God's plan for America in peril, 1837-1860

  • 1 Want to read

This third volume in the series highlights the events leading up to the Civil War: the Mexican War, the Gold Rush, the skirmishes of Bleeding Kansas, the emergence of Abraham Lincoln, and the dark saga of John Brown. Just as they did in 1857, many Americans today feel a profound sense of unease when they think about their country. This book shows how ordinary men and women, willing to be used by God, can change the course of history. It is a stirring narrative of an ominous time that can guide and inspire us through the gathering darkness of the present day. - Jacket flap.
