100 Bible Verses That Made America: Defining Moments That Shaped Our Enduring Foundation of Faith

By Robert J. Morgan

Book Overview

Bestselling author Robert Morgan explores 100 Bible verses that powerfully impacted our leaders during defining moments in American history and reflects upon what these verses mean for us as a nation today.

100 Bible Verses That Made America is a tour through the biblical roots of American history--a powerful exploration of our country's founders, leaders, and the critical moments that laid the foundation for the formation of the USA. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America.

When George Washington was sworn into office as our first president, he did not place his hand on the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, as important as those documents are. Instead, he swore upon and even kissed the Bible to sanctify this important moment. The Bible, Washington knew, had ushered American history to this point.

While not every Founding Father was a Christian, each was knowledgeable about the Bible. And while none of them was perfect, many embraced a deep faith in the unfailing Word of God.

100 Bible Verses That Made America contains:

Short, devotional-style chapters, each featuring a Bible verse and how it influenced a historical figureEngaging stories spanning from the Mayflower to modern dayVivid segments that emphasize the Bible as the cornerstone of American history

Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he shares the Bible's role in the defining moments of American history and its impact on the people of our nation, reminding us of the beauty of faith and country and reigniting our passion for both.

Introduced Me to Stories I Had Never Heard

I’ve always loved American history (pursued my degree in it) and recently got into the role religion played in the formation of the nation. This book was fantastic — there were countless (well, not necessarily, since there’s only 100 chapters in the book…) stories that I had never heard of, like the 1746 French Naval expedition to sack Boston, and the prayer/sermon that turned it back. Reading this book gives you a much more optimistic view of American history, without being blind to the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which is something we really need since it has become much more popular to take a cynical and pessimistic view on America and its heritage.

i received this book for Christmas - best gift ever!

I learned a lot about America's spiritual heritage. It's easy to read in 2-3 page sections. A MUST READ.
