As I said in postings about a few other books, I've been reading American history biographies for a few years. This is an excellent addition to that list.
From the Introduction...
While our forefathers set forth the ideal of what this natin could become, it was immensley more difficult to carry out and ensure this ideal for all men and women. It is a profound task that continues to this very day.
When studying the founding of the United States, one thing that you can't help but encounter is the faith of our forefathers. Time and time again our forefathers recognized God's hand in the shaping of this nation. You will find Him mentioned repeatedly in their words and documents.
When we decided to embark upon creating this book, we decided to use King David from the Bible as our model. He as a man afer God's own heart, but he was also a murderer and adulterer. And though David repented of his errors, they haunted him the rest of his life. In the same way, our forefathers left wome things undone, and along the way our nation plunged into some dark traditions.
This book is a collection of short stories about our heritage. Each short story could have - and has had - entire books written about its subject. .......It is our hope that you enjoy reading these stories as much as we did discovering them.
Read Well..............
