About the Book
If You Can Keep It is at once a thrilling review of America’s uniqueness, and a sobering reminder that America’s greatness cannot continue unless we truly understand what our founding fathers meant for us to be. The book includes a stirring call-to-action for every American to understand the ideals behind the “noble experiment in ordered liberty” that is America. It also paints a vivid picture of the tremendous fragility of that experiment and explains why that fragility has been dangerously forgotten—and in doing so it lays out our own responsibility to live those ideals and carry on those freedoms. Metaxas believes America is not a nation bounded by ethnic identity or geography, but rather by a radical and unprecedented idea, based upon liberty and freedom. It’s time to reconnect to that idea before America loses the very foundation for what made it exceptional in the first place.

“THANK YOU! I needed to let you know the profound impact your book has had on my 75 year old father who has a deep love for America but little hope for it. I’ve been trying to share my faith with him for years. … He said it was one of the best he’s ever read! It opened his eyes to God’s intervention in the nation he loves which, in turn, opened his heart to God. For the FIRST time we had real conversation about God and the transforming power of the gospel on a culture. He has purchased ten copies for friends! Hoping I can steal it back for him… considering my daughter and I have yet to read it!”

“In his new book, If You Can Keep It, Eric Metaxas demonstrates once again his ability to deal with serious matters in a way that manages to be at once profound and thoroughly entertaining. A rare gift. This book has made me think in ways that I haven’t in years. Metaxas is a major writer. Not to be missed.”
