view | The Making of America I have never found a more sound and more inspiring explanation of the Constitution and American government than W. Cleon Skousen's classic volume. We have often marveled at the incredible insights into our God-given form of government. The first 1/3 of the book relates history of the time that led up to the Constitution, treating the Founding Fathers with utmost respect. The remainder of the book examines the Constitution in detail. Passages from the writings of America's founders explain their intent with each clause in the Constitution. Since being well versed in the Constitution is our only hope of protecting our freedom, I believe that every family needs to learn it the best they can. Teen/adult reading level. Hardcover, 888 pages. A classic!

view | America's Providential History Studying American history has brought me such increased witness of God's hand in our nation's history! He truly guided and directed the events of America's founding. This excellent volume is unique in its content and in its aim—to show how God has led and guided this nation. I have discovered information in this book that I've never seen elsewhere. Did you know that when George Washington was sworn into office he leaned over and kissed the Bible?! Did you know that the starving Continental Army was unexpectedly fed a miraculous supply of fish? Using pitchforks and shovels, the men plunged into the freezing water to throw thousands of shad up onto the snowy banks of the Schuylkill River, providing plenty of food for the army. Each inspiring page details God's workings, from the inception of liberty, through the Pilgrim period, the Revolution, and the Civil War. Ends with a call for Americans to turn back to God. Paperback, 294 pages, black-and white-drawings throughout.
