Christopher Columbus' journal reveals that he was not only a man of God, but that his voyage in 1492 was motivated in part by his evangelistic zeal. Written in narrative, this story concludes with a discussion of the conflicts and controversies that suddenly surrounded the navigator during the quincentennial celebration of his accomplishment.

Great for use with Principle Approach or Bible Principles Education...,
By History Buff (Bluegrass State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Crusader: The Untold Story of Christopher Columbus (Paperback)
Great overview of the man Columbus was, though I realize there are various opinions on this.. Columbus original writings & diaries are the best source, and he does seem to suggest that he realized his mission was a spiritual one.

Pro-Canonization Propaganda,
By Brian Kenneth Swain (Helotes, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Crusader: The Untold Story of Christopher Columbus (Paperback)
A relatively useless pro-Columbus and hyper-religious tract whose principal good points are its brevity and the historical chronology of events at the back. Grant argues that all historical research and conclusions concerning the negative elements of Columbus's journeys (murder, genocide, plundering, disease, you name it) and "discoveries" are so much revisionist secularism and that Columbus was doing God's work, spreading the word, etc, etc. He also finds plenty of places throughout to opine on various modern-day political views, in every instance taking the hard-line evangelical conservative view. It's worth noting that this book was published by a hyper-evangelical publishing company, seeing as how no real publisher would touch it with a ten-foot pole. Avoid this one like a pot hole, unless you view Columbus as a candidate for canonization!
