God's Promises for the American Patriot: Faith and Freedom in US History

Got this for my mom as a joke but she absolutely loves it and i guess thats what matters🤷‍♀️

Students of propaganda techniques and the psychology of religious fundamentalism will benefit enormously from a perusal of this little book. It makes liberal use of pull quotes yanked out of context and misused to bolster the idea that America is a "chosen" nation. It also perpetuates the myth that the founding fathers were "good Christian men," by using the aforementioned pull quote technique. Any evidence that is contrary to the book's agenda is of course ignored.A splendid example is on page 114, where it says "according to their (the revolutionaries) worldview, obedience to God took precedence over loyalty to country or government; their primary allegiance was to the Lord Jesus Christ."This is of course a total fiction. While many of the founders made reference to God, they were referring to the deity espoused in deistic views of religion: one who created the world and left it to run itself. Jefferson was a prime example of this mindset. He even took a pair of scissors to his copy of the New Testament and cut out all references to miracles. To him Jesus was a sage who taught good moral principles, not his "Lord" in any sense of the word.It would also be of great value to students of hermeneutics, as a perfect example of how the Bible should NOT be interpreted. Little attention is given to the textual or historical contexts in which the cited verses appear.For example, numerous verses that are statements from God to ancient Israel are misappropriated and applied to the United States. This of course shows a blatant lack of respect for the Scriptures, an attitude that is common among "Bible believers."In short, this book is a fantastic example of bad religion, bad scholarship, and bad reasoning. For those reasons I strongly recommend it to those seeking an understanding of religious fanatics and how their minds actually work. An excellent book in a similar vein is "How to Get Rich as a televangelist or Faith Healer," available on Amazon.

It's written in short sections for stop & go reading. It defines the principles of the foundation for the U. S.

This books has great short prayers you can read in a very short time plus well written prayers by American Patriots. These are not political if you appreciate this land and the freedom to be choose to follow the Lord!

I like the book a lot! Being a Retired Marine and patriot myself. Just makes good sense!

I love Bibles! I bought this one to share with my children. It brings the connection between our nation and God's love to perfect realization.

The governing powers in the US want Americans in slavery.They want people to be ignorant and stupid and too many have already willingly obliged. This book gives hope and a promise that "freedom is not free but a God-given right to every individual."

I just had to have this book in a digital format.My brother gave me one many years ago when I left for the Army
