ONE NATION UNDER GOD completely captures the rich history of this most personal communication with God. James P. Moore follows prayer in the United States from the time of the first settlers to the present day, including the prayers of the Native Americans, the prayers of the preachers who established religious worship in the "New World," the prayers of the Founding Fathers, the prayers of a people enslaved, the prayers of men and women during the Civil War, the prayers of the men who fought two World Wars and the Vietnam conflict, and the prayers of a modern world in crisis. These are the prayers of saints and sinners, the victorious and the downcast, the newly-arrived and the born and bred. Revealing much about how Americans have viewed themselves, their hopes, their dreams, and their spirituality, this book offers a chronicle of the entity that more people are open to today than perhaps any time in this nation's history.
