What if America Found its Soul?

Waking up to Discover Your Soul is Missing....the Ultimate Nightmare

"You're spiritually empty, you know. Your life is out of spinning out of control. I see a bleak future if you don't"."

"What the hell are you talking about? As powerful and successful as I am? I believe in Jesus, I read the Bible, I go to church on Sunday....."
