America's Hope: Why Every Other Civilization Has Failed and What You Can Do to Save This One

Several civilizations have lived on the American continent over the centuries, and each of them has been destroyed or decimated. Do we know- really know - what led to their destruction? And does a similar fate await us? Douglas E. Brinley has carefully studied the Book of Mormon, the teachings of modern prophets, and recent traumatic world events to outline what happened to the previous inhabitants of America. He describes ten stages of decline that each of the previous societies have passed through prior to their destruction, comparing our current conditions to theirs. Providing insights that offer hope and opportunity in a time of upheaval, this book offers counsel on what we must do to avoid the fate that befell former civilizations.
