Product Description:
This sequel to the best-selling The Light and the Glory covers that fragile time in our history from 1787 to 1837 when newborn America faced many challenges and overcame her growing pains by clinging to the Christian faith that was her heritage.

- Truth bows to no man....yet all men will one day bow before the truth."

I could pontificate profusely in many directions regarding the stalwort undertaking that is: "From sea to shining sea". Yet, I am moved most ardently to simply say this:

"Those who will not remember the mistakes of the past, are doomed to repeat them." - George Santayana (aphorism)

As our nation is fast falling so far from what was once blessed upon her, please consider studying the facts and find out for yourselves that God's Hand is not finished working upon this nation that He founded.

Google: fifty states preambles

To deny that the United States of America is founded as a Christian nation under God, is to hide from truth in willful ignorance.

"Heroism in defense of willful ignorance, is perhaps the most tragic form of cowardice."

And remember, "Those who will not stand for something, will usually fall for anything."

- Check Into It
I liked this book better than The Light And The Glory. It is true, and must be admitted by those who look at history objrctively, that the Christian religion has had an enormous impact on the course of events in the United States . . . much more so than secular historians would have us believe. My favorite part was the minute account of the Second Great Awakening - particuarly the revival meetings in Kentucky. But these books, in and of themselves, are not going to give an individual a balenced view of U.S. history. It is just too biased. The authors have attempted to put a religous construction on all key events, and on all key men behind those events. Too much gloss. But you won't regret reading it. It's good reading, and I learned a lot from it.

- innacurate, nationalistic hubris
Texts like these are best kept in the religious tract section of the bookstore. The authors did indeed do a good job researching trivial details, which makes the text read like a novel and gives it an air of authority.

As a high school AP American history teacher, I'd like to use this book in my class to show my students an example of the kind of mythologizing that can lead to international misunderstanding and war... but I'm afraid of helping the authors earn their royalties. A cursory examination of the sample pages alone reveals at least 3 historical errors.

The authors unapologetically subscribe to an "American exceptionalist" school of thought. Students should be taught the danger of believing that God is on the side of your coutry, of equating Deuteronomy-era Israel with modern-day America (or any other country). Do we want to teach our children to attack people who don't agree with ... Read More

- Leaves more questions than it answers
This is an example of Christian "scholarship" at close to its worst. In fact, there are so many problems with this book that it is hard to know where to start. The authors presume to know God's will for America -- a pretty big assumption in itself -- and try to use evidence to support it. The problem is, they disregard anything that can't fit into their nice New England Calvinist box. For example, there is little or no discussion of the slavery question and the Constitutional Convention, even from a Christian perspective. In addition, the ramifications of Manifest Destiny to the Native Americans and the future of America are ignored.

Even worse, the authors try to squeeze in their own political views by trying to draw a straight line from the Federalists of Washington's era to the Republicans of today and Jefferson's Democrat-Republicans to the modern Democratic Party. This especially came out when they ... Read More
