Resumen del Editor

Bestselling author Robert Morgan explores 100 Bible verses that powerfully impacted our leaders during defining moments in American history and reflects upon what these verses mean for us as a nation today.

100 Bible Verses That Made America is a tour through the biblical roots of American history—a powerful exploration of our country’s founders, leaders, and the critical moments that laid the foundation for the formation of the USA. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America.

When George Washington was sworn into office as our first president, he did not place his hand on the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, as important as those documents are. Instead, he swore upon and even kissed the Bible to sanctify this important moment. The Bible, Washington knew, had ushered American history to this point.

While not every Founding Father was a Christian, each was knowledgeable about the Bible. And while none of them was perfect, many embraced a deep faith in the unfailing Word of God.

100 Bible Verses That Made America contains:

• Short, devotional-style chapters, each featuring a Bible verse and how it influenced a historical figure
• Engaging stories spanning from the Mayflower to modern day
• Vivid segments that emphasize the Bible as the cornerstone of American history

Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he shares the Bible’s role in the defining moments of American history and its impact on the people of our nation, reminding us of the beauty of faith and country and reigniting our passion for both.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'America needs this book to point us to the Book! I've always loved biographies and history. Throw in the Gospels, and I'm caught hook, line, and sinker. Americans have long been told the United States and its educational system were founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Robert J. Morgan shares proof of this in a compelling, documented manner. Oh, how we need to return to our biblical foundations. I love this book!'

—Dr. Lyn Cook, co-owner, Cooks Pest Control, and author, Employee Number 2

'For years debate has raged over a simple question: Was America founded as a Christian nation? That discussion brings emotions to the surface from all sides of the political spectrum. The very fact that good and evil coexist in our Western culture makes it impossible to provide a clear and crisp answer. But one thing is for sure: Christianity and the ideas of the Enlightenment merged on the shores of a young America. The wisdom of the Bible leaked into the culture of the New World and created a conscience, individually and collectively, that is evident to this day. Rob Morgan persuasively captures this theme most effectively in 100 Bible Verses That Made America. Reflect on it. Share it with your children and your children's children.'

—Edward M. Smith, PhD, president, Williamson College

'I love the simple but powerful way Robert J. Morgan connects us to our nation's past. His simple layout allows me to memorize these verses and appreciate their significance. These one hundred Bible promises are God-breathed. The one hundred stories are God-blessed.'

—Greg Vaughn, Grace Ministries founder and president

Mesmerizing Read!

In moving through 100 verses and 100 dates that shaped the USA, I was reminded again and again how blessed we are as a nation! I recommend this book to everyone who wishes to better understand the American story!

Great book

Nice reminder about the history of US weaved with true facts about the importance of Christianity. We do need a revival bad!

Wow!!! Should be Required Reading in all U. S. History Classes!!!

This is an amazing book that walks you through America’s founding, right up to the present with the Bible verses that our leaders leaned on, often times through prayer. We need more of God and his word in the classroom, not less or none as it stands now. Our future generations will not have a chance if they forget their history and how this great nation became a beacon of hope for the world. This is a must read for TRUE American history and God’s TRUTH that directed our path.

God lights our path

An amazing read and one very worthwhile.

God’s self-revelation through Holy Scripture is our rock and our guide, as individuals and as a country.

May those with ears hear.

Wonderfully written

This book is inspirational and perfect for a 5 minute start to your day with one verse/story or to listen to one right after the other. I would recommend this to teachers especially to give some color to our nations foundation.
