Quotes
'America needs this book to point us to the Book! I've always loved biographies and history. Throw in the Gospels, and I'm caught hook, line, and sinker. Americans have long been told the United States and its educational system were founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Robert J. Morgan shares proof of this in a compelling, documented manner. Oh, how we need to return to our biblical foundations. I love this book!'
--Dr. Lyn Cook, co-owner, Cooks Pest Control, and author, Employee Number 2
'For years debate has raged over a simple question: Was America founded as a Christian nation? That discussion brings emotions to the surface from all sides of the political spectrum. The very fact that good and evil coexist in our Western culture makes it impossible to provide a clear and crisp answer. But one thing is for sure: Christianity and the ideas of the Enlightenment merged on the shores of a young America. The wisdom of the Bible leaked into the culture of the New World and created a conscience, individually and collectively, that is evident to this day. Rob Morgan persuasively captures this theme most effectively in 100 Bible Verses That Made America. Reflect on it. Share it with your children and your children's children.'
--Edward M. Smith, PhD, president, Williamson College
'I love the simple but powerful way Robert J. Morgan connects us to our nation's past. His simple layout allows me to memorize these verses and appreciate their significance. These one hundred Bible promises are God-breathed. The one hundred
stories are God-blessed.'
--Greg Vaughn, Grace Ministries founder and president
'I must confess, I cried off and on all the way through the reading of this book. The stories of sacrifice and faithfulness of regular human beings who used the Word of God as their compass brought me to my knees. No doubt, if we today would use the same guiding tool, God might 'forgive our sins and heal our land.'
'Robert J. Morgan, a master storyteller, has done the hard work of finding true stories and breathing life into them so we may be challenged to walk boldly in the twenty-first century. I accept the challenge and will be using this book as a daily devotional. This book bolsters my courage to stand strong for the cause of Christ.'
--Kay DeKalb Smith, singer, speaker, humorist
'Rob is one of the most gifted storytellers of our time. In 100 Bible Verses That Made America, he uses his knack for story to trace the staples of Scripture in structuring and sturdying our nation, past and present--how the Bible is the foundation of America's plight to provide liberty and justice for all. Bravo, Rob!'
--Andrew Greer, singer-songwriter and cohost of Dinner Conversations with Mark Lowry and Andrew Greer
'Rob Morgan is a pastor with a heart for people to know God. 100 Bible Verses That Made America is a great reminder of our heritage of faith. If we forget our history, we are adrift. We are all indebted to Rob for directing us toward God's involvement with our national destiny. I highly recommend this book for all who wonder if God is still at work in the earth.'
--Allen Jackson, pastor, World Outreach Church, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
'Rob Morgan is a student of the Bible. He is also a student of American history. 100 Bible Verses That Made America explores the crossroads of faith and our nation's freedoms, of Scripture and one nation's statehood.'
--Mark Lowry, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter
'Robert J. Morgan has authored an exceptional book that covers the fine points of the making of America, coupled with one hundred Bible verses. His reach to pre-American influences is masterful, as is his intertwining of significant events (the death of Alexander Hamilton, prayers by George Washington, FDR, and Eisenhower, for example) that unfolded to arguably make America what it is today--though a keen thinker might proffer that America is decisively, if not hopelessly, divided today. If there is hope for unity in the current day of political reality in America, perhaps this careful pathway offered by Morgan is a helpful assist to the national conversation.'
--Dr. Michael D. Charles, chaplain (COL) USA, ret., veteran of seven deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq
'Robert J. Morgan sets out with undeniable clarity the reliance on Scripture by many of our most important government leaders throughout history. It is irrefutable that the structural foundation and underpinnings of our great country are in large part rooted in the Word of God. I encourage you to be involved in the political process and to study this book.'
--William L. Waller Jr., Chief Justice of Mississippi, BG (R) MSARNG
'The spiritual history of America lives in the latest book by my friend Robert J. Morgan: 100 Bible Verses That Made America. I am so grateful for this inspiring and exciting description of great Americans and their faith and the principles that make our nation great.'
--Dr. Jack Graham, pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas
