A very nice gift-quality book, "God's Promises For The American Patriot" by Dr. Richard G. Lee and Jack Countryman, does an excellent job of bringing the Bible and it's influence on America's founding together. Several subjects are included under five headings and chapters are short, 2 pages in length with a short story about American history, including a painting or photograph, followed by corresponding Bible verses. For example, one of my favorites on page 102, shows a photograph of President Lincoln reading the Bible to his son under the chapter titled Forgetting God which presents his speech pertaining to his declaration of a National Fast Day on March 30, 1863.
The book includes stories from the beginning of America's founding and George Washington to present day figures and events, including George Bush, etc. Each short chapter takes only a couple of minutes to read and, with the pictures, would appeal to school-aged children as well as adults.
I was given this book free from the publisher in return for participating in their book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review. I was only asked to provide an honest one.
