Description

Another illuminating view of American history from Peter Marshall and David Manuel, who describe the critical, life-and-death struggle against slavery, for which such a horrible price in blood was later paid for our national sin. I pray that this book will open our eyes to the similar struggle today with another group of disenfranchised people – unborn babies – and help us to avoid a similar national judgment from our holy God of heaven, the defender of the defenseless — Dr. Bill Bright, founder and president, Campus Crusade for Christ International In galvanizing, scholarly prose, Peter Marshall and David Manuel narrate Americas terrible journey to the atoning altar of the Civil War. Much of their stirring history is set in the halls of Congress, where truths trumpet sounded forth to call us to repudiate slavery, the nations most grievous sin. — John Ashcroft, United States Senator, Missouri
