George Washington’s Sacred Fire Review
August 16th, 2010
Dr. Peter Lillback and co-author Dr. Jerry Newcombe have created a revelation regarding the historical background of America’s founding father. ‘George Washington’s Sacred Fire’ is the ultimate documentation on General Washington’s life and most of all on his religious beliefs.
One of the main reasons for this extraordinary book is to prove beyond a doubt that the founding father was a devout christian and not as previously thought, a deist. To achieve this after so much time has passed is a challenge indeed. This challenge has led the two authors of ‘George Washington’s Sacred Fire’ on a journey which has taken them fifteen years to complete. They have studied in detail over 20,000 pages of Washington’s known recorded writings, manuscripts, his journals, his letters, and those of his closest family and confidants. As you can imagine, this is an exhaustive process which would indeed take up those fifteen years and require a lot of travel and hard work.
The great importance placed on this book is that if President Washington was a devout christian and the founding father of America, then that would make the country a christian country from the beginning. If he was a deist, then likewise it would open the doors to speculation that the country was founded on a more open view of religion (albeit still based on a belief in god.) ‘George Washington’s Sacred fire’ is an attempt to once and for all prove that the founding president 0f America was indeed an orthodox Trinitarian Christian.
Peter Lillback and Jerry Newcombe create in this book, a picture of a man who showed the qualities of honesty, justice, equity, perseverence, piety, forgiveness, humility, and servant leadership. Through these qualities he became one of the most revered figures in world history and set the cornerstone for what would become one of the most prosperous, free nations in the history of civilization. This book reveals to the reader a newly inspirational image of General and President George Washington.
Whether or not this book convinces you of the founding fathers religious preferances, it will give you a new insight into the man who overcame great odds to create a fantastic nation. The decision you make on whether he was a deist or a christian is your decision and the information provided in this book with its huge quantity of endnoted and references will at least allow you to make an informed decision. Regardless of the question of religion, ‘George Washington’s Sacred Fire’ is an incredible book giving a never before seen insight into the man who became a unique role model for generations of Americans.
This book has ben recomended for public schools, universities, pulpit and church libraries and every patriot in America. Buy it today, you won’t be disappointed.
