It’s Time

Mark Foley. Mobile: University of Mobile Press, 2011. 84 pp. (Paperback).

Looking at the cover of a book usually reveals a solid glimpse of what is inside. The first impression is of another (yawn) politically driven call to support one party or candidate and defeat another.

The first impression, in this case, falls far short of what is inside the book. It is a call to action, but instead of the expected political rhetoric, the reader is treated to piercing spiritual insights that offer a compelling personal challenge.

Author Mark Foley, president of the University of Mobile, wrote the book as part of the Twelve23 Movement, which is an organization designed to call Christians to be who we are meant to be and save a nation from its downward spiral. Foley pulls from 2 Chronicles 7:14 to illustrate what is needed for healing our land: to humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from sin.

At only 84 pages, “It’s Time” can be read through in one sitting, but you’ll want to go through it slowly to fully absorb the message.
