Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the single most important common thread that unites all American Presidents - such a small number of extraordinary people from different centuries, parties, backgrounds and experiences - as they shoulder the overwhelming responsibilities of the office of President of the United States? There is only one possible answer: their faith. As a respected national leader and a man of deep faith himself, Senator Rand Paul has written OUR PRESIDENTS & THEIR PRAYERS in collaboration with James Randall Robison to remind us all that in a country founded by religious people, that abiding and rock-solid belief in God has been the key to each and every president's strength. Senator Paul's inspiring look into the heart-felt sentiments and personal prayers of leaders past and present becomes a powerful testament to our incredible accomplishments: winning the Revolution, writing the Constitution, and leading the world as the most exceptional and longest-lasting democracy in history. It's nothing short of a miracle, then and now. Every man who has answered the people's call to become President has looked for and found answers in his faith as he faced the nation's problems, and each president has frequently described his reliance on the Creator in his public speeches, official proclamations and private prayers. Join Senator Paul in applauding the important role faith has played in our country through over 225 years of triumphs and struggles, justice and injustice, accomplishments and setbacks, war and peace. In OUR PRESIDENTS & THEIR PRAYERS, Senator Paul stands up to the doubters in this most timely and important affirmation of how faith and prayer have always guided us, and why they must continue to do so as we face major decisions for the future of our country.

Download or read book Forty Four Prayers for the 44Th President written by Beverley P. Jordan and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go. Abraham Lincoln Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12. Forty-Four Prayers for the 44th President. The Book That Will Keep The United States On Its Knees for the President. Motivated by a driving need for an economic revival in the United States, but with a clear understanding that spiritual revival is a precursor to economic revival, since we are limited by our humanity in what we can accomplish solely by own abilities, but that our scope and capacities for accomplishments are multiplied exponentially when our lives are spiritually enforced through prayer. Recognizing not only that history has been made with the election of the countrys first African-American President, Barack Obama, but that the office of president, as leader of the free world, carries a solemn responsibility not only to lead in the national economic recovery, but also to be a moral barometer, championing the spiritual revival that is an antecedent to sustainable economic revival in the United States. Beginning at the ground level by praying for wisdom and knowledge, Forty-Four Prayers for the 44th President builds upon forty-four areas that should be a focus of prayer for the President as he looks heavenward on a daily basis for strength for the task at hand and courage for the journey. The book covers many important areas of prayer for the President such as prayer for protection, faith, family, morality, marriage, jobs, patience, humility and listening. One of the most important steps is for the nation at large to recognize the need for prayer and the power of the God to whom we pray. It is here, on the prayer alter that the President, and every other citizen in the United States will find divine guidance and protection. Where the nation must reflect on where it came from and seek impetus in where it will go. Prayer is a no-spin territory. We either believe in the power of prayer to the most high God, or we do not. In the United States, we must start with rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem such as integrity, moral values, and leave a legacy based on those values we hold so dear. As a dedicated Christian, Beverley P. Jordan believes strongly in the power of prayer protecting the United States and guiding its constituents. More so, she believes that Presidents strongest victories will come when he spends time on his knees. The greatest revival and change in which we can believe in the history of America took place more than 150 years ago in the 1850s. One day, Price and Orr report, 'Mr. Jeremiah Lanphier answered a call to action and he started a prayer meeting in New York City. It began with six persons, and then grew to hundreds and then thousands, then spread across every state in America. It is reported that people regained hope and productivity [jobs] increased, as the benefits of spiritual revival overflowed into secular and economic revival. Read her book and find out for yourself how Forty-Four Prayers for the 44th President will propel each and everyone of you into action, first on your knees and then towards the revival we so desperately need. This inspirational prayer book was written as a testament of her faith and belief in the power of prayer; as she witnessed the tremendous mile-stone of the first African-American President, she felt that she could make her small contribution through prayer. Forty-four Prayers for the 44th President is dedicated to President and Mrs. Obama and family. Beverley P. Jordan hopes that they will feel secure knowing that they are being prayed for frequently and consistently.

