Adopted on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence stated that the thirteen American colonies were “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.”
Our Founding Fathers acknowledged God as the source of our rights:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
God’s Promises in the Scriptures:
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. — Romans 8:1-2
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
Who made Heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.
— Psalm 146:5-7
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. — 2 Corinthians 3:17

I bought these for my grandchildren so they can preserve the history of our nation. - Migdalia R., verified buyer
Take a Look Inside
A note from the authors...
Throughout the history of our country, men and women have looked to God’s Word for wisdom, strength, and encouragement. Through His Word, He has guided them as they acknowledged His omnipotence. God’s promises come alive when combined with the historical journey of the men and women who formed the foundation of our country.
President Ronald Reagan said, “Inside the Bible’s pages lie the answers to all the problems mankind has ever known. I hope Americans will read and study the Bible.” God’s Word and America’s story are inseparable.
Much of America’s rich story is told in these pages, along with many wonderful promises from God’s Word that have served as the very foundations upon which our nation was formed.

The Bible has played a starring role in American history from our nation’s beginnings.
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 hallowed 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.
Trying to explain American history without its Bible is like trying to understand the human body without its bloodstream. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America.
While not every Founding Father was a Christian, a Bible-believer, or a paragon of virtue and not every leader has honored the Bible nor appreciated its influence, there is an undeniable history of leaders who’ve been intimately acquainted with the contents of the Bible, who’ve studied its scriptures and respected its teachings. Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he teaches about the Bible’s role in the defining moments and impact on the people of our nation’s history, reminding us of the beauty at the intersection of faith and country and reigniting our hearts’ passions for both.
