Rediscovering God In America by Newt Gingrich

Take a walk through Washington, DC with Newt and Callista Gingrich to view our nation's historic monuments and memorials. You will quickly find yourself on a profound and surprising walk of discovery and renewal.

Your first stop will be the National Archives, where Thomas Jefferson's immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that all "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," jump off the page with the inescapable truth that from day one in our country's history, the source of freedom was neither the state nor even the Founding Fathers.


If you want to read a book that shows that this country was definitely founded on the Bible and Christianity, then this is a must-read. (Maybe our current president needs to read it!)

Newt Gingrich takes the reader on a "walk" of Washington D.C., taking in everything from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial to the Library of Congress, and several places in between. He also gives thoughts from past presidents on the role of God in our country.

I attended a Christian school from K-12, and a Bible College for 4 years, so I know that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. I didn't know a lot of what I read in this book, such as Scripture verses and other Christian symbols inscribed in about every one of these buildings and memorials. Newt points them out, and his wife captures some of them in photos.

The book is not long - 118 pages, but is an interesting read, and has a lot of photos of Washington D.C. I enjoyed reading it, and found myself educated more about this great country, and learned a lot more about the Christian heritage of this country.
