This isn't just a glimpse inside the
archives of our nation’s historical
legacy... it's like backing up a truck and raiding two
centuries worth of archived
historical, cultural, and
biographical files...and
these records are in full agreement!
An advanced civilization such as
these United States could only
produce the fruits of our greatness
if it was secured first with the
firm foundations of the Christian
faith.
I have spent a lifetime
gathering evidences here and there
for a testimony of the Christian
foundations of our nation. I can
only wish I had found this massive
1060 page volume 40 years ago.
Especially since these are
testimonies and facts archived at
the beginning of our nation’s
history.
Testimonies from the sources
that laid the foundations… often
composed by those who bled and died
for those principles. What a solid
work! So much to “take in” … It
could have saved me 40 years of
looking… As it is, this set gives me
enough to handle on this subject
for… say… the whole next decade.

Re: Republication of the rare 1864
volume from a virtual archive of
early Christian Americana.
Introducing…
The Christian Life and Character of
the Civil Institutions of the United
States by Benjamin F. Morris (1864)
In 1864… Christian
writer and historian Benjamin F. Morris
wrote the following concerning the
monumental volume:
"THIS volume is committed to the American
people...
In it, as from the richest
historical mines,
has been brought out the pure gold of our
history...
Its treasures have been gathered and
placed in this casket for the instruction
and benefit of the present and future. We
have a noble historic life.
Our
ancestors were the worthies of the world.
We have a noble nation, full of the
evidences of the molding presence of
Christian truth, and of the power and
goodness of Divine wisdom in rearing up a
Christian republic for all time. That this
was the spirit and aim of the early
founders of our institutions, the facts in
this volume fully testify. |
|
From
the Preface to the book…
“THIS volume… is committed to the
American people, in the firm
assurance that the invaluable facts
which it records will be grateful to
every patriotic and pious heart…”
Benjamin F. Morris
Christian, Historian
1864

The field through which the reader will
walk, in this work, must give wider
expansion to any person's...political
viewsquicken the pulses of his loyalty
add to his conscious dignity as an
American citizenstrengthen his
confidence in our futureand impart a
higher tone to his piety
The
single object of the compiler was to link,
in a connected form, the golden chain of
our Christian history, and to reveal the
basis upon which our institutions stand.

"True
religion affords to Government its surest

indissoluble bond the
principles of civil government with the
principles of Christianity."—JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS.

religion which is founded on the teachings
of Jesus
Christ and his Apostles—is as sure a guide

any concern of life."—DANIEL WEBSTER.

Written at the height of America’s Civil
War and originally published in 1864 |

offering upon the common altar of his
country and of Christianity.”…BF Morris,
1864

