If you can keep it

Book • 2016

In If You Can Keep It, Eric Metaxas examines the essential, yet often overlooked, ingredient of the American experiment in self-government: virtue.

The Founders understood that virtue was crucial to the success of their grand experiment, but most Americans today have little idea what virtue is.

Metaxas shows that, while freedom is vital to the success of America, virtue is the key to freedom.

Without virtue, our experiment in self-government will fail–and is, in fact, already in great danger of failing.
