Book Reviews of Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History
Book Review: "America's greatness is firmly rooted in our ongoing history as a nation under God" ..Gringrich
Summary: 5 Stars
Newt Gringrich has written a book that clearly defines America as a Nation that was founded under God and all the founding documents and monuments and institutions clearly show that the people "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,among these are life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness".Thus they rejected the notion that power came through a monarch,a government to the people;but directly from God.
The point cannot be better made than we see in the words of De Tocqueville ,"Depotism may govern without faith,but liberty cannot.Religion is more needed in democratic societies than in any other."
The Presidents and great leaders have repetedly asked for God's help in prayer and other words throughout America's history at times of strife,peril and jubilation.
Americans are continually reminded that without God,there is no America. That reality is what separates America from all other countries and throughout history.
There have been many countries, before America ,that were not built on the foundation of God as a Supreme Being, and many where God was even outlawed. We have seen such empires as Russia,Germany and Japan and ideologies such as Communism,Marxism,Fascism,as examples;all of which ended on the asheap of history,misery and destruction.
America has faced many challenges in its history,but faith as stated , "In God We Trust" has guided her and made her the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
There are those who would like to see any mention of God banished from schools,government,public spaces,public institutations;and yes even from the currency. To be kind ,one can see these individuals as misguided,but make no mistake,they are very determined ,and their intents and actions can have no other intent than to destroy America.Their numbers are small but their impact has been great and must be resisted .
One might wonder why I as a Canadian ,should be expressing such views and find Gringrich's book so important. Canada has no such Derclaration of Independence,Constitution, Pledge Of Alliegence,concept of unalienable rights endowed by the Creator of life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness,to guide us. Our country was created under the British Crown or Monarchy and governed by the principles of Peace,Order and Good Government.This is totally a top down principle from a self appointed and power from birth sovereign as opposed to the principle of "We The People".Rather than the words Gringrich talks about on America's monuments,we have images of Monarchs instead of our leaders,Royal Crows instead of Eagles,Kings and Queens on our currency instead of Presidents,a flag that carries a maple leaf that was introduced by the government several years ago,and no long history such as with the Stars and Stripes. Even during WWII our flag was basically Britain's Union Jack.
Canada has been very fortunate to have had America as its friend and neighbour.We have adopted much of America's culture and ideals and America's success has had a great deal to do with Canada's success.We have much the same beliefs as Americans;but many still hold on to ties with Britain and Eutope,thus we tend to be more socialist in our governments and we tend to be more Nationalists than Patriots.
Secularists and Political Correctness are at work in Canada ,even to a greater extent than in America.
So,not only Canadians,but also people throughout the world look to America for ideals of "Life,Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" .They know it is what made America Great and that these unalienable rights come from God.
If America fails,and if God is removed from its foundation,then America will fail;all freedom loving people will lose.
Newt Gringrigh deserves praise for this thoughtful and important book.It needs to be read by all Americans as well as all freedom loving people around the world.

Summary of Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History
Newt Gingrich takes us on a?simple walk through Washington, D.C. that began a profound journey of personal discovery and renewal.
At the?National Archives, the immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights," jumped off the page and into his heart with the simple truth that from day one in our country's history, the Author of freedom was not the state nor even the Founding Fathers. Our basic human rights and freedoms were-and are-"Creator-endowed." Gingrich sounds a clarion call for us to recognize that the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that we hold so dear are inseparable from a sincere and humble acknowledgement that these gifts are only the Creator's to give. As a bonus, the book includes a "walking tour" of Washington, D.C.
