Lessons from Our Forefathers

To be well educated in America, citizens should become familiar with this history and know the Bible, the basis of the Christian religion, that has so defined the U.S. along with the political repercussions of faith that have impacted this country and its course of affairs. Faith in God has positive consequences for nations and individuals.

Each chapter combines examples from American history and the Bible along with personal stories and an affirmation and action step to illustrate how we can become all we were meant to be-and better chart the course for our future and the lives of generations to come.
