Book Description

THE ONE BIBLE THAT SHOWS HOW ‘A LIGHT FROM ABOVE’ SHAPED OUR NATION. Never has a version of the Bible targeted the spiritual needs of those who love our country more than The American Patriot’s Bible. This extremely unique Bible shows how the history of the United States connects the people and events of the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible and includes a beautiful full-color family record section, memorable images from our nation’s history and hundreds of enlightening articles which complement the New King James Version Bible text.

My views:
I was extremely intrigued to get the opportunity to review and study with The American Patriot's Bible in NKJV (New King James Version). Not only is this study Bible extensive in American history it also uncovers the biblical truths that have formed our country as it is today. As it states on the hardcover jacket "The Word of God and the Shaping of America".

There is a lot of beautifully illustrated insert pages, forty-eight to be exact. If your looking for a memorable study Bible this should be your choice. It has a full-color presentation page and family record section, you can even list Military and Public Service, so I really liked to see that in a Bible especially if you were looking to gift this to a service member. The print is in large text, so very easy on the eyes. With a total of 1,632 pages that feature: illustrations, two-color Bible pages, 254 articles, and 66 book introductions , following an index and concordance. Definately the Bible of choice for the family room, your Father, a Veteran, a student learning about American History, or any dear Service Member.

I also loved reading the "extras" that are included in this Bible, I believe it makes reading such a great book much more interesting.

If you have a deep appreciation for the truth on how the Bible has formed its foundations in American history, regardless if your an American or not this Bible can be a great teaching tool. 

Right now at Amazon.Com you can get The American Patriot's Bible for just $26.39

  3. this little kingdom went to market, this one stayed home
    Recently heard in a sermon: God's people need to be working on turning America back to God.

    I've talked a lot recently about the idea of the United States being a Christian nation. I guess that's because it's been on my mind. That idea is one of the supreme teachings of my childhood, both at church and in my homeschooling circles. It really amounted to brainwashing. Moving to the Chicago area was a breath of fresh air for me. Nobody up there knows about this idea. Actually, they probably do, but nobody ever really talks about it. It was really nice. I managed to forget about all the founding fathers and John Locke disguised as gospel stuff. Then I moved back to Texas.

    Most Christians here in this part of the country are really preoccupied with it. I think they believe that the toughest thing facing Christianity today is that it is losing its place as the unofficial civic religion in the U.S. They know this because they go to Wal-Mart a lot, and it's not pretty. They hear people using some cuss words and occasionally find women with children but without wedding rings. Focus on the Family tells them about all the bad things movies and working moms are causing us to do. They've read "The Light and the Glory," so they know that sin was not introduced in America until Maurice Chevalier first came over from Paris.

    Some of them are buying something called "The Patriot Bible." Yeah, I'm not kidding. As one Amazon reviewer says: "The Bible itself is not altered," but is augmented by "colored illustrations and facts about how our country was founded upon the Word of God." One person named Wilma A. Keel loves all the Americanecdotes side by side with Scripture. "Honestly it makes me WANT to read the Bible," she says.

    This is where it really gets bad. Christian faith and nationalistic zeal united in holy matrimony.

    Since I haven't looked at the entire thing and since my wife would object to my spending thirty bucks to pad the "heretics section" of my book collection (complete with Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, James Dobson and a few others), I've got to base my opinion on....

    ...a quick reading made possible by an impromptu trip to Barnes and Noble just now. Okay, they had this thing. It was one of those featured items that gets turned on the shelf so it's cover is completely visible. I could see the flag from the other end of the aisle, so I didn't even need to hunt for it.

    This book features the NKJV text which gets frequently interrupted by patriotic quotes and editorial musings on the lives of famous people who 1) were well-known for doing something American and 2) at least once talked about God or the Bible. It also contains other illuminating commentary. What a great idea to include the "Fireman's Prayer" after the whole fiery furnace account. Too bad those guys had never read it.

    The focus of the Patriot Bible is that many instrumental people in U.S. history claimed God's blessing. Also, the editor seems pretty sure that the great commission is to restore Christianity as the unofficial civil religion of the U.S.

    In other words, scripture is hijacked for nationalistic purposes.

    What about some of the other parts of our past? How about the way we got rich off of slavery? What about manifest destiny? Remember the revolutionary war where we killed lots of image-bearers over unfair taxes? (Maybe Christians should organize an army and attack Washington in 2009.) What about all the people who have had to die for our ideals? We've done some horrible things in the name of Christ. We're not the first...sneezecrusadescoughcough...to try this. I almost vomited when I discovered that TPB stops in the middle of Genesis 4 to quote the text of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

    This is just disgusting and sad. God forgive us for making a mockery of your Kingdom.

  4. The only comment I have is that most people, I would have to say 90% of the US do not even know the history of this country. Also they do not know what the Bible says, because of people like you. Maybe they should avoid this book totally, so they do not learn to much and then they can become Muslims because of the lack of peoples knowledge of America.
