A Must Read

Zach got me this book for my birthday knowing that it was something I had wanted to read for a while--and I'm so grateful I have. What a valuable book! I'd recommend this book to anyone desiring to be a responsible US citizen (that should be ALL of you ;). It's a non-fiction book that basically gives the background beliefs of the founders of our nation-- what they believed that influenced them to create this great nation. Having read it I can see more clearly how far we have veered away from our constitutional foundation- and it's both sad and scary. Secret Combinations come to mind...
I have a greater respect for our founding fathers and reverence for the purpose our nation was to fulfill as well as gratitude to our Heavenly Father for bringing it to pass.
I learned the value of the initial "right" and "left" not the "right" and "left" that is touted in the media today and how important both sides were and are- they are not to be at war with each other- rather- they are to be two sides of a balance.
I learned that the founders firmly believed that religion and morality SHOULD be taught in the schools.
I learned that the founders would have counseled strongly against any entangling alliances (i.e. the League of Nations, the United Nations...) while encouraging friendship with all nations.
I learned that the founders had strong opinions about preserving the integrity of the family.
I learned that they felt it was immoral for any generation to get into any more national debt than what they could pay off in their own lifetime.
I could go on and on about this book- but I won't. I'll just suggest you read it if you want to learn a little more about what went into this nation and what we should be standing up for today.
