America And The Bible: The Book That Built a Nation and Still Shapes Our Future
About
From the pulpits of the First Great Awakening to the snows of
Valley Forge, from Lincoln’s Second Inaugural to the chambers
of Congress today, the Bible has profoundly shaped the soul of
America.
In this inspiring journey through history, Bob Sammons
reveals how Scripture gave birth to America’s core ideas,
human dignity, ordered liberty, justice, and moral accountability.
You’ll meet Founding Fathers who turned to the Bible in
crisis, courageous “Black Robe” preachers who rallied a nation,
Cherokee believers who appealed to Scripture against injustice,
and leaders like Lincoln who wrestled with providence in the
nation’s darkest hour.
Far more than a history book, America and The Bible calls
today’s Christians to thoughtful engagement in a polarized,
pluralistic society — speaking truth with grace, defending the
vulnerable, and living as salt and light while refusing to equate
any political party with the Kingdom of God.
At its heart, this book is a reminder that America’s greatest
hope is not found in politics, but in returning humbly to the
living Word of God.
