As Americans moved from farms and small towns to large cities, they tended to lose a hallmark of their earlier life: comparatively direct participation in the discourse of pragmatic affairs. The ubiquitous radio, which became a primary medium of communication during the Great Depression, tended to make Americans listeners more than speakers about important issues. Nevertheless, as the economic catastrophe of the time evoked desires in people to express their hopes and fears for the future, Americans nevertheless tended to be reticent. They instead bestowed leadership on speakers who articulated those hopes and fears on their behalf—particularly orators who effectively utilized radio. Possessed with the ability to deliver speeches exceptionally well and to phrase ideas so eloquently as to be admired by listeners, Father Charles E. Coughlin emerged as that surrogate spokesperson for many Americans. Moreover, because the medium of radio endowed his discourse with a credibility enhanced by his own ethos, he emerged as a persuader who fulfilled the mass media role known as opinion leadership. He also capitalized on the inherent advantages of orality as a significant factor that influenced how people responded to the myriad messages of the vast communication mosaic in which Americans lived at the onset of the electronic age. Father Coughlin exemplifies that speaker who achieves the role of an opinion leader in contemporary society.

The reason why I Charles Young, am writing this book is for all people to see that God is not grievous. As it states in 1 John Ch. 5 Ver. 3 and also that the Bible is a fascinating book to read and to understand things that they might not understand out of the bible, that I do and also that they can love the word of God and not hate it and to love the truth. For years I have been inspired by the Bible and that is one of the reasons why I put this book together. It is important to me that I show my inspiration in writing, most of which people will read in this book is from my own understand of the scriptures. I think the true believers will understand where my inspiration truly comes from and I think this book will help them understand the scriptures more.
