Hidden Facts of the Founding Era

At the age of 29, Benjamin Franklin accepted Christ as his Savior and wrote: “Christ by his Death and Sufferings has purchas’d for us those easy Terms and Conditions of our Acceptance with God, propos’d in the Gospel, to wit, Faith and Repentance.” But you won’t find that fact in any history book. The Treaty of Tripoli does not include the infamous phrase, “the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.” That phrase was actually found in a summary of the contents of a letter written by the king of Algiers, but you won’t find that fact in any history book. In Hidden Facts of the Founding Era, you are invited to join Bill Fortenberry in a quest to uncover hidden treasures of American history and strengthen your confidence in our nation’s Christian heritage. Fortenberry takes on a list of lies and myths used to argue against America’s Christian founding, and he meticulously dismantles them by unveiling forgotten original source documents. Fortenberry’s work is an invaluable resource for any student of American history. “I have been reading books on America’s Christian heritage for many years. I have yet to find an author who counter argues from primary sources better than Fortenberry.” – Dr. Andy Woods, President of Chafer Theological Seminary
