Verna Hall's classic compilation of America's establishment as the world's first Christian Constitutional Republic restored to us the Providential approach to history and government. From this major volume springs the documentation of the Hand of God in the history of men and nations. The Christian idea of man and government traveled westward to America to appear as our American Constitutional Republic.

This review is from: The Christian History of the Constitution of the United States of America (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)

This book is incredible! If you want to know a great book on the history of the Constitution, and well as some good history on the United States, this is for you. The library of books from the Foundation for American Christian Education [...] is outstanding.

If you are raising a family, homeschooling, or starting a church, this (with its accompanying books) is a must have/must read.

A previous review should not reflect badly on this book; it is worth the time and the money (although both the cost and the time it would take to read it is considerable)!

This review is from: The Christian History of the Constitution of the United States of America (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)

It's always interesting to me when people don't read a book, but are compelled to draw things out of thin air and present them as if they are all wise and knowing, therefore it must be right. CHOC is one of the most documented books you will ever find about the founding of this country, and it's Christian Roots. It has a companion book by Rosalie Slater entitled Teaching and Learning, so you can use it as a curriculum. The best thing about these books are that they use Primary Source documentation. They don't rely on the rumor mill of modern thinkers. Quotes are verbatim, some even in the difficult to read old english grammar and spelling. You will learn, if you read it, that our Christian forebears, who fled from State Churches, were not interested in setting up new state churches, but they were intently set on taking the governmental principles from Old and New Testament, and applying them into our laws, things such as Representative government, consent of the governed, protection of property, protected rights for all, liberty under the law. There was no force feeding required, because it was not in the character of God, it should not be in our character. You, if you read it, will be refreshed by a past that has been taken from us, and hopefully, if you read it, you will be favorably changed in your perspective about who we are as a country, and what is still left to be done for freedom in the world. Get it, and read it.

What a wonderful and well written resource. I wish I would have had this kind of history education when I went to school! I am learning truths that were never taught or glossed over. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the REAL history of the U.S.
