Was God involved in the founding of the United States of
America and in providing all freedoms we have today, including freedom of
religion? What did the Founders actually say about God and what did they pray
to God? The author presents the God sayings and prayers of the Founders from
their own original writings. Join in the drama of each Founder’s life as he or
she shares an intimate and personal conversation with God and pours out their
innermost thoughts in seeking divine guidance.
Live with the Founders as they reveal about their inner most
hopes and fears for the future of their families and their country through the
era of the Revolutionary War, the writing of the Declaration of Independence,
the adoption of the United States Constitution and on into the early years of
the 1800’s.
The author has provided scripture verses at the beginning of
the life story of each Founder. Possibly some of these same scriptures did
undergird hope and faith for the founding generation as they do for us today.
Share in the love of freedom and dreams for the future of such persons as
George and Martha Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison, Noah Webster and many others as you read in the present tense about
their love for liberty and zeal to obtain it. Questions for reflection are
included at the end of each chapter to emphasize important faith statements and
God moments in the chapter.
