Socialcide: How America Is Loving Itself to Death by
Leo J. Battenhausen is a fascinating book that presents America’s plight from a
nation once under God to a godless society.
The author states, “My conscience kept bringing me back to the need to
present the plague of problems that we face in America today as a growing
absence of God and goodness in our culture.”
His focus is multi-faceted and from a socialistic, psychosomatic and
spiritual perspective; the author also describes the younger generation known
as the “Millennial” born from 1980 to 2000 to be an increasingly narcisstic
society, lacking in family values/morals that has led to a huge “nosedive” as
the author states, in society as a whole – but as you will see the lack of
God’s values, parenting and social skills has complicated this matter. In hopes of diagnosing the problem and
giving an understanding of the spiritual side of the physical realm we live in
on earth, the author has given an antidote: return to the God of the Bible,
values and kindness before we as a nation, are utterly destroyed from the
inside out.
Unequivocally, America has become a selfish and greedy
county, self-absorbed and is trying to push God out of the consciences of the
souls of America to Satan’s delight.
Addressing moral and spiritual dilemmas of our nation, the author first
focuses on the family crises that exist in our nation. The author briefly states how life was in
1978, compared to how life is today with all the technology and the loss of
social interaction and parental guidance.
This is one of those books that opens eyes and brings insight from an
author with a clinical background as a psychologist, offering hope that in
“knowledge” America will wake-up to the fact to spirituality and understand the
difference between good and evil; leading others to a knowledge of God that are
for mankind’s own good.
Within this, the author has stepped out of the realm of his
profession to write something “out of the box” not based on clinical data,
studies and theory; rather, Battenhousen has connected the dots (so to speak)
to understanding the human condition and restoring families back to God. Filled with impactful quotes, the author
states his case throughout that never before has America witnessed such a moral
decline and prevalence of evil, lust, greed and self-indulgence. His hopes are that many will understand the
plight of America’s woes and turn back to God, in hopes of restoring core
family beliefs and values within a Christian foundation
