100 Bible Verses That Made America: Defining Moments That Shaped Our Enduring Foundation of Faith

Bestselling author Robert Morgan explores 100 Bible verses that powerfully impacted our leaders during defining moments in American history and reflects upon what these verses mean for us as a nation today.

100 Bible Verses That Made America is a tour through the biblical roots of American history—a powerful exploration of our country’s founders, leaders, and the critical moments that laid the foundation for the formation of the USA. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America.

When George Washington was sworn into office as our first president, he did not place his hand on the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, as important as those documents are. Instead, he swore upon and even kissed the Bible to sanctify this important moment. The Bible, Washington knew, had ushered American history to this point.

While not every Founding Father was a Christian, each was knowledgeable about the Bible. And while none of them was perfect, many embraced a deep faith in the unfailing Word of God.

100 Bible Verses That Made America contains:

Short, devotional-style chapters, each featuring a Bible verse and how it influenced a historical figure
Engaging stories spanning from the Mayflower to modern day
Vivid segments that emphasize the Bible as the cornerstone of American history
Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he shares the Bible’s role in the defining moments of American history and its impact on the people of our nation, reminding us of the beauty of faith and country and reigniting our passion for both.

'America needs this book to point us to the Book! I've always loved biographies and history. Throw in the Gospels, and I'm caught hook, line, and sinker. Americans have long been told the United States and its educational system were founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Robert J. Morgan shares proof of this in a compelling, documented manner. Oh, how we need to return to our biblical foundations. I love this book!' -- Dr. Lyn Cook, co-owner, Cooks Pest Control, and author, Employee Number 2

'For years debate has raged over a simple question: Was America founded as a Christian nation? That discussion brings emotions to the surface from all sides of the political spectrum. The very fact that good and evil coexist in our Western culture makes it impossible to provide a clear and crisp answer. But one thing is for sure: Christianity and the ideas of the Enlightenment merged on the shores of a young America. The wisdom of the Bible leaked into the culture of the New World and created a conscience, individually and collectively, that is evident to this day. Rob Morgan persuasively captures this theme most effectively in 100 Bible Verses That Made America. Reflect on it. Share it with your children and your children's children.' -- Edward M. Smith, PhD, president, Williamson College

'I must confess, I cried off and on all the way through the reading of this book. The stories of sacrifice and faithfulness of regular human beings who used the Word of God as their compass brought me to my knees. No doubt, if we today would use the same guiding tool, God might 'forgive our sins and heal our land.' 'Robert J. Morgan, a master storyteller, has done the hard work of finding true stories and breathing life into them so we may be challenged to walk boldly in the twenty-first century. I accept the challenge and will be using this book as a daily devotional. This book bolsters my courage to stand strong for the cause of Christ.' -- Kay DeKalb Smith, singer, speaker, humorist

'Rob is one of the most gifted storytellers of our time. In 100 Bible Verses That Made America, he uses his knack for story to trace the staples of Scripture in structuring and sturdy our nation, past and present--how the Bible is the foundation of America's plight to provide liberty and justice for all. Bravo, Rob!' -- Andrew Greer, singer-songwriter and cohost of Dinner Conversations with Mark Lowry and Andrew Greer

'Rob Morgan is a pastor with a heart for people to know God. 100 Bible Verses That Made America is a great reminder of our heritage of faith. If we forget our history, we are adrift. We are all indebted to Rob for directing us toward Gods involvement with our national destiny. I highly recommend this book for all who wonder if God is still at work in the earth.' -- Allen Jackson, pastor, World Outreach Church, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
