"What a great book!"

The Rock Star GOP Activism Awareness blog has posted a short but very sweet review of "They've Crossed the Line" - here it is:

I recently read PA State Representative Stephen Bloom’s book They’ve Crossed the Line A Patriot’s Guide to Religious Freedom.  What a great book!  The forward is written by Senator Rick Santorum.  It is a quick read and I encourage you do take the time and read it.  So often we as Americans are told we do not have our freedoms and so many people throw their hands up and walk away.  We do have religious freedoms, no matter if we are at school, work, or in a public place.  It’s time more Christians stood up and fought.

Review:"They've Crossed the Line" a Powerful Reference Guide

"Attorneys Bloom and Bailey wrote an informative Patriot’s Guide to Religious Freedom, the subtitle of their new release— They've Crossed the Line... Their topic is timely and compelling with Christian religious rights challenged throughout our culture, schools, the military, even our traditional moral values," says Gail Welborn in her new review for the Seattle Christian Book Review/Examiner.

"This powerful reference guide equips Christians to know their guaranteed Constitutional rights," Welborn concludes, "The book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who experiences troublesome attitudes of political correctness engulfing our nation that breeds discrimination and hostility toward our most sacred Christian values and belief."

Welborn also awarded the book 5 stars at Goodreads.com.

Foreword by Rick Santorum: They've Crossed the Line

Rick Santorum, former United States Senator and presidential candidate, provided the foreword for the new book, They've Crossed the Line: A Patriot's Guide to Religious Freedom, as follows:

Is it still safe to live out our Christian faith in an increasingly secularized and hostile society? Do we risk being punished at school or on the job if we dare to take a stand for Christ? Can we be forced to shut up and sit down when we try to speak for Jesus in the public square? What are our legal rights as American Christians in post-Christian America?

Stephen Bloom and Kerriel Bailey’s book, They’ve Crossed the Line: A Patriot’s Guide to Religious Freedom, provides concise easy-to-understand legal answers for the everyday religious freedom questions Christians face in their lives and communities. And there’s good news! In most cases, the law says, “Yes, you still have the right to be a Christian at school, at work, and everywhere else!”

Each chapter begins with a short fictional vignette drawn from real-life controversies and circumstances. The stories are engaging, but intentionally unresolved, setting the stage for the legal counsel to follow. The tone of the counsel is simple and direct, to connect with the non-attorney readers for whom the book is written. The relevant concepts are boiled down to plain English.

Mr. Bloom and Mrs. Bailey are legal scholars in the tradition of our founding fathers. Our nation’s founders knew the essential importance of religious liberty. The American Revolution was as much about liberty as it was about taxation. In 18th Century America the term “pursuit of happiness” meant the pursuit of the morally right. The free exercise of religion is that pursuit of happiness. Readers of this book will be encouraged and empowered to engage the culture as bold witnesses for their faith.

The book will embolden believers to break free from the false constraints of prevailing misconceptions. Misconceptions popularized and perpetuated by the anti-Christian secular Left and its allies in law, media, education, and entertainment that Christians are legally relegated to the status of passive observers on the sidelines of American life.

People of faith aren’t just allowed to participate vigorously in the public arena of our democracy, they are called to do so. Bloom and Bailey’s book will give them a clear path to participation.

Welcome! It's time to reclaim our religious freedom!

Christians in America face more and more hostility toward the free exercise of our basic religious liberties. At work, at school, in the public square, even in our own churches and ministry organizations, we find ourselves being told to sit down and shut up.

It's time for us to stop being intimidated. It's time for us to stand up, speak up, and reclaim our basic constitutional legal rights to boldly live out our faith!

Thank you and God bless,
Stephen Bloom, Esq.
