The true drama of how faith motivated America’s Founding Fathers, influenced the Declaration of Independence and inspired the birth of the nation.

This fascinating history, based on meticulous research into the correspondence and documentation of the founding fathers, sheds light on how the Judeo-Christian worldview cultivated a spirit of national independence, inspired our foundational documents, and helped establish the American nation. Spanning from the Jamestown settlement to the Declaration of Independence, Forged in Faith is written with a compelling mix of dramatized story and action-driven narrative, yet with the authenticity and academic verity of historian Rod Gragg.
