“Absolutely spectacular. This book is must-reading for anyone not
yet fully convinced that God’s hand has been on America from the
very beginning. The stories in it are genuinely staggering,
fascinating, eye-opening, and deeply inspiring. Please do yourself
a favor and read this book!”
—Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and
If You Can Keep It
“Whether it was God or the gods, some crucial moments in American
history have turned on providential events that defy rational
explanation. Medved has a keen eye for such semi-supernatural
stories, and tells them with his customary clarity.”
—Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner;
Author of Founding Brothers
“Michael Medved does a beautiful job of piecing together the most
providential parts of our history—from the story of
“indestructible” George Washington to “the miracle of Lincoln.” And
I can’t help but agree with his argument: To believe America is
exceptional is simply to be grateful for what God has given
us.”
—Paul Ryan, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives
“Michael Medved's wonderful new book makes a compelling case for
two beliefs that many of us hold dear—that God's hand is in
history, and that America is a divinely favored country. Given the
dark mood of the moment, The American Miracle could not be more
timely.”
—Joseph I. Lieberman, former U.S. Senator from Connecticut;
Democratic nominee for Vice President
“Without denying the difficulties our nation faces, Medved reminds
us that we have faced problems in the past and endured
because of our national ideals, and that the same principles
that have driven American exceptionalism in the past can help light
the way out of our present darkness. Read this book to renew
your hope in America.”
—Dr. Arthur C. Brooks, president of American Enterprise Institute;
author of The Conservative Heart
"This is a brisk, joyous romp through some of the most critical
providential moments that made America an exceptional nation, told
by a Yale-trained historian… who writes with brio and
conviction.”
—Karl Rove, Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush
“If you love reading American history, or any history written like
a page-turning novel… or just love great writing—the artistry of
words that often read more like poetry than prose —you will love
this book. The fact that Michael Medved gives the reader all
of these makes this a must read.”
—Lanny J. Davis, former Special Counsel to President Clinton;
author of Truth to Tell
“Michael Medved has written an engaging, affectionate and
historically compelling book about America…The American Miracle is
a source of knowledge, a source of comfort, a source of
inspiration. After reading it you’ll know America better, and
treasure her more.”
—Peter Wehner, White House aide to Presidents George Bush and
George W. Bush; Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center
“Michael Medved has written a timely study of the centrality of
faith and providence in the American story, challenging Americans
to reaffirm the religious ideals on which their nation was founded.
Read it and be inspired.”
—Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, former Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew
Congregations of the Commonwealth; author of Not in God's Name
"Michael Medved chronicles in intriguing detail how America's
unlikely founding and enduring success can't be explained by luck
or coincidence, but only one thing: divine providence. After
reading this book, even the toughest skeptics will be hard pressed
not to believe that God had a role in America’s fortune."
—Bill Bennett, Secretary of Education under President Reagan;
author of America: The Last Best Hope
"Medved speaks truth boldly and reasons carefully... and he is also
a most gifted writer. In The American Miracle he reminds us that
there once was a day when Americans knew the history of our country
as a story of promise and providence, and he is confident that
Americans can learn that story again."
—R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary
“Even readers well versed in American history will enjoy his
account of the random coincidences and quirks of fate that lead to
the founding of the Republic of Texas and the annexation of
California…[a] fascinating and provocative book.”
