Resumen del Editor

"America, America, God shed His grace on thee...."

Did Columbus believe that God called him west to undiscovered lands? Does American democracy owe its inception to the handful of Pilgrims that settled at Plymouth? If, indeed, there was a specific, divine call upon this nation, is it still valid today?

The Light and the Glory answers these questions, and many, many more. As we look at our nation's history from God's point of view, we begin to have an idea of how much we owe a very few, and how much is still at stake.

Outstanding book!

The Light and The Glory is one of my top two favorite books of all time!

The true religious history of the USA

Peter and David chronicle the early history of the American settlements. They ask the question, why did some communities fail while others flourished? The answers are revealed not just by research but by realizations given only after spending time pondering and waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Our Country God bee with us.

Loved this book. I recommend it too anyone who wants to know our country's roots!

God’s presence in our nation’s founding

The authors shows evidence that God’s hand was involved in the beginnings of the United States. I believe this is true although some of the information is the authors’ interpretation.

Enlightening!!

The great history of God's Covenant with America from Columbus through Washington's Presidency. A well researched and well written book, should be required reading for all citizens and high school seniiors in this country. The narrator was only average but articulate and is not a hinderance. The book spends a long time on discovery and the early settlements, telling stories unfortunately not often told. A must read for all Christians. Would make a great Sunday School series. Please do not let my verbal inadequacies hinder your purchase, as I believe the authors to have been inspired by the Lord. A story that needs to be known and shared, more now than ever. Learn, enjoy and share what you discover.

Super

One of the best I've listened to. It gave me a new respect for the Pilgrims and the Puritans

A Patriot's History of the United States. The Light and the Glory was listed in the bibliography.

No.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The faith of our fathers.

Worth the time to hear and digest

Too much of history taught in public schools is clouded by personal preference of what narrative the teacher wishes to present. By contrast this book provides a look into the history through the quest for truth from the authors who take time outs during the presentation of the history to chronicle the research. Evidence for any conclusions drawn is balanced with evidence to the contrary.

great read. and very informative

Any patriot to read/listen to this book. it gave a greater understanding of our American history.

Great book.

Loved learning about our Christian Heritage. I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this book.

The Proof Does Exist

People refuse to believe the truth. America IS a special place and will remain so unless we Americans destroy it.
