Francis J. Bremer has spent his entire career broadening our understanding of America’s colonial founders. Now; in this eminently readable collection of biographies; Bremer brings us a surprisingly varied and dynamic group of characters who continue to guide and influence America today. With its cast of magistrates; women; clergy; merchants; and Native Americans; First Founders underscores the breadth of early American experience and the profound transatlantic roots of our country’s forebears. Bremer succeeds in bringing little-known figures out of the shadows; while allowing us to appreciate better known figures in an entirely new light.This is a truly fascinating look at the Puritans with keenly drawn portraits and the insight that only a lifetime of scholarship can achieve. It should become the standard introduction to the field. Written in the mold of Joseph Ellis’s Founding Brothers and Gordon Wood’s Revolutionary Characters; the book will appeal to general readers; students; and scholars alike.

I read the glory books but something stirred in me at the beginning of this year. Just finished and gold and various types of dust has been appearing in my car; on my IPad; my hands; my table; etc... Also oil from my hands and feet. Also something on me that creates a hunger for Jesus when people are around me. I know this is just the beginning of what God has in store for me. I highly recommend you read this book this year. If you have read it before then read it again; because there is something about the spondanous glory this year. I see the glory going into home groups and small communities. I see the glory going into prisons. Get ready!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Connecting the dots on what God is doing in this hourBy Dean SzilvasyI was already experiencing the Gold Dust. I bought the book to hear more about the Glory Realm from this Pioneer in the Glory Realms. Her parents were also Pioneers as Pentecostals. The nuggets that I was able to pull from this book are no small nuggets. Even though Ruth Ward Heflin has passed on this was a timely book for me. And it's a timely book still for the Body of Christ. We are about to see the New Glory Revival sweep through America as Ruth predicted. Miracles will follow Believers; Believers who Follow the Glory Cloud. We just need New Faith to enter the Glory Cloud and then from there Salvations; Healings and Deliverance come with an Ease. Ruth Ward Heflin was a Pioneer in the SPIRIT; in the Glory Cloud. There are so many things you need to hear from her mouth the way she tells it. Not only is this book worth the read it will add tons of worth to your life here on earth and; of course; add to your treasures in Heaven.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
