This awesome book should be in every home!

In a society where God is constantly under attack, this book helps put things in perspective. It's a must for any Christian. There are tons of wonderful quotes kids won't hear in the public schools. It helps fill in a portion of history that is "taboo," the part involving God. Our country's heretage is rich in divine intervention. We love this book so much, that we have started a tradition of giving it as a gift to every graduate from which we receive an announcement. I particularly like George Washington Carver's quotes for high school graduates.

Thoroughly Documented & Categorized

Any objective observer will come away from this book thoroughly convinced that the founders of the United States viewed this nation as being created by the Providence of God for His purposes. The sources overwhelmingly verify this common theme from myriad sources. Federer documents his work completely, with the end notes being available for further investigation to those so inclined. It is inspiring to realize each generation had its own set of challenges to confront. Praying people were action-oriented. They prayed, they listened to God, and they followed up accordingly. Things were changed for the positive as a result. Federer is to be further commended for showing the reflective process various thinkers have gone through. They did not blindly accept what was handed down to them necessarily, but examined the claims of Christanity for themselves, individually, tesing the spirits...and being convinced in their own individual cases that Jesus is indeed, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. These historical writings leave a legacy of well examined lives. The perponderance of the evidence shows that America was founded by Christians who were seeking to do God's will. They established a "Christian nation" which they identified as such in repeated cases. Federer even quotes people who have been obstructionists to the Gospel over the years. Even some of these people have acknowledged that the United States is a "Christian nation." The editor has done an outstanding job of bringing these myriad sources stretching out over the centuries into one volume. The sections on Christopher Columbus and George Washington are lenghty, but well worth reading. It shows, from their own journal entries their true motivation as opposed to the distortions given by some revisionist speculators.

Required Reading For All Americans !

This book proves from the mouth of the founding fathers that America, so revered now by all the countries of the world (Evey one wants to move here), was built upon Biblical Principles. Blesses are the people whose God is the Lord ... And nations that Forget God will be turned into hell (KJV Psalms). This book is not some man's interpertation of History, it is full of facts on how God made a wilderness into a fruitful land. In 400+ years the blessings of Jesus Christ made America the most prosperous land on Earth. If America forgets its Christian hertiage it will become a Wilderness again.

America's true past (now missing in history books)

This book is an EXCELLENT reference book - these quotes and ideas are what this country was founded on - they are not just non-religious bits & pieces found in today's history books. Whether you agree or disagree with each statement, this is history: these are the ideas of the Founding Fathers and the ideals that the country were founded upon. You can pick up this book anytime, open to any page, and read some of the best material you can ever find.
