My mission is to remind us of who we are as Americans — of the founding principles of this great nation, and of the faith and virtues required in a people who mean to retain them.
That mission began with a debate around my kitchen table in Woodstock, Georgia. My sons and I were arguing about the state of America, and I kept reaching for books — this one for the Constitution, that one for the Bill of Rights, another for the Founders’ views on tyranny. It occurred to me that what every American needed — what I needed — was a single source. The Founders’ own words, compiled and woven into a narrative that spoke directly to the moment we are in.
What started as a passion project became a two-year immersion. I scoured thousands of texts — letters, speeches, sermons, congressional records — and was often brought to tears by the power and truth in their words. The Founders lived at a time when freedom of speech was threatened, when power-hungry tyrants sought to destroy their liberties, when the fruits of a man’s labor were under siege, and when law was corrupted to serve the few rather than the many. I was stunned by how precisely they described our world today. I hope you will be too.
The result is The Founders’ Speech Series — now the #1 Bestselling Series on America’s Founding, with more than 3,000 five-star reviews across two books. Book One, The Founders’ Speech to a Nation in Crisis, defines and defends the founding principles that made America. Book Two, The Founders’ Speech To Save America, tells the story of how the founding generation defeated tyranny — and delivers their battle plan to us. Book Three, The Founders’ Speech to a Christian Nation, is coming.
My hope is that every reader will feel the same impact I felt — and will be inspired to live out the founding faith and principles that made this country the last best hope of mankind.
