Christianity: Lifeblood of America's Free Society, June 28, 2009
This review is from: Christianity: Lifeblood of America's Free Society (Paperback)
(Letter sent to Dr. Howard)
Dear Dr. Howard:
Your treatise on Christianity as the foundation of America's values is magnificent...
Most real students of American history will probably define your work as a pleasant easy read bringing together Christianity and America's emergence as a democracy. But to me, and many other concerned citizens, your book is much more. You defined for me why our nation is so unique: why so fragile.
Your treatise is so compelling I have read and re-read phrases, sentences, paragraphs, chapters and the entire book. I have done this in recent years only with the Bible, Pastor Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life", the Qur'an and a limited number of legal related documents/opinions.
I firmly believe your book should be required reading for every American. Your work is so basic to the future of our nation. You define the individuals, values and American spirit that made our nation excel. You examine America's "still" unique values identified in Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America". You define why our nation's citizens are morally incapable of recognizing right from wrong.
Sir, you after your wonderful military service to our nation, continue to serve and set an example for all Americans. I really cannot find adequate words to express my gratitude and thanks to you. Reading "Christianity: Lifeblood of America's Free Society" defined in explicit principles/examples my most fundamental beliefs in America.
Very Respectfully, My Sincere Thanks, Best Wishes and Prayers,
Wevley William Shea
