An Engineer decides he wants to understand America,
During the Clinton years, this engineer decided he had not been taught enough to understand what was going on in America. What about God, and America, and his own life. How does it all fit together. He wanted to know.
Since the national motto is “In God We Trust”, can we understand God’s hand on the discovery, the planting of first colonies, and subsequent growth of America? The chapter on the French and Indian War gives the reader an important picture of America before the Revolution of 1775-1776. References from Field Orders given by General Washington along with numerous other original sources all work together shining a bright light on the inner thoughts of this nation’s founders. Newspapers, private diaries, last will and testament of leaders, and private writings are highlighted to focus this book on giving understanding to the reader of God’s work in rising up America.

God will do unto us like we have done unto Him. Unless we return to our first love, our children are inheriting a love lost land. Christianity was the root of America’s blessing. The book helps you see the faith of early Americans from their own words.
