Ares God of WAR

Rockford, Ill. (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

In the new book Christianity: Lifeblood of America’s Free Society (1620-1945) (published by CrossBooks), John A. Howard takes a look at the importance of Christianity throughout American history.

According to Howard, the teaching of American history has given ever-dwindling attention to the founding of the United States and its phenomenally successful development. That failure to acquaint new generations with their proud heritage is appalling, he says.

For most of the American populace, God, family and patriotism were of fundamental importance. All three of those commitments require the individual to subordinate his needs and desires to obligations of a higher order. Cooperation, friendliness, helpfulness and sacrifice are byproducts of those core values. It is because those values prevailed among Americans in World War II that the troops and the people on the home front performed so well that they earned the designation of the Utmost Generation.

Each stage in Christianity is followed with a number of supplementary quotations that Howard has gathered over his 50-year career. These entries will prove mainly caring to clergy in preparing their sermons.

Howard challenges readers to look back at the age of Christendom that the country was founded upon and resurrect their faith in the Lord.
