"This anthology brings together 20 texts which were vital in forging the United States and its constitution as we know it.
Since the founding of the republic, great thinkers and politicians have set out their visions for America through formal documents, impassioned speeches and momentous treaties. This collection includes some of the most important works that helped define the country that America was to become.
Politicians like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton helped define the founding values of the United States of America. Their bold and revolutionary ideas did not come about unopposed, and they found themselves called upon to explain their reasoning to the wider public. The words of these incredible individuals ring just as true today as when they were first made and provided a firm foundation for the country that is the America we know and love today.
This volume features documents such as:
- The Declaration of Independence
- Benjamin Franklin's Final Speech to the Constitutional Convention
- The Constitution and the Amendments
- The Federalist Papers
- President George Washington's Farewell Address
- The Emancipation Proclamation"

"BOOK SUMMARY: This book takes a deep dive into the Old Testament and New Testament's use and development of the Wedding Metaphor in Scripture. The book develops the importance of the Wedding Metaphor in understanding the heart and character of God Himself. Additionally, we learn some amazing aspects of the plans and purposes of God regarding the Creation from beginning to the end of time. The Wedding Metaphor also supplies a new perspective on understanding the actions of God regarding the life and death of Jesus. This includes some insightful and helpful new understandings of the meaning of the cross (the atonement). Most importantly the book develops a clear view of God's intentions to re-create the Shalom of the Garden of Eden environment in the New Creation to come. ADDITIONAL INFO: This book represents a study of scripture through the consideration of the wedding metaphor. It emphasizes metaphor as a means of 'inter-realm' communication. This facilitates those of us living in the earthly realm, being given a better insight into the events and reality of the spiritual realm."
