LONGWOOD, FL-Throughout the long and storied history of America, the miraculous power of God has been ever-present. From the time Columbus set sail with three caravels across the ocean, to the War of Independence and beyond, America survived, grew, and developed into the greatest nation against all odds. Given the renewed interest in the colorful Judeo-Christian heritage of our country--thanks in part to the works of authors such as Peter Marshall and David Manuel--it is important we continue to look at how these principles had a positive impact on American society in its formative years and how we can apply them to our lives today. Told from a Christian perspective, Xulon Press author Robert M. Riffle's new release, The Miracle of Independence (paperback, 978-1-60647-153-1), spotlights how God has used His invincible, miraculous power to protect, promote, and preserve this, the greatest nation in the history of the world.

Says Riffle, "It is my hope that my readers will have a great realization that God is active in the affairs of nations. I hope my readers will become aware that God will intervene on behalf of the godly in any nation if they are in right standing with Him."

Riffle, who has always had a passion for history ever since he was exposed to it in primary school, went to college with the intention of becoming a history teacher. After receiving a bachelor's degree in history--and later rounding out his academic background with graduate courses in history and political science--the author taught history for thirty years. It was during these years that Riffle observed the need to make people aware of God's divine purpose for America and resolved to write a book about it.
