I just finished reading this book, and it is amazing!
Under God is a compilation of stories of sacrifice and faith from America’s history. From the American Revolution to the Civil War to the post-Civil-War segregation, this book is filled with touching and inspiring true stories. As TobyMac states in the book: “Knowing the past is crucial to dealing with the present.”
Along with awesome quotes…
Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.
-Adlai Stevenson, American Statesman
“Racism is not a skin problem; it’s a sin problem.”
-Nathel Tait, Michael Tait’s father
And touching stories like the Sand Creek Massacre, there are some great verses pointed out and wonderful commentary. I highly recommend this book. It was absolutely awesome.
This is an amazing book and I am so excited that you found it and enjoyed it! I am very excited about the girls reading it as well while we study American History over this next year!
