Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This book, Call to the Falling Eagle, explores who Americans once were in terms of beliefs and values, who we have become in the past century, and how that has changed the course of our nation from a path of ascent to a path of descent. The primary agents that affected these changes are also described. Future prospects for our nation are next examined if current trends in changing beliefs and values of Americans continue indefinitely. This modern experiment is failing our nation. Finally, Eagle explores paths to reverse the declining course of our nation, calls Americans to seek paths of restoration, and offers hope for that restoration.
Last Call For Liberty
Author: Joe MarshallPublisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635251907
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
When establishing the fundamental principles of our great nation, our founders incorporated into them an understanding of the Liberty they sought to secure. An Individual Liberty that is natural, "endowed by our Creator," and for which we are indebted to no man for. In establishing our "limited" Constitution and the Republic it ordains, they incorporated an understanding of both what threatens that Liberty and the means by which "designing men" may undermine them. How many of us today have such an understanding of either? Do we know and have an understanding of the fundamental principles upon which that Individual Liberty-our only true earthly freedom, prosperity, and the "pursuit" of any independent happiness-are even possible? If we don't, how are we to recognize what threatens it, who or what has targeted it for destruction, or how close we are to losing it for generations to come, if not forever? It is with these things in mind, and a father's concern for the very freedom of his children, that a decade-long research was launched: Last Call for Liberty is the result. There is a truth even in the deception that seeks to abolish it. A free people who wish to remain so should know both. It's an epiphany worth careful consideration and, in the sacred cause of Liberty, an absolute necessity, not just for ourselves but, even more importantly, for Posterity and Freedom itself.

The Pursuit of Happiness
Author: Jeffrey RosenPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1668002477
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
A fascinating examination of what “the pursuit of happiness” meant to our nation’s Founders and how that famous phrase defined their lives and became the foundation of our democracy. The Declaration of Independence identified “the pursuit of happiness” as one of our unalienable rights, along with life and liberty. Jeffrey Rosen, the president of the National Constitution Center, profiles six of the most influential founders—Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton—to show what pursuing happiness meant in their lives. By reading the classical Greek and Roman moral philosophers who inspired the Founders, Rosen shows us how they understood the pursuit of happiness as a quest for being good, not feeling good—the pursuit of lifelong virtue, not short-term pleasure. Among those virtues were the habits of industry, temperance, moderation, and sincerity, which the Founders viewed as part of a daily struggle for self-improvement, character development, and calm self-mastery. They believed that political self-government required personal self-government. For all six Founders, the pursuit of virtue was incompatible with enslavement of African Americans, although the Virginians betrayed their own principles. The Pursuit of Happiness is more than an elucidation of the Declaration’s famous phrase; it is a revelatory journey into the minds of the Founders, and a deep, rich, and fresh understanding of the foundation of our democracy.
