The Light and the Glory for Young Readers: 1492-1787

by Peter Marshall, David Manuel, Anna Wilson Fishel

Overview

From the very beginning it would seem that God had a plan for America. From its discovery by Europeans to its settlement, from the Revolution to Manifest Destiny, from the stirrings of civil unrest to civil war, America was on a path. In our pluralistic world, when textbooks are being rewritten in ways that obscure the Judeo-Christian beginnings of our country, the books in the Discovering God's Plan for America series help ground young readers in a distinctly evangelical way of understanding early American history.

As young readers look at their nation's development from God's point of view, they will begin to have a clearer idea of how much we owe to a very few—and how much is still at stake. These engaging books bring history alive in a way that will inspire young people to do their important part in shaping this nation into the future.
