DVD Reviews of America's Godly Heritage

DVD Review: A must see!
Summary: 5 Stars

America's Godly Heritage is a video on the history of how God was indeed a core foundation to our American heritage and stayed that way until 1963 when a major tragic event took place; the Supreme Court decision to cease school prayer in public schools. Prior to this ruling, David Burton shows us proof of how God and His Holy Word (Bible) was integrated by our founding fathers and in our public, government school textbooks.

In this video, Burton covers several founding fathers quotes, old newspaper clippings, textbooks that included God, an overview of the truth behind the "Seperation of Church and State" clause, other Supreme Court rulings, how our own government originally was formed based on scriptures from the Old Testament, et cetera.

In my opinion, the explaination of the Thomas Jefferson's Seperation of Church and State clause, that has been blown out of context, was worth this video in gold alone. Not to mention the difference in number of precedents used in the Supreme Court ruling to cease public school prayers versus a prior ruling some years before. That tid bit of knowledge was also worth its weight in gold.

Burton does a good job of sticking to the point (no rabbit trails in this video) and really nailing the hammer on the head that there is, without a doubt, a certainty that God and His Word are the foundation of what this country was founded on. And to show the consistancy of God's character, when a nation fears Him, they will be blessed. But when a country turns their back on God, expect the opposite. What I mean is that in this video, Burton shows us that after the 1963 Supreme Court ruling to cease all school prayer, various problems our society currently faces went from being a relatively low problem to skyrocketing over the years.

I especially enjoyed seeing the addition of the old primer's used in schools prior to 1963 and how scripture was used when teaching the ABC's. We have a few of the old primer's we use with our children and can confirm God's word is throughout them all. That was a nice addition to this video.

After viewing this video, you ought to feel the need to see it again or at least desire to pass it along to someone else to see that the roots of our country were grounded in God's Word. Then again, there will always be those who will disagree with the contents of this video and will somehow justify their ideology that God was not the foundation of this country, but that doesn't change the facts, which are clearly presented throughout the video.

While I felt this video was too short (just under 60 minutes), Burton does a good job of keeping your attention and enlightening you to the truth. He also includes some sarcasm that made us laugh, while we wondered how he kept a straight face. Wonderful video, highly recommend!

*FYI-at the time of this writing, this is available to view for Netflix subscribers in the instant play section.*

DVD Review: Extremely eye opening
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is a very eye opening documentary on the facts of the origins of our country. I have studied high school history text books from 50+ years ago and it's a stark contrast to the revisionist history that is presented to today's young skulls full of mush.

I have never before seen such an in depth understanding of the origins of separation of church and state. Additionally, I'd never before seen such good coverage of the history of why and when the concept of that got completely twisted and manipulated by a few.

If you are a patriotic American, I definitely recommend this video to you.

DVD Review: The forgotten history of America
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD presents the beliefs of the Founders concerning the role of Biblical principles in education, and government. This is an excellent introduction on the Founding Fathers' intent for the US. This is a history lesson that you probably will not find in our public schools and colleges. Highly recommended!

DVD Review: wish all could see
Summary: 5 Stars

If only all of our history teachers would show this film. A wonderful video (with documentation) that explains the christian roots of our country. Buy it for you and your kids and learn some real history !

Description of America's Godly Heritage

America's Godly Heritage clearly sets forth the beliefs of many of the famous Founding Fathers concerning the proper role of Christian principles in education, in government, and in the public affairs of the nation. The beliefs of Founders like George Washington, John Adams, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Wilson, George Mason, John Quincy Adams, and many others are clearly presented.

America's Godly Heritage also provides excerpts from court cases showing that for 160 years Christian principles were part of official American public life. You'll see numerous charted statistics showing what has happened to America since the courts began rejecting the Founders' beliefs.

America's Godly Heritage is an excellent primer for those who want to know more about what was intended for America by the Founders and what can be done to return America to its original guiding philosophy. This DVD is ideal for sharing with home gatherings, church groups, and Sunday School classes, or to use as a history supplement for children or schools.
