Product Description

History Comes Alive In A Fun Way!

“God cannot support this free and blessed country unless Christians take a stand for what is right. They must vote for honest leaders and do their duty to their country as a part of their duty to God.” —Charles Finney

Down through our nation’s history, men and women have taken a stand for right. They came seeking religious freedom and found that their faith in God played a role in many life-changing decisions—in discovering new territories, in setting up new governments, in establishing what was fair and just for all. These are their stories. . . .

In God We Trust presents factual information in a fun and lively way. Each
narrative story highlights a person in history, focusing on how that person’s faith in God played an important part in the development of America. Christopher Columbus, Father Marquette, Abigail Adams, Daniel Webster, Abraham Lincoln, Hiram Revels, and many more, come alive through the colorful illustrations, delighting young and old alike.

These men and women of differing backgrounds and nationalities, brought to our nation a collective heritage of faith in God that stands the test of time and allows us the freedom of religion today. Their stories will build your faith and strengthen your trust in God for the future of our nation.

“This book will become a key for you to appreciate that our nation’s greatness and security rest upon faith in God.” —Senator John Ashcroft

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" and perfect for your home library, November 27, 1999

By	Time2Read "Time2Read" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In God We Trust: Stories of Faith in American History (Hardcover)

This book is a treasure - it seems to be one of a kind! It provides a coupling of American History and people of Christian faith. The very short stories about fifty people from 1000 through 1900A.D.(from Lief Ericson through Katherine Lee Bates), are factual, brief, and interesting with colorful illustrations. My four-year old son loves this book to be read to him, especially at bedtime. Although (and I am guessing) this book was probably intended for middle-school aged children, I believe it is terrific for all ages----even myself!--as I have not only "brushed up" on my memory of American History, but have also learned a great deal from reading this book. It is non-offensive to any age group. For parents who want to give their children an early start in this subject matter (especially those who are home-schooling or following the Glenn Doman approach to educaation----this is outstanding and a must for your home library.) I hope the author produces more books of similar quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Child's Treasure Chest of Stories, November 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: In God We Trust: Stories of Faith in American History (Hardcover)

My nephew enjoyed receiving this book as a gift, with its prominent picture of Abraham Lincoln on the front, along with other famous Americans. Many of these stories cover the same individuals he is studying in school. It is always nice to let children read outside books. All the Americans discussed have made true contributions to our young republic, and serve well as role models. A recommended book for any public or private library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of 50 patriots., July 20, 2007

By	R. Anderson (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is written for Jr. High readers; however, even adults can gain much knowledge from it. It contains well-researched facts about the U.S.A.'s spiritual heritage. I bought several to use as gifts.
