The Remarkable Providence That Shaped a Nation, How We've Forgotten, and Why We Must Remember.
America was a miracle. Most of us have forgotten why.
Israel was the first nation brought into covenant with the God of Scripture. America was the second, the only country that, at its founding, invited God into a covenant with its people. Don't Waste the Miracle makes that case with theological precision and the documentary record of the founding itself.
It traces the providence that carried a fragile people through impossible odds, the Christian convictions written into the Declaration and the Constitution, and the pulpits that lit the Revolution before a single shot was fired. It is history most of us were never taught, told by a pastor who has spent years in the primary sources.
But this is not a nostalgia project. It is a warning and a calling. A nation that forgets the source of its liberty will not keep it. This book was written to help a generation remember what it was handed, and refuse to waste it.
"The founding of this nation is the Great Miracle."
This book is biblical, historical, and unflinching. It will challenge what you've been told, anchor you in what is true, and call you to live like it.
This book is a wake-up call. Read it. Then mobilize.
An incredible resource for any reader trying to make the case that America really is a Christian nation.
A bold and timely call to remember who we are.
Nathan's ability to connect historical insight, present-day relevance, and God's Word makes this a must read.
