America's National Book

Speaking of the Declaration of Independence, did you know it was considered one of America's national books?

In his book, A Thomas Jefferson Education, Oliver DeMille argues that America no longer has a national book. In past years, the Bible and Declaration of Independence were considered national books for Americans. From the founding of America through World War 2, these two books guided Americans.

During the 1960’s young people quit referring to these documents for guidance. There were no absolutes and no foundation of truth for this new generation. America cannot remain free, prosperous and moral unless we return to the truths and absolutes found in the Bible. As parents, we must teach, educate, train and civilize our children. Once our kids have a core foundation of truth, they can learn how to be leaders for the future.

Why not read part of the Declaration today as you celebrate America's independence?
