Great American history!
In this book, Newt Gingrich explores the subject of the role of God and the Christian religion in American history. He accomplishes this by taking us on a stroll through Washington DC. As he visits the memorials and monuments that most of us are familiar with, he explains the purpose of each monument and the deeper spiritual, Christian purpose behind each memorial.
Rediscovering GOD
The Progressives....the Moderates.....the Ultra-anythings in Washington need to be reminded that tis great nation was created upon Biblical principles.This book certainly brings that fact home. Very persuasive. Very compelling. I gave FIVE copies to my adult children for Christmas. They're heading for D.C. for two of the coming marches on the capitol (Tea Party/9-12 etc.) and will have this expert guide for where to find these special places.
Great addition to an American History study
I received a free copy of Rediscovering God in American by Newt Gingrich, from Thomas Nelson as a book reviewer.
Like it or not our nation was founded on Biblical principals that are etched in the very
monuments of our nation. After taking the tour of our national monuments through this book there can be no denying that yes, our founders knew Who it was that gave each man their freedoms and "unalienable rights."
I found this book very educational and fascinating. I doubt many people realize just how many of our great founders and leaders over the years relied on, and thanked God.
My copy did not have any colored pictures but I know the newest edition does have colored photos which really makes the book come to life for the reader.
We will be using this book in our homeschool to reinforce that even if current political correctness says we are no longer a Christian nation, we can stand firm knowing that this country and our founders held a different, higher standard.
A mediocre read
This book doesn't have a lot you havn't heard before but it's not a horrible read. It's a quick read anyways so you don't need to worry to much.
Foundational Truths
Rediscovering God in America
Reflections on the Roll of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future
by Newt Gingrich featuring the Photography of Callista Gingrich
As a reviewer for Thomas Nelson, I was given a copy of this enlightening book. Newt and Callista Gingrich have taken me on a walking tour I have yet to experience in real life. They have taken me from building to monument in and around Washington D.C. I have seen, through the beautiful photographs, intimate historical details of many of our Nation's treasures. This book was my own personal tour by two who are very familiar with the landscape of the Nations' Capitol. By all modern accounts, it would seem our country was founded on what we have become. The various inscriptions on national monuments, statues and art, depict a different story.
I was completely surprised at each stop on the photographic tour to see so many references to God; beginning in the National Archives. On the first stop of the tour, you literally walk on the foundation of all Christian belief when you enter the building, the Ten Commandments. The religious imagery, the idyllic words of our Founding Fathers, all point to the One Supreme Being of God Almighty.
True Religion affords to government its surest support. George Washington.
