Bøger i God's Plan for America serien

This fast-paced, absorbing narrative and sequel to the bestselling The Light and the Glory covers that fragile time in America's history from 1787 to 1837 when a newborn nation faced challenges and overcame her growing pains by clinging to her Christian heritage.

Now revised and expanded for the first time in more than thirty years, this classic will now be available for a new generation of readers.

In a country founded on the promise of freedom, what supported the disgrace of slavery? And would there ever be freedom for all? "Sounding Forth the Trumpet" brings to life one of the most crucial epochs in our nation's history: the events leading up to and precipitating the Civil War. Relive the frenzy of the Gold Rush, the harsh realities of the Mexican War, the skirmishes of Bleeding Kansas, and the emergence of Abraham Lincoln. Throughout this engaging narrative, the tragic issue of slavery provides focus, from John Quincy Adams' struggle to preserve the right of petition in Congress to the history-changing election of 1860. Now repackaged for a new generation, "Sounding Forth the Trumpet" exposes a dark chapter in our nation's history and at the same time explores the young nation's drive toward freedom and independence.
