As both a lover of all things early American history as well as a fan of our Founding Fathers I was excited to read this book. Published by Thomas Nelson I was eager to learn more about both General Washington as well as his faith, which over recent years has been under discussion.
General Washington like most of our Founding Fathers placed a great deal of faith in the Lord as well as held firm a belief that God was vital to, and standing with, the efforts to overthrow the English tyranny. While liberals and the loud minority atheist in this country will dispute and disclaim this the evidence is obvious in both Washington’s actions as well as his writings.
This book goes out of its way immediately to tell the writer that the purpose of this book is not to discuss faith. “Although this work is not primarily intended to emphasize the religious faith of Washington, the dependence upon and belief in the power of God is evident in his writings…..Here, we shall allow his words to speak for themselves.”
Instead this book is more of an essay about the General Washington, what shaped the man and his love of this country even before he became President. If you want to learn about the history of Washington in a far more concise and easy to read format then the more popular book Sacred Fire. Then this book is perfect for you.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
