I am hugely celebrating my finishing this book, because it’s my final book for all of high school, so that’s awesome.
The information was interesting and the writing style is good, but I didn’t realize it’s pretty much a textbook, which I don’t love. Overall 4/5 stars.

A great study in which DeMar calls us back to the USA’s biblical and historical foundations. He gives ample evidence that the USA is indeed a Christian nation.
