The Book That Made America: How the Bible Formed Our Nation
Dear Christian Friend, Recently President Barak Obama, while on a trip abroad and without giving the matter sufficient thought, casually declared that the United States is not a Christian nation. If the President had been a little more analytical, and especially if he d read the remarkable new book you now hold in your hands, in all probability he would never have made such a statement. For page after page, from the beginning to the end, The Book that Made America by the gifted and scholarly Dr. Jerry Newcombe tells us America was born a Christian nation and has been one ever since. This book begins by exploring America s Christian roots with the Bible as the country s basic textbook, the Bible s law and covenant illustrated in the lives of the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact, becoming our guide to individual self-government, structured constitutionalism, and a free market. If you turn all the way back to this book s Appendix, what do you discover? The United States Supreme Court made it official: America Is a Christian Nation! No matter what books you now own about our Christian history, I encourage you to get this one! for an adult Sunday School or Teen Sunday School, for your pastor, or simply for your own edification. Become a more knowledgeable Christian citizen! After you learn about the significance of the Pilgrims, come visit their home in Plymouth. CHW --Nordskog Publishing's website (NordPub.com)Say that America is a Christian nation and you ll be brought up on hate crime charges or at least thought an ignoramus. But what are the facts of history? The Book That Made America demonstrates that there once was a Book even more integral to this nation than Al Gore s Earth in the Balance. I recommend Dr. Newcombe s book highly! Ann Coulter, New York Times #1 Author --Nordskog Publishing's website (NordPub.com)Jerry Newcombe s book, The Book that Made America, is already one of my treasured resources. America wasn t built on separation of church and state, but on ensuring freedom of religion and supporting the value of citizens having a vibrant faith. Instead of learning from our rich Christian heritage, we are running away from what has made this country. Being reminded of the Supreme Court s Trinity decision of 1892 that affirmed that America is a Christian nation is inspiring. That decision has never been abrogated. America never forces or nationalizes a particular faith and we are richer for that. But if you ever want a book that documents and honors our Christian underpinnings, this is the book to have in your library. I will refer to it often! Thank you for publishing this fine work.
