Not your typical History Corner book I know, 
but this one oozes history in a really great way, and I couldn't resist!

This bible reached the number five position on Amazon's best seller list. 
No other Bible has met that accomplishment.
Pretty historical, no?

Read on for Dad's take on the book!

Review: The question is, “How can you improve the greatest story ever told?”


The answer is “You can’t.” Dr. Richard G. Lee, General Editor of “The American Patriots Bible, however has printed this King James Version of the Holy Bible and added throughout it's pages stories of The United States of America’s greatest patriots and their relationship to our Judeo-Christian beliefs in founding this country and those who came behind the founding fathers to keep this nation great.


The 14 full color features include “The Bible and American Presidents”, “Faith of the founders”, “The Civil War”, and “The Bible and Famous Americans”. They all do a great job of telling how the Bible has influenced the manner in which this country was founded and continues to do so today. How many of us know or remember what the 3 astronauts of Apollo 8 read to the people of our great nation as they circled the moon?


How many of us know who wrote the poem called “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” that went on to become on of America’s most loved patriotic anthems (ok, well most Southerner's do, as it's in our hymnals and gets sung alot, I know, the irony, huh?)? ((Answer: Julia Ward Howe (yes a FEMALE! ! ). How many of us know how the U.S. Marines came to be called “Leather Necks”? How many of us know how the “Liberty Bell” came into being? 


You can find these answers in any American History book, but by reading “The American Patriots Bible”, you can also find these answers, and quotes from many American Patriots such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, George H.W. Bush, John Kennedy, Benjamin Rush, Samuel Francis Smith, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert E. Lee, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and many, many more true American Patriots. All the historical information is placed with topical biblical passages, making for interesting reading and nuances!


Of all the books I have ever read, “The American Patriots Bible" is the most important!


This book gives us the thoughts of our Heavenly Father, and the thoughts of our American Patriots, who used His thoughts to influence their decisions on founding this great nation, and keeping it the greatest nation on this earth. I highly recommend that each family in this country keep this great Bible in their homes and share it will ALL PEOPLE.


Note: This is a LARGE book- it's one and a half inches thick, and weighs 3 and a half pounds! The illustrations are lovely, and it is definitely a book you won't mind having out on the coffee table!
