Description
This book starts with some brief comments about the American Revolutionary War and the document that kicked off that historic event. Then it briefly discusses ten areas in our culture and society that seem to be pitfalls keeping the average citizen from experiencing the high ideals that the founding fathers had in mind for future generations of Americans, such as life, liberty, and happiness. Though it is written from a Christian/biblical perspective anyone can read this book and relate to its content in a significant manner. The Psalms are the focal point of the discussion and central source of resolution from the spiritually delicate and difficult situation we find ourselves in today.Though it is highly advisable to recommend the reader to receive Christ as his or her personal Savior, this author is not naive to think or expect all to do that. However, for nearly three thousand years the Psalms have spoken to the human heart in all sorts of situations and political systems. Though human history has marched on like a relentless machine disregarding our egos and sense of self-importance; the fundamental flaws of the human heart remain the same. People struggle with the same stuff today as they did when the psalmist strummed gently on the ten string lyre, and was moved by the Spirit of God to write the inspired words we find in the book of Psalms. Through peering into the soul of the psalmist who lived millennium ago, we somehow can see the reflection of ourselves in a timeless way. Though time marches on the Psalms have a way of making human history stand still, at least spiritually anyway.
