I just discovered that a radio interview that I did with Gregg Jackson last fall regarding my book, We Hold These Truths, is now available to listen to online. The book is about how leaders have appealed to two beliefs found in the Declaration of Independence, throughout our nation's history. The first is that God has granted man inalienable rights, and the second is that He providentially governs over the affairs of this world.
Gregg and I discussed how the belief in inalienable rights has affected our laws and culture and how a loss of this belief is affecting both negatively today. We also covered how specific events from our history strengthened peoples' faith that God still was actively involved in the affairs of this world like Lee's surrender to Grant on Palm Sunday and Lincoln's assassination on Good Friday. Other topics include Washington's miraculous escape from Long Island early in the Revolutionary War and General Patton's order to his chaplain to issue prayer cards to his entire Third Army (250,000 in all) asking God for better weather, which happened just days before the Battle of the Bulge broke out, and what occurred next...
Scroll down to September 14, 2008 and click on "Open Lines." My name is listed in the previous hour, but I'm actually in the 2nd. I've contacted them about the error, so perhaps it will be fixed soon. My book is the subject of the entire hour, so if you don't hear that topic within a few minutes, try the other hour of the same date. (Click here for the interview site).
