Summary: Challenging look at the "Land of the Free"
Comment: If there has been an ideal time for a book like this to hit the market, the time is now. "Myths America Lives By" is a very powerful and insightful book that may come as a hard knock to many readers, but is critically important to acknowledge. Dr. Hughes has dug deep into America's history to uproot key events, philosophies, and struggles, to challenge key myths that have become part of the American landscape. To understand today, we must review the past, and this book has done just that. What is refreshing about this book is that it is not the history book that you read in high school with cookie-cutter type descriptions of the highlights of American history. Instead we are given a view from the poor, the oppressed, and the minority viewpoints. A progressive Christian viewpoint is one not often seen in mainstream literature this day in age, and it is nice to see Dr. Hughes representing the view so gracefully. Kudos for a well-written book.
Rating: 5
Summary: A must read
Comment: As an American Christian myself, I consider this a must read, especially for all others who also consider themselves both American and Christian. The instinct for many is to combine these two ideologies, having been fed America's absolutized myths over their lifetime. Hughes offers valuable insight into the otherwise difficult separation of the differences between American and Christian ideologies. Non-Christian Americans will appreciate this gem as well. This book has helped shape my worldview, the highest complement I can give.
