Oh, Say Can You See?

Oh, Say Can You See? challenges readers to confront the moral and spiritual turmoil reshaping modern America—and to seek biblical truth in a time of deep cultural confusion.

In this compelling book, syndicated radio host and pastor Greg Patten examines the growing crisis facing our nation and asks the questions many believers are quietly wrestling with: What is happening to our culture? Has America drifted from God’s protection? And what does Scripture reveal about times like these?

Drawing from his Living in Today’s World insights, Dr. Patten explores the cultural shifts that have produced what he describes as a vortex of moral decline engulfing contemporary society. From addictions and artificial intelligence to cancel culture, attacks on the family, greed, pride, and the new sexual revolution, he carefully analyzes the forces reshaping American life—and the spiritual consequences that follow when a nation turns away from God.

Grounded firmly in Scripture, including passages such as Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 17, Oh, Say Can You See? calls both citizens and the Church to renewed faithfulness. Dr. Patten outlines the attitudes, convictions, and actions needed to guide believers through an era marked by rebellion, deception, and moral uncertainty.

More than a cultural critique, this book is a call to spiritual clarity and renewed hope. By examining today’s turmoil through the lens of God’s Word, Oh, Say Can You See? encourages readers to open their eyes to the times—and to turn again to the Bible as the ultimate guide for truth, wisdom, and the path forward.
