About this audiobook

Is Western civilization in an accelerating decline? And if it continues will it eventually weaken and cause us to come to the end of cultured civilization as we now know it? "Yes," says David Jeremiah, and in his audio book, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY! he details numerous signs of this cultural decay including:

  • America held hostage by Iran
  • Marriage becoming obsolete
  • Creeping socialism
  • The invisibility of culture's enemies
  • Increase in "spiritual warfare"
  • America turning its back on Israel
  • Atheist attack on religion
Can this downward spiral be reversed? Yes, but only if one person at a time returns to God with our heart, our manner of life, our dedication to genuine worship of God, in serving God by helping others, in our giving, and in prayer.

    I listened to this book so it was nice to hear Michael Moore tell the stories. He is a "good liberal" except he has no clue about Israel and the issues related to the creation of the state. He is a great researcher so it is amazing he did not understand the "White Paper" - early 1920 and then the things that happened until the British left in 1948. He seems to think the British favored the Jews - not true. Take a look at the immigration policy in the 1930's. Two states were created but the Arabs did not want to live near a Jew and so invaded a country. I am sure Michael Moore does not read this so myabe I should just write to him. Hats off to him - never thought Ronald Regan was the great president.

    I never would have chosen to read this book had it not been selected by one of the book clubs to which I belong. Nevertheless, I am quite happy to have read it. Subtitled "Stories from My Life," all of its chapters (except the first one) relate to events that took place before Moore’s movie, Roger and Me, was released and Moore, now an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, author, and well-known contrarian, became famous. Moore begins with his birth and babyhood in 1954, and it didn’t take long before he embarked on his career of protesting, muckraking, and agitating. He even complains about his newborn years in retrospect, expressing outrage that doctors encouraged women to feed babies (including him) “Carnation Sugared Milk-Like Fatty Liquid Yum-Yum Substance” rather than breast milk. At age 14, he got kicked out of St. Paul’s Seminary in Saginaw for asking too many questions. [He must have been very bad, indeed. My classmates at Notre Dame High School in Niles, Illinois still remember me as the boy who drove the priests crazy with my “challenges,” but they never went so far as to kick me out!]Moore then went to the local high school and got elected to conservative local school board, becoming the youngest elected official in the United States. He also founded a newspaper in high school and started an abortion hot line and crisis center. But he couldn’t get a date.As one who has seen him in his films would expect (he is portly, sloppy, and generally not considered attractive physically), he was shy and generally unsuccessful with girls in high school and college. His description of the terrors of asking an attractive girl for a date is very entertaining. Despite growing up in a conservative Catholic environment, Moore seems never to have had a Republican-leaning thought in his life. He has always sympathized with the oppressed and downtrodden, which makes for heartfelt descriptions of the treatment of blacks in the 1950’s and 1960’s. As one would expect, he vigorously opposed American involvement in Viet Nam. Nevertheless, his description of Richard Nixon, who was disgraced by the Watergate scandal and so derided that he could scarcely travel outside the White House, is poignant and almost sympathetic. Moore’s outstanding characteristic is his chutzpah. When Ronald Reagan placed a wreath on the graves of some of Hitler’s S.S. troops, Moore and a Jewish friend snuck through tight security to unveil a sign saying, “They killed my family.” His lack of fear of disapproval also enabled him to film a group of neo-Nazis and to confront the President of General Motors (Roger Smith) and the president of the National Rifle Association (Charlton Heston).Evaluation: Even while not agreeing with Moore on all issues, I found this book to be - like his movies, consistently entertaining and often downright funny.

    "Here Comes Trouble" is a book that has it all. Michael Moore wrote this book just like his movies, a little funny a little sad and extremely thought provoking. "Here Comes Trouble" is the perfect name for the book because Moore definitely caused and found trouble even at a early age from asking too many question at school to becoming the youngest elected official at the age of 18. If you enjoy his movies, especially Roger and Me you will love this book.

    worldabouttoturn.blogspot.comMichael Moore's new memoir scored off the charts on Angela's Revolutionary Memoir Do's and Don'ts. He had me from the introduction, and I liked his book even more than his films (most of which I found very enjoyable).My basic guidelines for revolutionary memoirs are as follows:** The less sex, the better narrative. **Humor and hope are vital. **Be Proud but not self-important** Let the audience rage at injustice with you.And Moore succeeded admirably in all these ways. Fortunately, he never, ever asks us to contemplate his sex life. He jokes a lot about his lack thereof, but he gets zero of his cred from bragging of sexual prowess. His trademark hilarity comes through on the page perhaps more effectively than in films. These short recollections use typically self-deprecating humor to get you laughing, then thinking. His stories about early political victories (giving a speech against racism in the Elks, running for schoolboard while still a student in the local high school) show some examples of concrete actions he took in his lifetime, not the actions of celebrity and fame but ordinary actions that any of us could take. Moore demonstrates a modest satisfaction in his accomplishments, but the book really isn't about his career making movies. It's about him being human and having human responses to the terrible injustices in the world. He avoids self-importance by telling stories of friends and family members as well as those where he is the main character. His story "Zoe," for example, about his friend who had an illegal abortion, started out humorously and focused on his affections for his friend; by the end of the story, it was tear-jearking, anger-inducing, and totally focused on Zoe's tragedy. This book took me right into the injustice alongside Michael Moore. I ended the book hopeful and laughing through tears, but really really really angry at the terrible injustices that ruin lives and steal the few beautiful years God gives us on this earth. He brought me into his righteous fury at war, at lousy boyfriends, at short-sighted authority figures, and at bigotry and cruelty everywhere. (Granted, it's not hard to bring me along into righteous fury). I stayed up late finishing the book. Simultaneously it left me wanting more stories from its author, and wanting to go into the fray righting wrong and rooting out injustice where it grows. Michael Moore is a prophetic voice, and a hell of a writer. Go find this book. Read it. You won't be disappointed.
