Synopsis

For You They Signed is an antidote to the rampant historical revisionism dominating the schools and media today. Our founders were not atheists. Nor did they believe in some deistic God who was disconnected from the affairs of men. In fact, they were one of the most theologically literate and God-fearing generations in the history of Western civilization. Our Founders invoked the name of Jesus Christ in their public prayers, and appealed to the God of the Trinity in formal acts of Congress. They affirmed that Christian laws and Christian morals were the only safeguard for freedom. It was this foundation of Christianity that was used of the Lord to lay the foundations for liberty in America. To understand America, you must understand the character and faith of the men who built it. That is precisely what you get in For You They Signed. Endorsed by Christian historian, David Barton of Wallbuilders, Oliver North, Judge Roy Moore and Stan John of Focus on the Family! Teach your family history, character and Scripture at the same time. This beautiful volume gives you the tools you need to train up young nation-changers. Revisionist history is exploded as Marilyn chronicles the lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Our Founders were not atheists and deists, but God-fearing men, many of whom left clear written testimony of their faith in Christ. Read why Jefferson, Franklin, Hancock, Adams and the other Signers appealed to the laws of nature and of nature's God in declaring America free and independent. By reading about one of the 56 Signers per week, you can give your family more than a year's worth of exciting family times. Learn together about the sacrifices made by these great men for our freedom. Inspire your children to become citizens who will reclaim the Christian heritage of America. Code inside book gives you access to a companion ebook containing coloring pages for little hands to complete and hang on the refrigerator to learn to identify the Signers, character quality definitions and Scripture verses to learn (one per week,) and Family Fun Quizzes to use every other week to review the information and make it stick. Perfect for Dad to teach from at family time, or a great resource for a year's worth of American History study for a student!

Review:

More than 2.000 years ago, Nehemiah undertook the rebuilding of his nation. As part of the process, he constructed a House of Heroes (Neh. 3:16) by which those in his generation could learn of the courage and sacrifices made by previous ones. Through For You They Signed , Marilyn has created a much-needed inspirational House of Heroes for this generation. --David Barton of Wallbuilders

Many thanks for sending the copy of For You They Signed. This is a great book and a story that needs to be told! It is my hope that the Good Lord will bless all you do to glorify Him. Semper Fidelis, Oliver L. North --Oliver L. North, Founder and Honorary Chairman of Freedom Alliance

Thank you for your gift of For You They Signed. I have enjoyed reading of our founding fathers and the sacrifices they made to establish our beloved Country. Their dedication to principle and devotion to duty during the perils of the war for independence is an inspiration to our generation in the midst of present difficulties we face as a nation. I want to thank you for the many hours and personal sacrifices you made to bring to us the story of the brave men who risked their lives for our freedom. May God bless your efforts to restore the integrity and Christian virtue of our founding fathers to our youth today. Your book will be kept as a valuable treasury to my library. - Roy S.
