Hold on to your seats Christians! Author David Fiorazo has written a timely, intriguing, energizing and quite transparent book about God being removed from our culture. This Holy Spirit-inspired anointed work was exactly what I needed to kick me out of the complacency which I had not realized until reading this book had crept into my Christian lifestyle.
Of course we hear of false teachers in the "last days" and we take in tidbits of this and that about teachers that we had once idolized in our Christian walk whom are now falling away. But we still buy the slightly controversial (watered-down feel good Christianity) books, cd's and tune in every now and then on the radio and tv and often actually feel comforted by the casualness Christianity has become in our culture.
However, after reading Eradicate (the most challenging chapters which were Chapters 12 & 13), I am emboldened to look around and realize that the heat has been turned up on the proverbial "pot" of simmering water. Thanks to Eradicate, this toad is jumping out now because I know I am in a bit of hot water even though my comfort zone of Christianity had been telling me otherwise 'til now!
I recommend everyone who picks up this book read the Intro. Powerful! Also, I appreciated the footnotes, Scripture and excellent references throughout. Being a fan of Bonhoeffer, I appreciated the quote, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak; not to act is to act." Another quote which I did not note its origin (read the book!), "Too many believers are rolling over and hitting the snooze button." Page 36 was eye opening with its explanation of the true meaning of church and state as the original framers intended. Boy! the President, Judges, Congress and Senate need to read every word of Chapter 2!
I recommend Eradicate for everyone who is looking to be the best they can be in these last (evil)days. If you are a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you need this book. We must not be deceived. This book offers many nuggets of wisdom and weapons for your arsenal - more than I can mention in this brief review. Buy a copy today. You will read it in one sitting. It is that energizing and (spoiler) convicting. You will never be the same. Now excuse me, I have to go find a very deceived Christian (are there levels of being deceived?) in my Sunday School class who definitely needs to read Chapter 12....

Upon cracking open the canister, one cannot help but smile. The strawberry scent was quite present. Yum! Each large tea bag made a quart of iced tea. I added boiling water to my glass pitcher and steeped on the counter until cool. I did not add ice but chilled in the fridge. I like my tea very potent and so I did add ice to my guest's glass (but not mine), and I also added fresh sliced strawberry and fresh basil mashed in my herb pestle into our glasses. I am sure it would be beautiful to freeze strawberries and mashed basil in ice cube trays and add to your guests glasses. Pretty!
I have a confession. While reviewing this iced tea I realized I was coveting The Republic of Tea's Double Infusion pitcher. This pitcher has just been added to my Christmas in July list. (I have been very very good Santa) I would be 4 ounces short of 3 quarts so that would mean triple the Strawberry Basil Iced Tea. Perfect for the entire week.
The Republic of Tea's Strawberry Basil Iced Tea was super tasty for the entire week, summer, and all year 'round here in hot sunny South Florida.

The 1.5 oz canister of Biodynamic Heirloom Chamomile steeps 36 cups of tea. However, I like my nighttime tea strong so that it can replace my melatonin and urge me onward to bed early for some deep zzz's. This tea did not disappoint. I poured just about 9 oz of boiling purified water over 2 round (love round tea bags) unbleached tea bags. I steeped the full 7 minutes with a glass dome over the top so that my tea would still be steamy when I was ready to sip (hey - we crank the A/C high here in South Florida in June!). I added honey just before sipping. Ahhh...breathe in the health.
My husband and I have made a habit of enjoying hot tea before bed. We chew on some fennel seed while the kettle boils for our steamy tea. Often I will make him green or white tea. I drink whatever tea I fancy at the moment.
One night, I substituted The Republic of Tea Biodynamic Heirloom Chamomile for him without telling him. He mentioned while he was sipping this tea that he really liked our tradition of drinking hot tea before bed. He mentioned how good this tea was. I did not tell him I swapped out his old usual green or white for a sleepier version. I smiled when we headed off early to bed and soon after heard him snoring.
Best of all, (and even better than inducing a sleep state) this tea is grown on a small 100-acre organic garden at the base of the Italian Alps. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make sure this tea was truly organic (and it is!). As if that were not enough to make me want to stock my entire tea box with Biodynamic Heirloom Chamomile....while we were sleeping, these tea leaves were being harvested at night when their essential oils are at their peak. Kind of an ironic twist on an amazing tea. Someone in Italy is working hard long into the night to provide me and my hubby with a tea that can send us to bed early. Mmm -- this tea is the only sleepy tea for me!
