Product Description
|
A simple walk through Washington, D.C., began a profound journey of personal discovery and renewal for Newt Gingrich, one of America's most influential politicians and commentators, and a recent convert to Catholicism. At the National Archives, the immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights," jumped off the page and into his heart with the simple truth that from day one in our country's history, the Author of freedom was not the state nor even the Founding Fathers.
This walking tour is not just a look at the architecture and beauty of our nation’s capital; it is a tour of American history, of the great men and women, the great events, the great documents and great institutions, the great ideas – all shaped decisively by the genuine belief that we are “a nation under God” – that are at the heart of our freedom as Americans and our identity as a people.
Our basic human rights and freedoms were - and are - "Creator-endowed." Gingrich sounds a clarion call for us to recognize that the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that we hold so dear are inseparable from a sincere and humble acknowledgement that these gifts are only the Creator's to give.
As a bonus, the book includes a "walking tour" of Washington, D.C. Illustrated.
