Description
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.

        November 15, 2010

        Gragg (history, Coastal Carolina Univ.; Covered with Glory) offers a look at how Judeo-Christian values were the basis for the founding of the United States. Numerous quotes from past sermons, letters, and Continental Congresses are interspersed throughout the production to support the author's belief that America was established as a religious nation. Narrator Maurice England's folksy Southern accent makes for easy listening. Recommended for listeners wanting a simple, unambiguous view of religion and its early impact on the nation. [The Howard: S. & S. hc was recommended for "lay readers seeking a shorter and less intensive work than Jon Meacham's far more in-depth American Gospel," LJ 6/1/10.--Ed.]--Deb West, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
