description: Faith &amp; Freedom shatters most popular misconceptions about America's history and tells the true story of of an idea never before enacted in the founding of a country -- the idea of freedom. And America is in the midst of a crisis of identity, says Hart, "because its past is being obliterated by revisionist historians and modern prejudices."The myth that religious faith is incompatible with freedom is simply wrong, says "America's founding fathers understood that faith and freedom go together, that one cannot survive without the other."This is a dramatic, fact-filled narrative, containing moving portraits of some of freedom's greatest heroes and martyrs. The volume is packed with crucial information largely omitted from today's history texts.Vitally relevant today as we watch the dramatic increases in government power and the erosion of individual liberty, Hart's book traces this alarming trend directly to the decline of religious influence in American society.
