Journey of Promise: West From Sempringham

Was the United States of America created for a divine purpose? Who were the first Europeans who settled this land, what was their dream and vision? What valuable information did the Native Americans offer that helped form part of our Constitution? What were the religious beliefs of the Founding Fathers? What is the powerful significance of Sempringham, England to the history of the United States of America? All of these questions and more are included in this fascinating book by the late Charles W. Allen. Journey of Promise West From Sempringham, follows the Christian drama that began with the earliest Christian history --the beginning of Thomas Jefferson's 'first age' -- and presents major events that helped shape the efforts that, over 18 centuries, led to the founding of the United States of America. Most of our Founding Fathers considered America to have been established through a divine process and for a divine purpose. Author and historian Charles W. Allen expertly connects the historical dots to help the reader to navigate the nearly two millennia period, and to consider themselves what the possible reason for our nation's founding is, and what its destiny might be. In November of 1820 Thomas Jefferson wrote a fascinating letter to Reverend Jared Sparks. In it he outlined some of his closely held religious beliefs and his vision for America where the pure teachings of Jesus would be practiced. This is just one example of the widely held belief that America and the United States of America exist because God oversaw its creation.This is a well-researched book which uses the King James Version of the Bible for its scriptural references. This book contains 8 short biographical sketches of early Puritans settling in New England.
