Forged in Faith

How Faith Shaped the Birth of the Nation 1607-1776

De: Rod Gragg

Narrado por: Maurice England

It motivated America’s founding fathers, influenced national independence, and inspired our foundational documents. Wars raged over it. Men died for it. All for faith. And out of the smoke and grit, a nation was born.

From the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to the passage of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Forged in Faith traces the epic colonization of America, the instrumental impact of the Great Awakening revival, and reveals the foundational faith that inspired American independence. With a compelling mix of dramatized story and action-driven narrative, award-winning historian Rod Gragg chronicles the pivotal and often-overlooked influence of Biblical faith on the making of America.

Insightful and historically accurate, Forged in Faith recounts how faith motivated Pilgrims, Puritans, Presbyterians, Baptists, Quakers, Catholics, and Anglicans alike in a unique and fascinating history of early America and the faith that forged a nation.

A must read for ALL Americans

I liked learning about the STRONG faith the Forefathers had in God. Thier faith was proven by prayer petition and thanks giving to God.

So enjoyable!

I enjoyed this very interesting and fact-filled recounting of the role Christian beliefs played in the founding of America. Americans need to be reminded of our beginnings. And our children, who will suffer the exclusion of this part of our country’s origins - given today’s textbooks- will profit, it is hoped, from being exposed to such literature as they grow and mature.

A lot squeezed into this book!

Would you listen to Forged in Faith again? Why?

Yes...there was a lot squeezed into this book, and it was incredible to walk through the history of various religions and how they affected one another throughout the forging of America.

What did you like best about this story?

The narrator was very good. He kept me involved in the story.

America, the product God’s higher, lol granted freedom to man.

I appreciated the underlying storyline of the founding of America, biblical principles of the higher law and the freedom of man.

excellent

This should be mandatory reading for every student in the USA. This history lesson is for everyone.

great read.

very well writin. should be read by all patriots and students. should be required for anyone wanting to run for office.

the info your history classes left out

well done story and information that revives the soul of true patriotism. the author clearly demonstrates the God mindset that many establishing fathers of our country had and ultimately influenced the declaration of independence and the United states constitution.... let's say John Locke also greatly influenced the era and how we got to here.

Our duty

Every child and adult in America should read this book so to be informed of the gift we received and the duty we have to preserve it for our children and children’s children, as well as the world.

Incredible must read.

A true story about faith and liberty. The people that founded this great country put their trust in God and united under His principles. Every American should read this to understand what it took and what it means to be free.
