Book report for Amazon on "The 5000 Year Leap" by Skousen
You need to read this because it is a rare jewel of a book on a subject which is the most important subject to the human race: the role of government in the lives of human beings. Do you ascribe to the all-too-common notion that without government action, society could not prosper and life would be unfair? You may be partly right but the ultimate convictions of the founding fathers was not quite what you may have been taught and conditioned by popular media outlets and, yes, the public education system to believe. There really has been in the past and can again be government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The founding fathers found the way via a long, tedious but amazingly and divinely inspired effort - and they laid it out in the remarkable U.S. constitution, the inspiration and guidance for which was spread over the thinking of people throughout human history, even before the birth of Christ and actually embodied successfully in two ancient societies. Believe it or not, this is a very exciting account, one which will first lead you through the thought processes of the founders and via compelling questions leading from one to the next, through the "28 principles" embodied in the U.S. Constitution. You will be inspired to go out and do what the author and his student did: teach the truth about it!
Summary of The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World
The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times.
In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.
