Publisher Description
AMERICA IS UNIQUE. No other nation in the world has experienced the widespread levels of stability, individual prosperity, and personal freedoms that have defined this nation. What made us different from other nations? Was it the people, the principles, or the blessing of God? It was all three, and they caused America to become the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.
Our past is filled with captivating accounts of the brave and the cowardly; of heroes and villains; of atrocities, corruption, and greed as well as self-sacrifice, honor, and redemption. America is not perfect. Yet we have a compelling story of those seeking religious and civil freedom, escaping oppression, pursuing opportunity, and often joining hands to achieve common goals. The American Story highlights this cooperation and presents some of the interesting moments and people that reveal God's Providence in America. We have a fascinating history that must be remembered.
Customer Reviews
Biblical and Historical
Loved this book. Took so many notes. Went through most of the references. Highlighted hundreds of verses in my Bible. Told so many stories to my wife and sons. Going to buy 20 of these books and give them as gifts.
The Truth Is Enduring
Barton does a marvelous job of documenting the facts about our county’s Christian foundation. These facts remain true today despite a deliberate effort to erase them from the record. We, conservative Bible-believing citizens, need to boldly defend who we are as a people and a country. The historical foundation is solid as a rock so we can stand securely in the truth.
Outstanding!
Amazing stories of Divine Intervention and Providence before, during, and after the Founding of These United States of America. Wish this book was assigned reading in every school in the country, it really is THAT good! Glorious Purpose!
