Review 'Robert J. Morgan has authored an exceptional book that covers the fine points of the making of America, coupled with one hundred Bible verses. His reach to pre-American influences is masterful, as is his intertwining of significant events (the death of Alexander Hamilton, prayers by George Washington, FDR, and Eisenhower, for example) that unfolded to arguably make America what it is today--though a keen thinker might proffer that America is decisively, if not hopelessly, divided today. If there is hope for unity in the current day of political reality in America, perhaps this careful pathway offered by Morgan is a helpful assist to the national conversation.' --Dr. Michael D.

Morgan sets out with undeniable clarity the reliance on Scripture by many of our most important government leaders throughout history.
