The Christian History of the American Revolution: Consider and Ponder
Overview
Accounts from original documents, as well as commentary from Verna Hall, enable the reader to understand the heart of the spirit of Liberty as it comes from the Word of God and the connection to American political liberty. The Colonists were engaged in a Constitutional debate to determine their Biblical basis for the American Revolution. This volume is indispensable to the student incomprehending God’s vision for liberty and government, his responsibility as a Christian citizen, and the standard to which we must hold our leaders to sustain our Constitutional Republic.

“As each generation of Americans arose after the establishment of our Constitution, it should have been taught what the Lord had done in bringing this nation into being. But alas! we Christians failed to do so, especially after the founding fathers were gone from this scene. As a nation we became enamoured with the fruits of freedom, and like Israel of old, began to worship other gods, and forgot God’s wonderful accomplishments and benevolences, ‘and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel’ (Judges 2:10).” (Page xxviii)
“The events of history are not accidents. There are no accidents in the lives of men or of nations. We may go hack to the underlying cause of every event, and discover in each God’s overruling and intervening wisdom.” (Page xxv)
“God began to call forth men to develop the many scientific and economic fields which would be necessary to enable man to sail the seas, explore, and finally settle the lands across the vast Atlantic ocean.” (Page xxv)
“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.” (Pages xxv–xxvi)
