The Day Independence Came

George Washington and other American leaders during the Revolutionary War displayed extraordinary faith in God. They attributed success on the battlefield to God, called the American people to days of fasting and prayer for the Revolution, and wrote Christian principles into America’s Founding documents. Rod Gragg recounts fascinating stories of our nation’s history and how Christians can learn from the faith of America’s past leaders. He shares about the first Independence Day celebration, and how churches today can flourish in the midst of cultural shift away from a Biblical worldview.
