Product Description
How did Columbus, Squanto, John Winthrop, George Whitefield, and George Washington help make America a special nation? Does American democracy owe its start to the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth? What happened as the generations that followed the Puritans moved west and settled new lands? The Light and the Glory for Children makes clear to young readers ages nine to twelve how God worked through the founders of America to establish this nation. The years 1492 to 1789 begin the exciting story of Gods plan for America. Study activities pose questions about the nations future.

 A good book for Christian home-schoolers. November 10, 2007

This is a good book for Christian homeschooling moms. I bought it for my daughter, who is homeschooling her children.
Must Read! March 10, 2006

This book is a must read for children to get a proper perspective of history. Public school textbooks will not reflect our Christian roots. Parents should read the regular version. My 9 year old granddaughter says this is her favorite book.

Great and educational book. My son loved it and he does not care to read. This is a must for all out there.
Children will gain insight about America's Christian roots. June 17, 1999

Like the adult book of the same title, The Light and the Glory for Children examines evidence for America's Christian roots. The authors reveal a past that is not at all smooth. The challenges of settling this land and building a new nation are shown in their harsh reality. Equally, the faith that strengthened the people for these challenges is presented as inspiration for tomorrow's citizens and leaders. Review questions in the back of the book helped my children explore their own values and beliefs about their country. There could be no better way to raise responsible citizens than to have them investigate our Christian heritage through this book.
