Published in 1977, the original version of The Light and the Glory went through more than 24 printings. Credited by many with radically changing their attitude toward our nation and God's hand in our history, it has become a Christian classic, read and passed around by millions and millions of Americans. Now, in the revised and expanded second edition the authors have added new material on: the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the Jamestown Colony, George Washington's Christian faith, the indispensable role of Christian evangelical Samuel Adams in America's struggle for independence, the Christian faith of other Founding Fathers, and much more. Did God have a plan for America? See countless examples of His hand in the discovery and settling of this land, in its spiritual awakening and in its first years as a republic. As the authors document the Christian faith of key figures from Columbus to Washington, their often startling insights and inspiring stories have made this book "must reading" for all Americans who would regain their national heritage. Carefully researched, footnoted, and indexed, it is not only inspirational but invaluable as a resource.