“…as from the richest mines… the pure gold

|
“In it, as from the richest mines, has
been brought out the pure gold of our
history. Its treasures have been gathered
and placed in this casket for the
instruction and benefit of the present and
future. We have a noble historic life; for
our ancestors
were the worthies of the world.
|
“We have a noble nation, full of the
evidences of the molding presence of
Christian truth, and of the power and
goodness of Divine wisdom in rearing up a
Christian republic for all time.” |
“That this was the spirit and aim of the
early founders of our institutions the
facts in this volume fully testify. The
field through which the reader will walk,
in this work, must give wider expansion to
his political views, quicken the pulses of
his loyalty, add to his conscious dignity
as an American citizen, strengthen his
confidence in our future, and impart a
higher tone to his piety.
|
“The single object of the
compiler was to link, in a
connected form, the golden
chain of our Christian
history, and to reveal the
basis on which our
institutions stand.” |
“The documents and facts are authentic,
and have been collected, with laborious
diligence, from standard historical works
and from the political and Christian
annals of the nation.
|
“The volume is the voice of the best and
wisest men of the republic.” |
“ It must, therefore, have weight with the
American people, and be a political and
Christian thesaurus and textbook to the
scholar, the teacher, the patriot, the
politician, the statesman, the jurist, the
legislator, the divine, and, in a word, to
all classes of American citizens. The work
is not theoretical, but a series of facts
to unfold and establish the Christian life
and character of the civil institutions of
the United States,
|
“…in the light of which every American
citizen can trace to its source the true
glory of the nation…” |
|
But, as they say, “That was then…this is
now.”
So, you’re probably asking yourself, “What
can I do with this great volume?
Here are just a few suggestions…
When something as
news-shattering as the
Terry Schiavo case, the Judge Roy Moore 10
Commandments issue, and a host of others
“hit the press,” didn’t you wish you had
historic reasons, quotations, biographies
and commentaries to fall back on so as to
be able to “get at the root” of the issues
you’re facing and be convincing to others?
Well, NOW you do…
Do you wish you knew why our forefathers
erected or developed this or that
institution, cultural event, traditional
outlook, holiday, slogan or symbol…?
Are you a writer of any sort? Here is a
wealth of information just waiting for you
to use.
Do you have your own newsletter or
website? Think what this kind of
information can do for you…verbal
illustrations, history, quotes, and a
knowledge base far ahead of most others …
This book can be used as a course along
with the history of the American
Revolution which accompanies this set…
Do you love history? I mean…do you just
love a good story or two…or hundreds…?
Do you love knowing what really went on –
how do they say it? – “behind the scenes”?
Remember, the internet shows us that
people are drawn to sources of new and
exciting information…This is not just
information…it is a STANDARD which defies
all others. After reading from this
archival of historic events and issues…
there is NO cogent argument which can be
levied against the FACT of the Christian
foundation of this country.
Are you involved with Chat Rooms, Online
Discussions and Forums, online
Directories…Well, now you’ve got plenty to
share…with thousands of people.
Are you involved politically? You now have
plenty of verbal/informational
“ammunition” to combat the anti-Christian
biases we all face in our society…
Unfortunately, too many churches,
Christians, denominations, ministry
groups, schools and Christian Colleges
have been taught that this was not founded
as a Christian nation…Now, it’s your turn
to show otherwise…and persuasively…
Do you teach: schools, youth ministries,
devotionals, Bible study groups, history
class or club, personal evangelism and
witnessing; the list is endless?…
Are you a pastor, teacher in a private or
parochial school or even Sunday school, a
homeschool mom or dad? Think of the
surprise and power of presenting a
thoroughly researched, well documented
Christian story, event, biography,
quotation, prayer… and “1001” other issues
and subjects…
Are you involved in internet radio (If you
are please CONTACT us)? Here is a wealth
of information for your programming…People
love this information…
Do you work with teens? This is a great
way to get their interest…and compel their
respect…
Are you a student needing a subject (or 2
or 3…) to write a paper for school?
Do you have an
Internet web page or Blog on which
you could post Biblical themes, history,
culture and stories?
Do you love “history of the Bible” kinds
of topics? This is not ancient history to
be sure. But it sure is encouraging to
know how God worked among our people to
create a nation.
Since this set is history and Biblical
…why not use it at church, school and
collegiate Bible studies and prayer
groups?
Are you just plain interested in finding
out about these events and people…and
learning what you can about them?
Your “Blog” (web log) could become a
source of real encouragement, faith and
enjoyment to many others as you
constantly update, add, or explain with
the huge amount of data found in these
informative educational tools…
The timing is perfect for understanding
this information…the information is itself
stunning to many who call themselves
Christian…What do you think such
information is really worth to those who
learn its full potential?
But wait a minute…There’s a lot more you
can get out of this!
No doubt…you can gain real credibility
with the knowledge gained in this
set…Remember, most people know something
about a lot of things: “Jack of all
trades…master of none” is the saying.
YOU, on the other hand, will have an
in-depth appreciation and knowledge of
some of the best archives stories of this
nation’s history…a truly awe-inspiring
examination of this thrilling subject.
Why?
Because
you will have NO competition to speak
of… comparatively few really know about
this subject to any appreciable extent in
this country…though that is slowly
starting to change …
You …on the other hand… will have
the real advantage over almost any
who have need of the subject matters
archived in this great volume…
|
|
There is almost no subject affecting our
culture where material from this
volume could not be found to reference it
in some manner…
You will have
IMMEDIATE access to bonus
information…now. While you are waiting for the
book you can be enjoying
your bonus materials of Great
Christian biographies. You will get your
email login information and download at
your convenience…You can then “burn it
onto a CD” for your own archival use or
“burn the audio set” onto your own CD for
easy listening when you want to use it…
Since this set comes with an
audio book
series…listen to them in the car…on your
headphones while jogging…listen while you
lay in bed…
With audio …you can listen to the audio
portion over and over…learning it without
any real fatigue…
Audio lends itself to group settings…group
discussion…group gatherings for a
“no-pressure” learning experience...
Lets young people listen and respond...
Not only will it
surprise most people…it
is so “detail-rich” in its presentation of
a Biblical view of history; few will know
how to respond other than surprise…
This series
ties the “loose ends”
together. It ties lose ends in cultural
understanding concerning the foundations
of our institutions: courts, churches,
family, marriage, Constitution, military,
chaplaincy, holidays, Sabbath laws and
customs, commercial issues, law and
government…and much more…
Relates the foundational issues well to
the principles of the Christian faith and
lets you see what our forefathers were
thinking when they began to work on the
foundations of our country...
This will expose - by sheer volume of
information- the follies of the
NON-Christian social-legal reaction over
the years which say this nation was not
founded as a Christian country...
Imagine, listening to yourself as you
explain with clarity and conviction how
the courts once used the Bible in their
decisions; how American marriages once
worked and why; how strongly the churches
and denominations were in the formation of
the Republic, the impact of the many
pastors who were articulate in standing
against the evils of that day…
This set is designed to be faithful to the
historical and inspired record of the
Bible…
Look for these and
MANY OTHER vital issues
of our country’s documented Christian
history… |

