Discovering God's Plan for America from Christopher Columbus to George Washington.
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.
Both you and your children will enjoy following the exciting story of the birth and early history of "one nation under God."
With conversations that bring people and events to life, questions for discussion, and a glossary, this book is both fun and informative, teaching children about how God intervened time and again in early American history to accomplish His plan for a place where His followers could worship freely.
