Riassunto

This fascinating history, based on meticulous research into the correspondence and documentation of the founding fathers leading up to and encompassing the crafting of the Declaration of Independence, sheds light on how the Judeo-Christian worldview motivated America’s founding fathers, influenced national independence, inspired our foundational documents, and established the American nation. Written with the pacing and drama of an enticing drama, Forged in Faith is crafted for popular appeal with a compelling mix of dramatized story and action-driven narrative, yet with the authenticity and academic verity of historian Rod Gragg.

Recensione:

"This is an excellent and much-needed book by a veteran historian. Well-researched and engagingly written, Forged in Faith is a pleasure to read and an indispensable starting point for a clear understanding of the origins and nature of American government and society." —Steven E. Woodworth, author of While God Is Marching On: The Religious World of Civil War Soldiers

“No wonder Americans have always proclaimed, ‘In God We Trust!’ Finally—a work of history that skillfully and accurately reveals the extraordinary story of faith and the founding of our nation. This is truly a book ‘for such a time as this.’” —J. C. Watts, former congressman from Oklahoma

"The old proverb is accurate: 'If you dwell in the past you lose an eye; if you forget the past you lose both eyes.” Our beloved America is dangerously close to losing both eyes. Books like Forged in Faith, from men like Rod Gragg, are corrective lenses intensely focused on our national roots. It is what our founding fathers wisely called “a frequent recurrence to fundamentals.' Read it and act." —Stu Weber, senior pastor of Good Shepherd Community Church, Gresham, Oregon; author of Tender Warrior; international speaker