Download or read book Providence and the Invention of American History written by Sarah Koenig and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Koenig traces the rise and fall of Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman's legend, revealing two patterns in the development of American history. On the one hand is providential history, marked by the conviction that God is an active agent in human history and that historical work can reveal patterns of divine will. On the other hand is objective or scientific history, which arose initially in the pleas of Catholics and other racial and religious outsiders who resisted providentialists' pejorative descriptions of non-Protestants and nonwhites.
Download or read book License to Steal written by Ray W. Rowney, Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tipping the Scales of Justice: How Will “We the People” Respond? Reflections based on thirteen years in Federal Bankruptcy Court and NY Supreme and NJ Superior State Courts, and the expenditure of in excess of $1.6 million: “WITHOUT TRUTH THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE; WITHOUT JUSTICE THE TRUTH BECOMES IRRELEVANT.” Being a Nation ruled by “law”, the greatest danger to the future of America and to the preservation of our individual freedoms is from within our borders, from those who make the laws (Congress), those who enforce the laws (attorneys, judges, courts), and those who administer the laws (President and Chief Executive, commander of the US Armed Forces) governing these United States. This noble experiment of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, rather than being governed by a king or monarch who inherited or usurped such powers, staked its future on the “rule of law”, rather than “rule by birth” or “rule by might”. For America’s first 150 years, “Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Law” were used in Courts, the US Senate, and prestigious law schools to define the law and train persons therein throughout America. Blackstone taught that common law evolved from God, whose laws were absolute, and that no human laws were of any validity if contrary to the Holy Scriptures (the Bible). In 1930 “Blackstone’s Commentaries” were discontinued as the governing source documents in US Law Schools, in favor of the “Case Law” approach, whereby US Laws and the US Constitution would be interpreted in an “evolving” manner based on “trends” in prior court decisions, rather than by Almighty God’s ultimate authority as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. This book, (based upon the Author’s 13 years as a volunteer seeking to address a bondholder grievance), is written to clearly reveal the extremely dangerous and destructive legal rulings and procedures evolving from substituting human authority/judgment for God’s, resulting in a legal system which no longer seeks truth and justice as its primary objective, but simply oversees an “adversarial competition” favoring the guilty under the guise of fairness or legal necessity. The Author carefully chronicles his extended 13-year court experiences, to identify what he believes is both the root cause of our current major problems in the U.S. and the primary reason for the now diminishing prior greatness of these United States of America: REPLACING “THE BIBLE” AND “THE CONSTITUTION” AS THE BASIS OF U.S. LAW AND ORDER, WITH EVOLVING HUMAN VALUES. Just as the Israelites replaced God’s simple “Truths” with a “human” set of extensive rules and requirements to inherit Heaven (which actions led to their downfall), so the US Congress, Courts, and Presidential Administrations have created literally thousands of laws, rules, regulations, precedents, executive orders, bureaucratic pronouncements, etc. significantly weakening and clouding the God-inspired simple principles of our Founding Fathers. In Chapter 13: Summary of Lessons Learned, the Author sets forth “Five Guiding Principles” which he believes can return America to its role as God’s “light on the hill”, to share “the way” with the rest of the world. With all due respect, the Author believes the key US problem today is not the “economy” – and whether it has “cyclical” or “structural” problems – but the deterioration of the moral and character values of individual voting Americans, from thos
Download or read book Progressive Dystopia written by Michael Ozga and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a crossroads in our nation's history and presented with two distinct choices; liberty or tyranny. We either believe in American exceptionalism and the founding principle that man can rule himself. Or we choose a style of governance that centrally plans our very existence. We either believe in the principles espoused by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, et al...or we believe in the principles espoused by Marx, Engels, Bismarck, Lenin, et al... Following The Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin said "we have a Republic if we can keep it." A warning against apathy and a call to arms that freedom requires eternal vigilance. Reagan planted his flag and asked, "if not us who, if not now, when?" We are presented with a choice, between a style of government whereby the power is derived from the people and a style of government that usurps all power from the governed. Progressivism is a villainous perfidy and a style of government completely antithetical to our founding principles.

Download or read book Confession written by Patrick W. Carey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confession is a history of penance as a virtue and a sacrament in the United States from about 1634, when Catholicism arrived in Maryland, to 2015, fifty years after the major theological and disciplinary changes initiated by the Second Vatican Council. Patrick W. Carey argues that the Catholic theology and practice of penance, so much opposed by the inheritors of the Protestant Reformation, kept alive the biblical penitential language in the United States at least until the mid-1960s when Catholic penitential discipline changed. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American Catholics created institutions that emphasized, in opposition to Protestant culture, confession to a priest as the normal and almost exclusive means of obtaining forgiveness. Preaching, teaching, catechesis, and parish revival-type missions stressed sacramental confession and the practice became a widespread routine in American Catholic life. After the Second Vatican Council, the practice of sacramental confession declined suddenly. The post-Vatican II history of penance, influenced by the Council's reforms and by changing American moral and cultural values, reveals a major shift in penitential theology; moving from an emphasis on confession to emphasis on reconciliation. Catholics make up about a quarter of the American population, and thus changes in the practice of penance had an impact on the wider society. In the fifty years since the Council, penitential language has been overshadowed increasingly by the language of conflict and controversy. In today's social and political climate, Confession may help Americans understand how far their society has departed from the penitential language of the earlier American tradition, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a departure.
