From Sea to Shining Sea For Children: Discovering God’s Plan for America in Her First Half-Century of Independence, 1787-1837 by Peter Marshall. This book can be a marvelous gift for a youngster. It can also lay the groundwork for that child to be able to combat the attacks of others who disregard the Christian heritage of the United States of America. This book tells America’s story during its first fifty years. These were the days of Benjamin Franklin and Daniel Boone, Francis Asbury and Charles Finney, Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston. The Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon Trail expanded America’s boundaries from sea to shining sea. But God was also at work in the young nation, giving its settlers exciting opportunities to shape its history and to be His people. This book, written primarily for young people in the middle grades, includes study questions for each chapter and helps its readers see God’s part in American history. "Review" questions stimulate deep thought about the moral responsibility each one of us has to our country and our God. As with the first book, this is a great character building tool for our future citizens. Gently-used clean copy in very good condition $7.50
