America is unique. No other nation in the world has experienced the widespread levels of stability, individual prosperity, and personal freedoms that have defined this nation. What made us different from other nations? Was it the people, the principles, or the blessing of God? It was all three, and they caused America to become the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.

Our past is filled with captivating accounts of the brave and the cowardly; of heroes and villains; of atrocities, corruption, and greed as well as self-sacrifice, honor, and redemption. America is not perfect. Yet we have a compelling story of those seeking religious and civil freedom, escaping oppression, pursuing opportunity, and often joining hands to achieve common goals. The American Story highlights this cooperation and presents some of the interesting moments and people that reveal God's Providence in America. We have a fascinating history that must be remembered.

An absolute must read for any American history lover. Amazing stories of the founding of our country that I have never heard. I am actively redeeming my public school education and will be sharing this book!

Always great to hear the true history of how American became a great nation and the heroes who fought so hard for us.

This was a surprise to me! I never learned where our Founding Fathers looked to design the foundation of United States. Too bad this isn’t required reading in our schools today.

This book is an American treasure & useful (if not indispensable) resource. The reader’s steady, cadence (and occasional dramatization) made this an easily “digestible” experience.

A well thought out & reasoned defense of the importance & influence of the Bible in America’s founding & rise.

Rebuttal to lies propagated by those who believe they know the truth and refuse to admit it is not!
