978X: America"s Providential History America's Providential History
By Mark Beliles / Providence Foundation

From this idea, the authors trace the hand of God throughout the founding and establishment of America. Quotes from historical figures, black and white art reproductions, along with biblical excerpts and sermons bring a rich flavor to the text. 293 pages, indexed, softcover.
