More than 3,000 FIVE-STAR REVIEWS — The #1 National Bestseller on America’s Founding Principles.
As America marks 250 years of independence, one question has never been more urgent:
If the Founding Fathers could speak to us today — in their own words — what would they say?
Author Steven Rabb spent two years inside thousands of original texts, letters, and documents to answer that question. What he built is unlike any book you have read: a single, unified speech — crafted entirely from the Founders’ own words — delivered directly to the America they loved and feared for.
The response from readers has been unlike anything in the category. They’re shaken. Inspired.They do not set this book down. They press it into the hands of their children, their pastors, their elected officials. They read it again.
“To imagine if America’s Founders could come back to speak to us today — in their own words, regarding Liberty, the Rights of Conscience, the Constitution, and what it means to have true Reverence for the Law. In reading this book you will come to realize that they actually have come back to us. Kudos to you Mr. Rabb. Very well done, indeed!” — Chuck Payne, Georgia State Senator
“Brilliant! Nearly impossible to put down. I was in tears just in the Prologue!” — Phoebe
“I implore every American — Republican, Independent, or Democrat — READ! THIS! BOOK!” — Lori M.
The Prologue opens as the Founders enter modern day Independence Hall, called to save the nation they love. Seven men — brilliant, strong, urgent — writing a single speech to a nation in crisis. Before a word is written, you are already in the room with them.
Then the speech begins. Theme by theme, voice after voice — the Founders build their case. Jefferson leads on speech, Washington on conscience, Madison on law, Adams on the morality of the people — speaking over each other as the pace quickens and the seam between them disappears. The argument rising like a tide, and the reader with them.
Then comes the Tyranny chapter — and it hits hard. The Founders are not describing 1776. They are describing right now. When Madison warns that liberty dies not by sudden assault but by gradual and silent encroachments — readers recognize the censors and bureaucrats among us today. When Paine describes the greedy hand of government watching prosperity as its prey — readers feel the weight of how far it has gone. When Madison maps how an unlimited Congress could seize education, religion, and every object of daily life — readers are shaken by how precisely that prediction has been fulfilled. And when Adams describes the cancer of government dependence — how revenue creates pensioners who demand more revenue, until virtue becomes an object of ridicule — readers feel the ache of what has been quietly surrendered: the independent American spirit the Founders gave everything to defend.
In that moment the reader understands something no pundit or politician can give them: how deep the will to power runs in every generation — what we are actually fighting against…and what we are fighting for.
“I fought and bled for this nation for nearly 30 years to ‘ensure the blessings of liberty’ to those who came after me. Those blessings are now being given away. This book is a final wake-up call to the freedom loving people of this nation.” — Wayne Chandler, U.S. Military Veteran
“Once you fully absorb the true meaning and intent of our Founders, you may never look at the world around you the same way again.” — Rob P.
The Founders saw this moment coming. They left us a roadmap — in their own words. This is the book that delivers it, directly and powerfully, to America today. The only question that remains: will we listen?
Loved Book One? Book Two awaits: The Founders’ Speech To Save America — How We Win.
About the Author: As an executive leader and public speaker for two decades, Steven Rabb developed the talent of distilling complex subjects into their essence to help teams achieve their mission. But Steven's own mission changed as he saw chaos and extremism wreak havoc on America's institutions, communities, and lives across our nation. It was then that Steven decided yelling at the television and commiserating with friends was just not enough. He decided to direct his background and attention to the mission he cares about most-defending the principles of ordered liberty.To achieve his mission, Steven spent two years painstakingly compiling the words of the Founding Fathers into a narrative form around themes relevant to our world today. As he began developing The Founders' Speech to a Nation in Crisis, Steven's training and speaking experience came in handy. He scoured through thousands of texts and hundreds of sources to mine the words that would most resonate in a speech designed to recall Americans to their founding ethos and principles. In so doing, Steven has not only crafted a compelling read, but he has also created a single source for the most powerful and relevant words of the Founding Fathers in a treasure that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Steven is currently working on his second and third books in The Founders' Speech series, The Founders' Speech On Tyranny and The Founders' Speech To Save America.
