The Believers Who Built America: 25 Untold Stories of Faith That Shaped a Nation, (Paperback)

<p><b>The story of America is incomplete without the stories of the believers who helped build it.</b></p><p>In January 1776, a pastor in Virginia stepped into his pulpit, preached a sermon on Ecclesiastes, and then threw off his clerical robes to reveal a Continental Army uniform underneath. Three hundred men enlisted that morning. He went on to fight beside Washington at Valley Forge and Yorktown.</p><p>His name was Peter Muhlenberg. Most Americans have never heard of him.</p><p>In <i>The Believers Who Built America</i>, Paul Lindquist tells 25 such stories, one from every decade between the Revolution and the present day. The blind hymn-writer who published under two hundred pen names because no one could believe one woman wrote so many. The Black freedman who sailed to Africa to plant the seeds of a free Christian nation. The Tuskegee scientist who refused six-figure offers from Edison so he could keep teaching poor Southern farmers. The country revivalist whose tent meeting in Charlotte led a teenage Billy Graham to Christ. The college student who refused to leave a chapel service in 2023 and accidentally helped launch a national revival. The campus evangelist gunned down at age 31, whose final morning began with the King James Bible open at his dining-room table.</p><p>Each chapter follows the Paul Harvey "Rest of the Story" tradition: a cinematic opening, a backstory you may not know, a faith awakening, a great work, and a closing twist that reveals what God was really doing all along. Each chapter closes with "Others Who Carried the Torch" - short profiles of the lesser-known believers who quietly shaped the same decade.</p><p>Released for America's 250th anniversary, this is the patriotic Christian history every believer should read and pass along to the next generation.</p><p><b>God has never abandoned America. He has always raised up witnesses. These are their stories.</b></p>
