He chopped down his dad's cherry tree and confessed to the act. Beyond this childhood fable, the depiction far too many Americans absorb of George Washington spirals downward. His virtue is downplayed. He's colored with hypocrisy. And he's cast as a Deist ambivalent about God's vigor and involvement in human affairs. With today marking the 210th anniversary of Washington's death, the WND Superstore is proud to offer an entirely different and immensely more accurate look, "Life of Washington." Years of attempts to soak Washington's reputation in the secular-revisionist spin cycle can't scrub away the book's bountiful and unbending signs of the leading founding father's abiding faith. Originally published in 1842 by the American Sunday School Union, this simply written book offers an intimate examination of Washington's deep reverence for God and unabashed gratitude for Christ's salvation. The content is both stirring and unnerving. The latter particularly so against a backdrop where the current president informs us that America is "no longer a Christian nation;" the American Civil Liberties Union pursues criminal charges against teachers who pray at private events; the economy chokes, wars marathon on and on and Americans witness endless evidence of cultural rot. Anna C. Lee, the niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, authored the "Life of Washington." Originally translated into over 20 languages, it ranked among the most widely read biographies of Washington during his time. Lee documents:
As modern revisionists seek to minimize or erase all traces of America's Christian heritage, this biography sheds a remarkable light of truth on the life of our first president - and sparks insightful thinking on how thoroughly the godly devotion of a leader impacts the fate of a nation. |
