The Bulletproof George Washington
By David Barton / Wallbuilders
George Washington's part in a July 9th, 1755, battle in the French and Indian War is indisputably one of the most significant events of his early years; his life literally hung in the balance for over two hours. This dramatic event helped shape his character and confirm God's call on him. During the battle, the 23-year-old Colonel Washington had ridden to and fro on the battlefield, delivering General Braddock's orders to the troops. Specifically targeted by the Indians because he was an officer, Washington found himself in great peril. In fact, of the eighty-six British and American officers, sixty-three were casualties; Washington was the only officer on horseback not shot down. This book will captivate you with the thrilling details of that battle and of Washington's gratitude to God for His protection. You'll read his personal account of the battle and excerpts from his letters to his family where Washington tells them of God's deliverance. This account of God's miraculous care of Washington and of Washington's open gratitude for God's Divine intervention could be found in many student textbooks until 1934; however, today few have ever heard it. This edition, newly illustrated, will help restore some of our lost American heritage. Softcover, 62 pages.

Wives of The Signers
By David Barton / Wallbuilders
This book describes those women, who, alongside their husbands, experienced the trials and triumphs of the struggle for independence and the challenge of building a new nation. Who are they? Abigail Smith Adams, wife of one president, mother of another, and perhaps the most influential woman of her day; Annis Boudinot Stockton, wife of Richard Stockton, whose home was looted and burned during the savageries of war; Deborah Scudder Hart, wife of John Hart, who suffered for months as her patriotic husband was bounded and hunted as a criminal;.....and many more. This book highlights these great American women. Though they did not confront the hail of bullets or cannon, though they did not participate in conventions or congresses, they were at the heart of every soul-stirring historic event.

Soon, nothing topped his joy of bringing others to the Lord-and he gave up his baseball career to become a compelling, innovative preacher.
