When the odds were stacked against us; and there have been many times when the great experiment we call America could have and should have failed; did God intervene to save us?That question; posed by authors Chris and Ted Stewart; is the foundation for this remarkable book. And the examples they cite provide compelling evidence that the hand of Providence has indeed preserved the United States of America on multiple occasions. Skillfully weaving story vignettes with historical explanations; they examine seven instances that illustrate God's protecting care. Never; at any of these critical junctures; was a positive outcome certain or even likely. Yet America prevailed. Why?"No man is perfect;" write the authors. "And neither is any nation. Yet; despite our weakness; we are still; as Abraham Lincoln said; the best nation ever given to man. Despite our faults; this nation is still the last; best hope of earth." In short; God still cares what happens here. This reassuring message is a bright light in a world that longs for such hope.

Not the be-all end-all; but a wonderful guide to follow as long as you also look for other resources. I used this to help me pass my comprehensive exams; and will continue to use it in my theoretical publication articles.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

It takes a mostly quantitative approach; but also has information on qualitative processes. It's nice because you can jump around the chapters and get the information you need. Very practical as well as theoretical so you can really know what to do instead of just getting information in the abstract.
