Book Description

October 1, 2007
So Brilliant was William Penn's American Legacy that Thomas Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independence, called him, "the greatest lawgiver the world has produced." And brilliant he was...not only because Penn's Charter of Privileges provided the framework for the United States Government but also because of the underlying freedom it provided all people. In fact, our twenty-eighth president, Woodrow Wilson, was so convinced of William Penn's contributions to America's foundation that he said, "America did not come out of New England."


Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Darrell Fields is an Every Nation pastor who moved to Pennsylvania in 1995 with his wife and three children. His first edition of "The Seed of a Nation" sold out quickly and has lead to this highly anticipated second and revised edition. In addition to pastoring, Darrell, along with his wife, Lorrie, are asked to speak across the nation regarding William Penn's contribution to the founding of the United States of America.


Lorrie and Darrell Fields met in the fall of 1983 in Hawaii and were married in April 0f 1984. They have three children. The couple pastored together until 2005 when Lorrie and Darrell transitioned from their church to pursue prompting the message of "The Seed of a Nation," through speaking engagements and book signings.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Seed of the Nation - Darrell Fields, June 20, 2006
This is an amazing snapshot into an important time of America's history. Darrell Fields has thoroughly researched and uncovered the valuable contribution left by William Penn who led the nation by his leadership and exapmle of true "Covenant". This was a fabulous read, and I totally recommend to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, July 21, 2008
What "Amazing Grace" did for a generation of people to appreciate the impact of William Wilberforce, "The Seed of a Nation" will do to integrate the principles of William Penn. This is a must read for creating a culture of Honor amongst any displaced people groups by entering into a case study of one who blazed the trail for future pioneers. This is not a scholarly book for History majors but a professional and holistic approach to how a difference was made and can be made to the dilemmas we face today. I have recommended this book to friends and to my graduate students. (Dr. Joseph Umidi).

5.0 out of 5 stars Let Freedom Ring, July 29, 2007
As Americans we can no longer think our shared history give us a common understanding of the meaning of freedom. Since William Penn's contributions to US History set the tone for freedom, it is wise to know what Penn meant and why. The Fields have done an excellent job of consolidating the evidence for Penn rightful place in US History as a spiritual and political leader. Penn called his colony a Holy Experiment so if you don't have a spiritual aptitude you won't tract well with the Fields' approach. For me this is the first books that I have read on Penn that attempts to engage with Penn's ideals and bring those thoughts into current events. Brillant!
