Thanks for the post. Here is a good link from the Library of Congress. I keep it book marked as it comes in very handy.

Religion and the Founding of the American Republic

Be sure and check out the date that Congress instructed its Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles.

Great...if you love this country and her true history (and I know you do) then you are going to love it and will use it in your household and amongst your friends.

Thank you my friend. Spread the word...the more of this material out there, especially amongst the youth, the better.

I'll trust your recommendation, but if they wrote "the evidence is their"...well, I hope they did not!

Might have to buy this one... looks like a winner.

btw, John Adams (the newer one from last year, forget who by) is a great read as well. Adams is a true patriot and believer in limited government (and human as well).

That was entirely MY BAD...my screw-up as I wrote it down...and now I am very embarrassed because I am sure I repeated the mistake on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

By David McCullough? Got it and read it too. This quote of his is my absolute favorite.
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."- John Adams, Oct. 11, 1798

Ditto everything you said in your review. This book is a superbly researched and well written history.

Every Freeper should have it in their library. I wish very American child was given a copy of 'A Patriot's History......' as their school textbook.

"Any chance you'll do an audio version of this book?"

Here's another one who'd be interested in an audio version.
