The Hand That Holds America: 50 Moments of God's Hand on America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996343737)

For two hundred and fifty years, that hand has rested on this country: in its founding, in its wars, in its revivals, in its sorrows, and in moments no human hand could have shaped. A fog rolled in at Brooklyn Heights when the army should have been destroyed. A Bible was opened to the right page at Yorktown. A bullet missed an American president by the width of a finger in 2024. The same hand was at work two hundred and forty-eight years apart.

The Hand That Holds America gathers fifty true moments, from the first Mass at St. Augustine in 1565 to a chapel in Kentucky that filled with revival in 2023. Some are easy to call providence. Others arrived wrapped in suffering, and their meaning came clear only with time. This book holds both.

Written for America's 250th birthday, these fifty moments are set side by side so one conclusion can rise from all of them: God has had His hand on America from the beginning, and He has not taken it off.

• Fifty true moments across 250 years of American history
• A bonus chapter on the 2023 Asbury Outpouring
• An appendix of nineteen founding texts where God is named
• The faith of all forty-six presidents, Washington through Trump

A perfect read for the semiquincentennial, for anyone who loves this country, and for everyone who still believes the hand that has held us holds us still.
