What others are saying about
THE AMERICAN STORY: THE BEGINNINGS.
History is to a civilization what memory is to an individual. That powerful reminder was drilled into me by a college professor. I fear that there is a deliberate effort in America to erase the history of our nation and rewrite it to support a lie. Historians David and Tim Barton realize that the ignorance of American history is not a mere academic shortfall, it represents an existential threat to this great Republic. The American Story: The Beginnings reveals facts about our origins with detailed documentation to show that much of the newspaper narrative of today and the radical mobs tearing down statues and burning books are robbing the people of America of their real story.

The American Story: The Beginnings moves onto the literary stage at the perfect time for an America in search of its own identity. This book defies historical revisionism, relying solely on meticulously researched, authentic historical accounts. David and Tim Barton have provided fascinating insights into ordinary people who rose to extraordinary heights in the service of their God and their country. Every American will benefit from knowing the people, the principles, and the Providence of God which allowed the greatest nation on earth to survive its early years. What a relevant read at this critical juncture in Americas history!

Many years ago, Erwin Knoll, editor of the Progressive Magazine, penned Knolls Law of Accuracy in Media: Everything you read in the media is absolutely true except the rare event of which you have personal knowledge. Knoll could have been describing what we think we know about the historical founding of our civilization and country, from how Christopher Columbus really behaved to what kind of men and women founded what became the United States. This is a must-read for conservatives to bolster their instinctive understanding of America as a force for good, and self-described progressives should take the time to challenge the narrative they have accepted for too many years.

This book is a treasure. So few Americans are ever told full, true American history. Now they can read it themselves, with all the original source citations and evidence backing up everything that is written. If every student in school were required to read this, Americans would quickly discover the incredible heritage of this great country and the hand of God behind the beginning of the greatest land of freedom on the face of the earth. Simply put, this is a great book of Americas beginning, and you wont be able to put it down.

I highly recommend this work for all who want to preserve the foundations and liberties passed down to us in this great nation. Jesus said, ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Its only the truth you know that sets you free. In this book, David and Tim Barton share truths that are mostly lost in our culture today but learning these documented truths of our Christian heritage will set you free.

David and Tim Bartons book teaches the truth of the magnificent history of our nation. We are asking how we can educate the younger generation who doesnt seem acquainted with the American story? David and Tim Barton have done the hard work for us! I applaud their effort and recommend everyone buy copies to give away, especially to the younger generation. Those who know Americas true inspirational history will never destroy her heroes and our heritage!

Only rarely is a book birthed that I know must have a home in my library. Most books I am content to read but this one I must own, ink my name on its inside cover, and eventually bequeath to my children. It will make your heart surge with renewed conviction in our Divine destiny as a nation and it will strengthen your spine with vision, hope, and courage. You will want to own it too.

What influence did Christianity have on the drafters, signers, and advocates of the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution? Did Christopher Columbus travel to unexplored places in 1492 hoping to spread the Gospel of Christ? What was the purpose and motivation behind the actions of colonial patriots who threw British tea into the Boston Harbor? What was the role of heroic black patriots in the American Revolution? The American Story answers these and many other key history questions at a pivotal time in our nations history. It is essential to the survival of our nation that we know the answers. David and Tim Barton have written a most timely and relevant book that should be read by every American.
