God Bless America

I'm an American history buff. I'm not shy in admitting that. I read books on history, write books on history, and if I am traveling try to make as many historical stops as possible. So, for me, the book Rediscovering God in America by Newt Gingrich is a good read.

Easy to read with wonderful photographs, little tidbits of information on Washington D.C.'s most amazing sights, quotes from the Founding Fathers and later Presidents, and reminders around every corner of the grace God has shed upon this nation - anyone will find this book a great reminder of the God who has - indeed! - blessed us. And in this day and age, we need that reminder.

But do be forewarned: Mr. Gingrich is a politician and he shies from taking a strong stand on Christianity, adding to his historical records very questionable religions that our nation often enfolds as a great "melting pot". And while we are a nation of many differences, we should remind ourselves often that our Founding Fathers had faith in One God and One God alone.
