Catholic background influences his convictions, however, does not try to hide his church affiliation. The scope of his question is one that needs to be asked by every American regardless of ethnic, cultural or religious background. Biblical illustrations, words from Mother Teresa, and St. Augustine affirm the validity of this question. “Disturbing Questions” is, provocative, thought provoking, important, and timely.
