THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC

by Paul R Dienstberger

If you have read David Barton, Gary DeMar, or Catherine Millard, then you have an expectation of the type of book that I've written.
If you are frustrated about the content of American history textbooks and you are looking for a Christian perspective, then this book may be of interest to you.
Do you feel history has been revised, rewritten, maybe censored, or Christian influence has just been omitted?
If you are looking for an American history supplemental textbook, that attempts to show a Christian bearing on the USA, then glance at the table of contents below.