These are the compelling biographies
of Christian leadership and the events
created from the RESOLVE of real
Christian faith in action:
|
|
There are ten works that trace the
impact of the Christian faith in
different events and eras of our
Christian heritage!
|
• Imagine you are standing in a crowd
in 19th Century rural Tennessee. You
see Davy Crockett, the famous bear
hunter, wilderness and frontier
fighter, and (later) hero of the
Alamo, standing up in front of you as
he asks for your vote for Congress.
But, this is no ordinary speech. This
was the humbled, deeply convicted
voice of a man who promised that what
he had done in Congress once, he would
never do again! Beside him was the
elderly, simply clad Christian farmer,
known throughout Tennessee for his
extraordinary wisdom and insights.
Davy had been deeply cut in heart by
the lengthy conversations he had
experienced when he first met this
Christian gentleman in an accidental
meeting.
• Imagine yourself on the battlefield
during the Civil War. There you SEE
for yourself, the great General,
Stonewall Jackson, riding carefully
amidst whizzing bullets and cannon
bursts, assuring his men, "All is
well. All is well…" His faith carried
him through many battles and he showed
his firm belief that he was "as safe
on a battlefield as he was in bed", if
the Lord was with him.
• Listen to the broken heart of
Patrick Henry. His famous speech "Give
me liberty or give me death!" may be
the most famous speech in American
history. In the end he drew reference
to an evil "purchased at the price of
chains and slavery." Yet, as he
delivered that speech before the
assembled members at St. John's,
inside his heart ached as he grieved
over the bondage of his own wife!
• Let your imagination soar to the
power of the preaching of the great
minister, George Whitefield. His voice
could be heard 2 miles away! The
control he exercised over his voice
alone caused David Garrick, England's
greatest actor, to remark that George
Whitefield could cause a person to
become euphoric or weep like a child
merely by his inflection of the word
"Mesopotamia."
• Learn the names of the ministers
whom Great Britain's soldiers hunted
down because of their impact upon the
souls of the colonists. Listen to the
reasons British Prime Minister Horace
Walpole said, "Sister America has run
off with a Presbyterian parson."
• Do you know the colonial women who,
as much as any of the men, were
responsible for affecting the cause of
faith and freedom as powerfully as any
number of battles?
• Then there is the HUGE amount of
history on the Early Church
documenting the terrific struggle of
Christianity with the pagan world of
that day. This old classic historic
work from the 1800's is hard to find,
but is now ready for immediate
delivery to you.
|
If you love a good story… then these
are the biographies for you.
Especially if you love GOOD history of
Christian character - the kind of
character which LEADS society - then
you will want to get these character
histories now.

