At this time when we celebrate our freedom, I would like to highly recommend a book that was researched in the Yale University rare book section. The authors used original documents, letters and journals written by Americans who lived the history delineated in this book. The time frame is from the Christopher Columbus through the Revolutionary War. This book gave me a greater and more profound appreciation of our country and the godly, brave and dedicated people whom we call our founding fathers.

The title is “The Light and the Glory,� and the authors are Peter Marshall and David Manuel. The publisher is Fleming H. Revell Co.
