How did the Founding Fathers view the Bible?

In this fourth volume of Profiles of Valor, Mrs. Boyer reminds her readers of the sacredness that early leaders and founders of our nation held God's Word with and their condition that those who live in our nation must hold to it as well for the nation to continue on.Their morals and character were based upon it. Book 4 demonstrates some of these characteristics as it records men and women who participated in pivotal moments of the Revolutionary War and brought about many great turns of events in the quest for our nation’s freedom. They then used God’s Word as the foundation for our country’s guiding documents (the Constitution and the Bill of Rights) as the federal government was formed in the following years. I found particularly interesting the chapter on Thomas Jefferson and his relationship with the Word of God, particularly the words of Jesus Christ. Notable quote by Alexis de Toqueville: “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.” p. 124 Hopefully readers will be challenged to get back to the Word of God as the basis for life and morals. Geared for middle and high schoolers. This reader will be particularly meaningful to those studying the founding documents of the United States.
