REVIEW: THE LIGHT AND THE GLORY, AND FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA

Secularist, humanistic teaching is countered by these two refreshing historical sequels that document the Christian heritage, and God's plan for America, from the time of the discovery of America, to the time of the Civil War. The theses of these two well-written books are: "Did God have a plan for America?” and "God's plan for America unfolds."

The authors have done tremendous amounts of research in the archives of American history to conclusively show how God established America for His purposes. First-hand accounts of persons and events that God has used to make up our Nation's history are used to weave together solid, extremely interesting, readable works that graphically give much needed insights into the origin of the battle between Darkness and Light that is still being fought in our country today.

Our Holy God, who gave birth to America, and' the repentant faith of His people are shown to be the Light of Salvation that can save America from her decadent decline into sin, and from the increasing judgment of God. These two powerful history books should be in the libraries of every home, church, and school in America.
