New York Times bestselling author and Senator Tim Scott explains that in every state, in every decade, America has been built on faith.
From our Founding Fathers to today's heroes of faith, Christianity has been the bedrock of our nation's greatness. In One Nation Always Under God, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott shows how Christian values forged our legal system, educational institutions, healthcare, social services, and more.
One Nation Always Under God is filled with inspiring stories of American Christians whose heroic advocacy has moved the nation forward, including
- Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who faced an angry mob trying to destroy his newspaper
- Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell, whose faith sustained him 200,000 miles from Earth
- Dorothea Dix, who revolutionized how America dealt with mental health
- Eddie Rickenbacker, an aging WWI ace who stepped up to command soldiers stranded in the Pacific in 1942
- Norman Borlaug, a scientist whose discoveries saved a billion people from starvation
...and more. These stories exemplify both the American spirit of adventure and the Christian love of serving others.
Far from being confined to the Constitutional Convention or church pews, faith has been the driving force behind America's innovation, prosperity, and moral leadership, Scott asserts. While the forces of secularism and moral relativism try to ban God from the public square, they cannot truly remove Him from our national DNA.
Senator Scott reminds us that we stand on the shoulders of giants?courageous Christians who faced seemingly insurmountable odds yet persevered through faith. Their stories will stir the heart and awaken the hero within you. One Nation Always Under God is more than a history lesson. It's a rallying cry for all who believe that America's promise is rooted in timeless biblical principles.
