GOD’S PLAN FOR AMERICA by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. This revised and expanded three-volume hardcover set includes the following three titles:
Sounding Forth the Trumpet
In a country founded on the promise of freedom, what supported the disgrace of the slavery? And would there ever be freedom for all?
Sounding Forth the Trumpet brings to life one of the most crucial epochs in our nation’s history: the events leading up to and precipitating the Civil War. Relive the frenzy of the Gold Rush, the harsh realities of the Mexican War, the skirmishes of Bleeding Kansas, and the emergence of Abraham Lincoln. Throughout this engaging narrative, the tragic issue of slavery provides focus, from John Quincy Adams’ struggle to preserve the right of petition in Congress to the history-changing election of 1860.
Now repackaged for a new generation, Sounding Forth the Trumpet exposes a dark chapter in our nation’s history and at the same time explores the young nation’s drive toward freedom and independence.
Hardcover, 559 pages.

The Light and the Glory
Did Columbus believe that God called him west to undiscovered lands?
Does American democracy owe its inception to the handful of Pilgrims that settled at Plymouth?
If, indeed, there was a specific, divine call upon this nation, is it still valid today?
The Light and the Glory answers these questions and many more for anyone interested in the founding of the ’’great experiment’’ called America. As you consider our nation’s history as a part of God’s plan, you will begin to have an idea of how much we owe to a very few--and how much is still at stake.
Now revised and expanded for the first time in thirty years, The Light and the Glory is the perfect handbook to our nation’s beginnings--and its future.
