The American Heritage Series

Great historians understand that how we view our history determines the decisions we make in the present and ultimately decides the course of our future. But what happens when we forget the truths of our history? And what are the consequences when we do?

In the classrooms and civil arenas of our nation today, you will find little evidence of the moral and Christian principles America was founded upon.

In the classroom of our nation's history, Americans are increasingly taught opposing views of founding presidents—such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

A closer look into our nation's history reveals that our nation's founding fathers were united by their deeply spiritual beliefs that shaped the foundation of America, but many modern historians tell us just the opposite. Who were our founding fathers, how did their faith play a role in the ideas that birthed America, and do we have, as many historians claim, a godless constitution?

A closer look into our nation's history, reveals surprising and irrefutable evidence of the Bible's influence on our founding fathers and our nation's constitution. But, does a biblically-inspired constitution make America a "Christian" nation and is there a place for the Bible in today's modern, political, climate?

In modern politics, the term "separation of church and state" is most commonly used to ban acts of faith in the public arena, but a closer look into history reveals the intentions of this phrase to be just the opposite. How then, has our history been redefined and rewritten?

Since its founding, the United States of America has experienced unprecedented levels of success and freedom.

In today's civil arena, our religious freedoms are often relegated to private acts of worship. But, was this our founding father's intent? Were these freedoms established to limit religious expression and Biblical values in government, or to endorse them?

The legal interpretations of the Supreme Court have become the final determiner in the policies that affect the daily lives of American citizens. Are all branches of the government created equal? Does the Supreme Court now wield more power than our founding fathers ever intended?

Many visitors to our nation's capital would be shocked to discover that the faith of our founding fathers has, indeed, been chiseled in stone throughout our nation's capital. But why has this irrefutable evidence of our great, spiritual, heritage been covered up and forgotten?
