The Founding of America
(5-Part Weekend Seminar)
The Founding of America did not start with the sound of "the alarm" of the Red Coats advancing from Concord. Using the fascinating backdrop of God’s providential timetable, evangelist/historian Richard “Little Bear” Wheeler vividly retraces the advancement of individual and national liberty, from its earliest connection to William Wallace in the Scottish cause for freedom, to America’s war-torn Old Glory.
The intriguing drama of history continues to unfold—as the foundations of God’s Holy Word and His Providence are Divinely established; as a persevering Christopher Columbus discovers American shores in preparation for a faithful people; as the Pilgrims establish a beachhead of faith-loving freedom through self-denial and hardships; and ultimately, as the heroic Founding Fathers and valiant women embrace the furnace of affliction for a lasting freedom in this one nation under God. Accurate… Inspiring… An in-depth study of providential history—ideal for the avid young history student, as well as for the parent/educator.
