Just took a look at the book. It's a textbook (High School to College level, I'd say). If anyone sees this and has a home schooling ping list, feel free.... Or, if anyone like me, would like to have a synopsis --with pictures, no less!

Gary Amos and Richard Gardiner
If you like THE AMERICAN COLONISTS LIBRARY, you need to read Never Before in History. This important and scholarly new book documents the way in which the American colonial experience was permeated with religion. This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the dominant socio-political and socio-cultural milieu of early America.
Feedback about Never Before In History:
"Among all of the reading I've done while completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in American history this book ranks as the best work I have ever read on the colonial and revolutionary periods. Simply masterful from start to finish, Gardiner and Amos artfully fashion a wonderful portrait of the genesis of our nation. Leaving aside the superficial and the cliche so characteristic of such works, the authors penetrate to the roots of the American experience and gently expose and deflate a whole lot of bloated revisionists history in the process. This book will revolutionize its readers understanding of the origins of America."
-- Raymond Cannata
"Never Before is ... of the highest scholarly quality and should be required reading for those who teach and those who take American History in all our schools."
-- Professor Harold J. Berman, Harvard Law School (emeritus)
"I do not believe that there has been a time since the War Between the States that such a need for books of this kind has existed. Careful research, accurate history, and a passionate devotion to the great principles upon which this nation was established combine to make this book an ideal answer to that pressing need."
-- D. James Kennedy, Ph.D.
"Never Before in History shows, convincingly, that Christian writers before, during, and after the Reformation supported many of the ideas that led to the American founding."
-- Professor Thomas G. West, University of Dallas
"Nicely written, and beautifully laid out -- an excellent piece of work"
-- Peter Marshall
