Books by James Ronald Kennedy

The Christian faith of America's Founding Fathers is today under relentless attack. Those attacking our traditional Christian heritage compose a postmodern, secular humanist, neo-Marxist shadow government. This evil shadow government controls too much of American society. Beginning with the 1963 Supreme Court ruling prohibiting prayer and Bible reading in public schools, Christian America has been increasingly slouching toward Gomorrah. Who will stand in the gap and make-up the hedge? Who has a plan to defeat those who are determined to debunk all that is holy and sacred?Be Ye Separate is a call for the most churched people in America-Christians living in the Bible-Belt-to take the initiative in the fight to reclaim America's traditional moral, social and political values. To recreate a nation that will once again truly be a "nation under God" and a nation that lives up to its ancient motto "In God We Trust." James Ronald (Ron) Kennedy was born and reared in Mississippi. He received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana, Monroe, Louisiana, a Master's degree in Health Administration from Tulane University, New Orleans and a Master's of Jurisprudence in Health Law (MJ) from Loyola University Chicago.He is the co-author with his twin brother of the bestselling book The South Was Right! which sold over 135,000 copies. Their latest books include Punished With Poverty-the Suffering South. Together they have authored over 16 books.Ron is an active member of his local, conservative, Methodist church. He has been interviewed on numerous local, state, and national radio and TV programs. He is a frequent speaker at Southern Heritage organizations and other pro-Christian, pro-Liberty organizations.

It was a time when many in the South were celebrating the centennial of the "Civil War." Schools across the South made special efforts to teach lessons about the "War." Southern States celebrated the heroism of its Confederate soldiers and in 1959 the last Confederate veteran died. President Eisenhower, Chairman of the Civil War Centennial Commission, noted the death as an occasion for national mourning. Confederate flags, tags and bumper stickers were common sights across Dixie.It was also a time when many in the South were making strides toward a color-blind society, a society where people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.It was a time when the Dixie Division was a part of the U.S. Army. A unit that proudly displayed its Confederate heritage. A time when the Confederate flag was proudly associated with Southern patriotism and fidelity to the U.S.A.; the country that had invaded and destroyed our Southern homeland.It was a time very much unlike our own.It was a time WHEN REBEL WAS COOL!The Kennedy Twins are the South's most prolific pro-Southern authors. Their story of growing up in Dixie is typical of those who were raised in the intentionally impoverished rural South. This book demonstrates that while Yankees (and scalawag Southerners) get their history from books written by Yankees to glorify Yankee heroes and ideas-Southerners get our history from our family. To them history is not past-it lives in family stories about relatives who wore the gray in the War for Southern Independence.
