Rediscovering God in America - Newt Gingrich

This book gives a wonderful walking tour of the major monuments within the Washington DC area as well as a description of the building of the monument in question and the purpose behind it. But the most important function that this book performs is the fact that it relates the Christian motivation behind these monuments, and the men they commemorate.
While this book did not deepen my faith, it did in fact reinforce my understanding of the foundation of the United States upon God. The fact that this book outlines the many monuments that have deep religious ties to the creation and furtherance of this great country is paramount. While there is a movement in the United States to eradicate all vestiges of the Godly references in all federal and state buildings and other properties, one has to wonder the lengths to which the American populace will allow this movement to progress. Will they be successful in defacing the majority of the monuments and have no outcry of public opposition?
My personal hope and prayer is that the reality of the defacing of the country will be realized by the majority of Americans and it will be put to an end. This book can go a long ways to waking up Americans to the absolute bedrock foundation this country has with God.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in (re)discovering the foundational aspects of the United States!
