Celebrating GOD, Our FOUNDER, at America's 250th Birthday

Who deserves the credit for America’s founding? As our nation approaches its 250th birthday, Celebrating GOD, Our FOUNDER, at America’s 250th Birthday answers with clarity: God Himself.

In twelve short chapters, Cynthia Scott highlights key moments in U.S. history – the Pilgrims and Puritans, the Great Awakenings, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, and more – revealing God’s providence in founding and shaping our nation. Each chapter concludes with a Scripture-based prayer, making history both personal and practical for readers of every generation.

This inspiring resource will:

– Unite generations in carrying forward a legacy of faith and freedom,

– Help students and young adults uncover the truth their history classes left out,

– Strengthen every believer’s faith in God’s sovereignty over America’s story, and

– Equip readers with impactful Scripture-based prayers for the nation and for their own walk with Christ.

Celebrate America’s 250th by celebrating the One who gave us life as a nation.
