Product Description
A simple walk through Washington, D.C. began a profound journey of personal discovery and renewal for Newt Gingrich, one of America's most influential politicians and commentators. At theNational Archives, the immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights," jumped off the page and into his heart with the simple truth that from day one in our country's history, the Author of freedom was not the state nor even the Founding Fathers. Our basic human rights and freedoms were-and are-"Creator-endowed." Gingrich sounds a clarion call for us to recognize that the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that we hold so dear are inseparable from a sincere and humble acknowledgement that these gifts are only the Creator's to give. As a bonus, the book includes a "walking tour" of Washington, D.C.
Customer Reviews
Whatever you may think of Gingrich as a political figure, he does an excellent job of outlining the relationship that Christianity has had with our government from before its founding as shown from the writings of the founding fathers and as shown in the documents, monuments and buildings in Washington DC that make up the core of our governmental infrastructure. He shows clearly from their writings and speeches that are found in Washington DC that while not all of these men were active church-goers, they all had a firm belief in God, and nearly all were Christian. "Separation of Church and State" is not an idea found in any of the founding documents of our country, and the First Amendment did not, from our founding, bar religious expression in the public arena.
