The exciting and miraculous story of the American Covenant continues! With the Revolution drawing to a close, the nation-builders would need their national covenant with the Almighty like never before. Picking up where Volume I left off, Volume II will take you through the spiritually charged events surrounding the creation of the Constitution and the tragedy of the Civil War. You will also discover the undervalued events leading up to the present day, which shine further light on the covenant.. You will learn... * Why James Madison was the chosen one to be "the father of the Constitution." Why the Constitution is a direct reflection of the American Covenant. * Why Joseph Smith so loved the Constitution, and why he felt compelled to run for the presidency of the United States. * Why Abraham Lincoln, like a prophet of old, believed he had received revelation from the Almighty pertaining to this national covenant. * Why Lincoln sought out a Book of Mormon during the darkest days of his presidency, and how this book of scripture possibly helped convert him to the national covenant. * Why the Civil War was so tightly connected with the Restoration and God's efforts to build His kingdom on the earth, and how some of the most under-recognized fulfillment of prophecy occurred as a direct result of this national calamity. * Why one of our more modem-day U.S. presidents felt an inexplicable bond with a prophet of God, and how this relationship was perhaps a reflection of some of the most important prophecies pertaining to God and country. * Why we need to understand and live this national covenant today, like never before.
