"Statesmen... may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand." -John Adams. What does it mean to be a nation "under God"? Where have we been as a nation, and where are we going? Using unforgettable accounts of both famous and little-known Americans, Under God tells the stories of men and women of faith who forged our nation. Against these stories of light, the authors also examine the dark side of America's legacy so that a new generation might seek God's face and avoid repeating the sins of the past, for it is only under God that there will truly be "liberty and justice for all."

"Great examples of the faith & Christian heritage of our forefathers and those that followed. There were stories here that truly inspired me. Historical accounts the classroom doesn't teach. If we fail to learn from our mistakes then we are doomed to repeat them."

— Elizabeth, 12/26/2013" Very similar to Jesus Freaks. There's a better bibliography in this book. Some items do seem to need further research. I believe Snopes has some information on some of the articles. "

— Meadow, 8/1/2010" America has done a lot of things right, and has made some mistakes in its 236-year history. The authors don't gloss over the ugly part of our past, but they show how God has had His hand in the forming of our nation. "
— Laura, 9/11/2009" The layout is similar to a Chicken Soup book. Not a novel.. but real life short stories about the miracles, feats, and triumphs throughout our country's birth and growth. Not written the best, but it's still worth reading. "
