«America's Godly Heritage clearly sets forth the beliefs of many famous Founding Fathers concerning the proper role of Christian principles in education, government, and the public affairs of the nation. The beliefs of Founders such as Patrick Henry, John Quincy Adams, John Jay, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Mason, and many others are clearly presented.

America's Godly Heritage also provides excerpts from court cases showing that for 160 years under the Constitution, Christian principles were officially and legally inseparable from American public life. The DVDby the same title graphically displays statistics showing what has happened to America since the courts have begun rejecting the Founders' beliefs.

This book is an excellent primer for those who want to know more about what was intended for America by the Founders and what can be done to return America to its original guiding philosophy. It's ideal to share with home gatherings, church groups, and Sunday school classes, or to use as a history supplement for children or schools.»

    Marriage was not originated by human law. When God created Eve, she was a wife to Adam; they then and there occupied the status of husband to wife and wife to husband. . . . The truth is that civil government has grown out of marriage . . . which created homes, and population, and society, from which government became necessary. . . . [Marriages] will produce a home and family that will contribute to good society, to free and just government, and to the support of Christianity. . . . It would be sacrilegious to apply the designation “a civil contract” to such a marriage. It is that and more – a status ordained by God.89
    The courts recognized that God (not government) had made marriage and the family, and that government therefore didn’t have a right to regulate something it hadn’t made. Courts further noted that civil laws made divorce difficult to obtain because the Bible made divorce difficult to obtain. As one court explained:
    This engagement [the legal contract of marriage] is the most solemn and important of human transactions. It is regarded by all Christian nations as the basis of civilized society. . . . The parties cannot dissolve the contract, as they can others, by mutual consent; and no light or trivial causes should be suffered to effect its rescission. . . . [T]he happiness of married life greatly depends on its

    if God-fearing citizens are not involved at the ballot box, God-fearing leaders will not be elected, God-honoring policies will not be enacted, and the respective city, state, or nation will not be blessed by God. Understanding this, Chief Justice John Jay reminded voters in his day:
    Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers; and it is the duty – as well as the privilege and interest – of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.112 (emphasis added)
    The Rev. Charles Finney (1792-1875) similarly reminded Christian voters in his day:

    [T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . God cannot sustain this free and blessed country which we love and pray for unless the Church will take right ground. . . . He will bless or curse this nation according to the course [Christians] take [in politics].113
