Hi to my Forum Friends,

 

This is a great six-part television series which I highly recommend.  I watched the first two one-hour episodes -- and then posted this on Facebook.  Take a look and see what you think about it.

 

GOD IN AMERICA -- A PBS Television series.  God in America explores the tumultuous 400 year history of the intersection of religion and public life in America, from the first European settlements to the 2008 presidential election.

A co-production of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE and FRONTLINE, this six-hour series examines how religious dissidents helped shape the American concept of religious liberty and the controversial evolution of that ideal in the nation's courts and political arena; how religious freedom and waves of new immigrants and religious revivals fueled competition in the religious marketplace; how movements for social reform -- from abolition to civil rights -- galvanized men and women to put their faith into political action; and how religious faith influenced conflicts from the American Revolution to the Cold War.

 

Tonight, I well invested two hours of my time to watch the first two episodes of this series.  And, it was a worthwhile investment -- great return-on-investment!

I intend to watch all six episodes.  This is an American Experience that every American - both believers and non-believers - both Protestant and Roman Catholic, should watch.  I believe a person can grow as an American and grow as a Christian by investing the time to watch this series.

Hi all,

 

This really is a very good history series -- not just Christian history, but solid American history.  And, well worth the time to watch.  Some of my Facebook Friends have already viewed and commented on this series.

 

Take a look.  You will be glad you did.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Hi Al,

 

I watched the first two hours and loved it.  Of course, I love both history and Christianity -- so, this gives me a double dose, some of both.   On the thought of history, I read Doris Kearns Goodwin's book "Team of Rivals, The Political Genius Of Abraham Lincoln" last year -- but, I am about a third of the way through reading it a second time.  I am amazed at how much I am enjoying this second reading and how much I seemed to have missed in the first reading.

 

If you are are a history, Civil War, or Lincoln buff like me (I am all three) -- I highly recommend reading this book.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
