REDISCOVERING GOD IN AMERICA

I recently received the book Rediscovering God in America by Newt Gingrich, and featuring the photography of Callista Gingrich.

Book Description

Take a walk through Washington, DC with Newt and Callista Gingrich to view our nation's historic monuments and memorials. You will quickly find yourself on a profound and surprising walk of discovery and renewal.

Your first stop will be the National Archives, where Thomas Jefferson's immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that all "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," jump off the page with the inescapable truth that from day one in our country's history, the source of freedom was neither the state nor even the Founding Fathers.

This book is a New York Times Bestseller. It is hardcover and 118 pages long. The book takes you on a small tour of the US capital, Washington DC, visiting many of the monuments and institutions there. It covers how a belief that we are a Nation founded under God has affected our history, our documents, and our institutions.

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting read. Seeing the many quotes from the Bible and just the statements in general by our historical leaders was enlightening. Many monuments and government buildings have plaques, paintings, stained glass windows, etc. that depict our countries early belief in God and our country being founded on these very ideas. The pictures of the monuments and buildings only added to this book and the information shared. It will also make you realize just how much our nation has changed and the efforts that are going on to remove God from our country. I did not care for the general view of every religion believing in God. Yes, the freedom to believe what you wish stands in America, but not all religions are Christian. Overall an interesting book regarding religion in America.