Of particular interest are
samples of your Bonuses:
1 & 2.
Patrick Henry:
The biography which focuses on
the factors which influenced his
rise to courage and influence.
Produced in a
2 volumes (in
audio format), this audio set
will take you from the primary
influences in his life to his
public career. It will trace in
detail the work of the Lord in
his life as it takes you through
the decision-making process of
the great man and how his
Christian faith and character
turned the tables on corruption
and vice, and impressed
themselves upon the life of our
people.
3. General Stonewall
Jackson "The Mystique of
Christian Leadership" -
Here is an audio view of Jackson very
few historians even know, let
alone emphasize. Jackson was a
man of "mystery". He actually
spoke often of the fact that
"mystery was the essence of
life." What did he mean? Well,
unless a person understands the
Christian faith, he may not know
that "the secret of the Lord is
with those who fear Him."
Jackson knew that. He also knew
that such a truth, capturing the
essence of a relationship in
Christ and the empowering work
of the Holy Spirit in the soul,
gave the Christian a powerful
"edge" in life. Jackson's faith
showed him the inner resolve of
soul a Christian was capable of
displaying.
4. King Alfred the
Great: Another extensive
audio biography. This
is the heralded Christian king
of the England. We've all heard
of Magna Charta. We enjoy the
heritage of freedom so strongly
preserved in America and its
predecessor, Great Britain. But,
do we know that this was the
king who foresaw the need to use
Biblical precept in order to
bring stability to the realm?
But, he mused, “What if God's
truth, which is His everlasting
Word, were to be included in the
laws of the people? Wouldn't
that help to guarantee future
stability and freedom in the
culture? Then, when changes did
occur, the culture would retain
its Christian heritage and
values. His life was REALLY many
different lives all wrapped up
in one:

understanding that the future
Magna Charta (3 centuries later)

5.
Davy Crockett: "Not Yours to
Give!" - This audio
book will really surprise you.
The great hunter and soldier
turned Congressman and finally
hero of the Alamo shows the side
of character that made him so
incredibly honest and beloved by
the people of Tennessee -and all
of America. This is the audio
book which shows you the man who
so powerfully influenced the
Christian development and
insightful maturity of the great
frontier hero. Everyone who
listens to this is surprised by
its testimony and effect upon
them!
6.
Signs and Wonders of a New
Civilization: It's
been said that Christianity is a
new way of life. The Romans, who
so long mocked and persecuted
the Christian faith, saw more
deeply. They called Christianity
a new civilization. They didn't
think that would be a compliment
but over the 2000 years of the
advance of the faith, God's
people have been "Signs and
Wonders from the Lord" as Isaiah
foretold. See how this has
played out in history, whether
in ancient times, or in more
modern times (such as the impact
of George Whitefield’s ministry)
as this audio puts Christianity
in perspective and answers the
"why" question: "Why" is it
always the case that as
Christianity is vilified, it
grows in strength, and overturns
the known world by the power of
the Lord?
7 The
Early Church and the Rise of
Modern Constitutionalism Audio:
If I were a betting man (I'm
not, but if I were-) I would
certainly bet that you haven't
heard about the impact upon the
governance of society created by
the Early church. Actually, the
church and its Christian people
were not out to change
government. But, they did do
that nonetheless. How? Because
they're activities touched
everything. There's nothing
which Christians may not comment
upon-.or attempt to redeem and
change. They forced the laws to
react to their way of life so
police were sent to arrest,
harass, malign, or hurt
Christians so often because they
were affecting EVERYTHING in
society, good and bad. Certain
principles began to emerge-and
the Early Church acknowledged it
to be by the hand of the Lord.
These principles would later
become embedded in the fabric of
Western political
tradition-leading ultimately to
the drastic changes on history.
You will enjoy this surprisingly
new research!
8.
The Great Awakening
Let your imagination soar to the
power of the preaching of the
great minister, George
Whitefield. His voice could be
heard 2 miles away! The control
he exercised over his voice
alone caused David Garrick,
England's greatest actor, to
remark that George Whitefield
could cause a person to become
euphoric or weep like a child
merely by his inflection of the
word "Mesopotamia."
9:
Crisis in Conscience:
A Hero's Dilemma Grasp the drama
of what 56 members of the
Continental Congress went
through in their determination
to break ties with the mother
country and sign the Declaration
of Independence. For as Benjamin
Franklin put it..."if we do not
hang together, we will most
assuredly hang separately." They
signed this document for
us...and the price they paid was
enormous.
10.
Women of the American
Revolution:
PDF
These
were the women who changed the
future of America. They
accomplished so much toward
building strong families,
teaching faith to their
children, and supporting their
husbands in their public stand.
These were the women who "made
the man 'happen.'" Theirs is the
character of women who moved the
souls of all those around them.
You will be amazed to discover
how many of these women were
very much like the Proverbs 31
woman! Their character and faith
created character in others -
and provoked marvelous events on
behalf of a free fighting
people.
Each of these offers
are normally valued at $19.95.
That's a value of almost
$300-alone! But...that's not
all. There's more for you!
