The Faith of our Founders, so aptly described by the author, is a vital part of our heritage as a nation too many people, including many of our religious, government, and educational leaders today have either forgotten or consider irrelevant. Yet, it was the teachings of Christianity, so eloquently and repeatedly expressed in their statements and writings, that provided the foundation for the nation, its government, and democratic principles which the Founders established. The Founders, Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and the others repeatedly emphasized that the morals, virtues, and values of Judeo-Christianity were absolutely essential to the prosperity and security of the democratic republic they were building. Today, many who hold to the ideology of secular-liberalism, seek to draw the nation away from its Judeo-Christian roots and the vision and values of our Founders. This is the greatest internal danger facing our nation. Washington said that no man should consider himself a patriot who would draw the nation away from its fundamental Christian heritage and roots. Illiteracy concerning our nation's founding, its Christian roots, and the beliefs of our Founders is common today because of the failure of our educational institutions to follow the advice of the Founders. Hopefully, more books like this will serve to awaken the people. If you liked this book, you will also like "Divine Love / Divine Intolerance" which gives clear perspective on the "tolerance" of secular liberalism, how its meaning has been corrupted today, and the corrosive effects of this corruption on Church, Government, Education, and SocietyDIVINE LOVE / DIVINE INTOLERANCE
