From the heights of hope to the depths of division, The Obama Effect examines America's moral, racial, and political crossroads through the election of Barack Obama and the rise of Trumpism. What many experienced as a symbol of national progress also revealed long-standing fractures-fractures that would later intensify into backlash, polarization, and the reshaping of American public life. Building upon his earlier works-including Christianity, The White Man's Religion? The Great Lie, Reclaiming Biblical Truth, and The Cause of Empire: Colonization, Civilization, Extermination, The Echoes That Built Our World-Minister Tony L. Scott, U.S. Army Veteran and retired police officer, continues his search for truth where history, faith, and conscience collide. With careful historical analysis, cultural reflection, and biblical insight, Scott traces the legacy of race, power, and ideology that continues to form the nation's moral character. Written from within a living present-when democratic norms, civic trust, and moral foundations are being tested-this book challenges readers to look beyond headlines and partisan loyalty to confront the ethical decay beneath America's current crisis. More than a political chronicle, The Obama Effect is a call to remembrance and responsibility. It urges believers and citizens toward moral courage, historical understanding, and faithful action-before history renders its final verdict.
