I like history.So,
when Newt Gingrich’s book “Rediscovering God in America”
became available for reviewed, I jumped at the opportunity.For the first thirty pages or so, I sat
riveted to the book as Newt walked me through building after building in our nation’s
capital and explained both the historical and spiritual significance of a few
of our nation’s most treasured landmark.Then something unexpected happened.I became angry, real angry.With
both a bachelor and a master’s degree, why haven’t I ever been exposed to the
information that’s documented in this book pertaining to the spiritual roots of
the United States of America?!As Gingrich writes on page 14, “The answer
[to that question] is that the secular left cannot accurately teach American history
without addressing America’s religious character and it’s religious heritage,
so it simply ignores the topic.If you
don’t teach about the Founding Fathers, you do not have to teach about our
Creator.If you don’t teach about
Abraham Lincoln, you don’t have to deal with fourteen references to God and two
Bible verses in his 703-word second inaugural address…”This book is a real eye-opener for all who
seek truth in American history.
