The Declaration of Independence not only explains why America is just in her cause to separate from England, it pleads that all men are endowed by God with inalienable rights, rights that England had violated. When a government no longer fulfills the purpose to which their power was granted, it is time to break the bonds. The Declaration explains in detail why the patriots believed King George had acted in a tyrannical manner; and though they had tried humbly for relief, they were instead given even more injury. Therefore, they reasoned that King George is no longer fit to reign over a free people. ...I shall not undertake to say where the line between Great Britain and the colonies should be drawn; but I am clearly of opinion, that one ought to be drawn, and our rights clearly ascertained. I could wish, I own, that the dispute had been left to posterity to determine, but the crisis is arrived when we must assert our rights, or submit to every imposition, that can heaped upon us... George Washington to Bryan Fairfax, August 24, 1774 The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. Thomas Jefferson, "The Rights of British America," 1774 And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy The story of how colonial America, under the rule of England, became a nation unto its own sizzles with faith inside the hearts and biographies of the founding fathers. America's scrappy, sloppy ragtag army was ill prepared, but their unwavering belief in the right of freedom under God held back the greatest military might in the world. Includes biographies of all signers of the Declaration with many faith-based quotes, fact sheets with a Christian focus for each of the original 13 states, complementary Bible verses for each signer and state, original rhymes for the signers in helping to remember each one, illustrations. Almost 400 pages, 8-1/2" x 11". Includes sections on early Christmas, on early Education, and on Slavery/the agony it caused within the hearts of the founders and how Christians enlightened the conscience of the country. Organization of DAR is highlighted.

About the Author
Having descended from a Revolutionary War Patriot, K. L. Kraemer has had a life-long interest in and love for the history of America's founding. Recently, there has been much discussion over whether or not America's heritage is Christian, and this book was written in order to show that our founders were indeed Christians and/or approved of the merits of Christianity in founding our nation and its laws. The concept of 'Godly Minds, Bold Hearts' has caught on and is now the title of a patriotic Facebook group. Author has written several Christian devotions, poems, and conservative articles over the years. This book has been her biggest writing project to date.

The Truth about the American Revolution,
This review is from: Godly Minds, Bold Hearts (Perfect Paperback)
Godly Minds, Bold Hearts is a treasure. It contains a wealth of information about the founding of America. It explains how our American form of government was born. The Founding Fathers sacrificed their lives and property so that we could be free from tyranny.
Godly Minds, Bold Hearts is loaded with excellent quotes from our greatest heroes. Listen to the immortal words of these American Patriots: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness . . . -The Declaration of Independence The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time. . . . -Thomas Jefferson Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature. -Benjamin Franklin The people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. -William Penn It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. -Patrick Henry Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all blessings which flow from them, must fall with them. -Jedediah Morse The following quotes show us that Americans today are fighting in the same war as the Founding Fathers--as the Tyrants of the world try to stamp out Liberty, Godliness, and Christianity. These words are just as relevant today as when they were first spoken by our greatest American heroes. The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite. -Thomas Jefferson And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. -John F. Kennedy The fact that the war against Liberty is still going on proves that we haven't lost it. There's hope for America yet. Listen to these inspiring words from Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech: The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations . . . Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. Every school child in America needs to hear this speech. And this is one example of what you will find in Godly Minds, Bold Hearts. It's an excellent textbook on American History. We've made it a permanent part of our Homeschool library. I absolutely love this book. It inspires me, and reminds me of what it means to be an American. I recommend it to everyone who loves America. Thank you, Kara Kramer, for teaching us the truth about the American Revolution.

A Wealth of Information,
By Tracy Keck "Reader, Writer, Reviewer" (Sunny, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Godly Minds, Bold Hearts (Perfect Paperback)
I am so thankful that once again, I'm able to a review a patriotic, historical, in-depth book. "Godly Minds, Bold Hearts: Behind the American Defense Against Tyranny" by K.L. Kraemer provides a wealth of information about our Godly heritage and history. It is filled with facts, quotes, biographies of the founding fathers, texts of documents, pictures, Scripture, songs, and more. Also included is a listing of American clubs, societies and organizations that serve traditional American values of God, Home and Country. There is a special tribute section to the Daughters of the American Revolution.
This fantastic book is more like a text or reference book, not really one to be read straight through. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves (true) American history, is patriotic, or would like a source that easily backs up the fact that America began as a Christian nation, and will not only survive, but thrive only if it remains one. It would be a wonderful addition to home resource library.
