American Matriarchs—Wives of the Signers
American Matriarchs—Wives of the Signers

All the signers of the Declaration of Independence suffered financial loss having joined the cause of freedom, and in some cases, they sustained complete fiscal ruin. These men were not alone in their sufferings, for their wives, children, and other family members were similarly objects of British wrath. Absent from historical records, however, are laments on the part of the signers' wives concerning the cause to which their husbands had given their lives and fortunes. As noted by the authors, "Such troubles must have fallen heavily upon the women of the household, yet rarely a complaint do we find in their correspondence. On the other hand, the letters and other recorded utterances of the wives of the signers breathe the utmost devotion, not only to their husbands, but to the great cause for which their husbands had thrown life and fortune in the balance."Though they knew not what the future held, the patriotic signers calculated the cost of such a venture prior to affixing their names to the Declaration. Though the ensuing pages contain only thumbnail sketches of these courageous men and their wives, they are once again sent to press with the hope that a deeper appreciation for America's glorious heritage will arise and cast the rays of a meridian patriotic light upon each and every reader. At a time when the remarkable sacrifices of America's Founders are being held up to the ridicule of Marxist professors and their sycophant disciples, old and young alike need to be apprised of a glorious national heritage which the Signers and other Founding Fathers have bequeathed to America.

.download-link {color: white !important;} In August of 1992, Democratic Representative from West Virginia, Mr. Nick Joe Rahall, placed a request before his colleagues in the House to set aside Thanksgiving week as a time to celebrate the Christian heritage of America. Tragically, Christians throughout America have failed to capitalize on what Congress did in 1992. Denominational leaders have failed to move the interests of Christ forward even on those very rare occasions when Congress hands them a gift such as this. For more than twenty years, this opportunity has lacked wide-scale support from Christians. It is no wonder that liberal main-line denominations have treated it with disdain, but it is inexcusable that Bible-believing denominations have failed to arm their members with the resource necessary to help stem the tide of spiritual and moral decay in our nation. Until Christian leaders begin to focus on the work to which Christ has called them, and not merely their own parochial passions, the Church in America will continue its decline.To receive your free packet concerning America's Christian Heritage Week, please click the button below...DOWNLOAD CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK RESOURCE

Leading Clergy of the American Revolution
Leading Clergy of the American Revolution

It may be argued that the American colonial clergy were the leading influence for American independence. The Protestant Reformation of the authority of Scripture and the priesthood of all believers gave rise to republican governments in lands were the influence of the Reformers took firm hold. In America, the authority of Scripture was often unopposed by church councils or any single church authority. As the influence of the Reformers spread, the role of monarchs was diminished or replaced by republican forms of government, and in the American colonies, ministers were the primary advocates of republican government.The lives and legacies of stalwart pastors who advocated the principles of biblical republicanism and divinely bestowed inalienable rights are recounted in the pages of this volume. Should America recover its former glory and goodness, it will do so upon the shoulders of the biblical principles advocated throughout her thirteen colonies by her pastors. Please help us advocate America's glorious heritage... NOTE: Sold at Amazon Paperback ISBN-13: 9798358160378 407 pages Hardback ISBN-13: 9798360701392 407 pages Dimensions: 6 x 0.92 x 9 inches
