- Revised version coming
What if God treated whole countries corporately they way He treated individuals? What if He had a purpose and plan for America, the way He has a purpose and plan for you and for me?

That's the premise of a terrific series of books by the Rev. Peter Marshall, son of the famed U.S. Senate chaplain, and his co-author David Manuel. Together they wrote The Light and The Glory, From Sea To Shining Sea, and Sounding Forth the Trumpet.

In the first volume, The Light and The Glory, Marshall and Manuel open their survey of American history by tracing its roots back to the earliest European explorers. The traditional school textbook notes that Columbus was looking for a shorter route to the Indies and stumbled upon America by accident. Marshall and Manuel tell a different story:

- The Light and the Glory
Peter Marshall has done a lot of good research into this book about America before the Civil War. It is informative as well as "entertaining" in that it is well-written and flows smoothly. My husband has enjoyed reading it and is talking to everyone about it.
The book arrived quickly and is in beautiful shape.

This volume of early American history is limited in its scope, covering a period of about 300 years from Columbus through the colonial era, the Revolution, and the Washington presidency.

Peter Marshall and David Manuel, both Yale alumni, seek to discover our country's earliest spiritual heritage and how it relates to the moral and cultural degeneration they were observing in 1977, and that continues today.

The authors begin with Columbus, whose early missionary ardor to bear the light of Christ to the New World was ultimately corrupted by the powerful lures of wealth, prestige and power. Next come fairly detailed examinations ... Read More

- An amazingly well-researched book
This book details how to achieve great things by serving God first. It shows us what we must do to get our country back on the track of democracy. Even though it seems like we have completely lost our way, all we have to do is turn whole-heartedly to God and ask for His help. The story of how our forefathers did this is wonderful and inspiring.
