The Light and the Glory: Did God Have a Plan for America? by Peter J. Marshall
5.0
4.5 stars // finished June 2021
This was a good one to finish right before the Fourth of July. Basically talks about the divine role in the foundation of America. It's quite honest about the shortcomings of people we tend to revere, while still emphasizing, God used them in spite of their weaknesses.
My favorite thing about this was the writing style- it's very narrative and descriptive, you can almost see events unfold.
Content: there's several quotes that include the the word "d---n" (one quote is the title of a chapter) and also some of the stories (especially towards the beginning, depicting torture) can be very violent and may disturb more sensitive/younger readers.
