If she continued on in her argument that this ignoring scandal is done to eliminate the obvious Godly presence in our country at this time she could appear to make great sense of things.
It seemed very odd to me that the picture included of Washington kneeling to pray at Valley Forge was the first time that I have ever seen this work of art. I then wondered why this was. I would have thought that this would have been included in early history textbooks or something like that. To my knowledge I had never read any motivating speeches Washington had delivered to his troops at the blizzard of Valley Forge either. Sure enough though Millard included a very powerful one that I had also never seen. It also seems that Washington's wife Martha was also a very strong in her walk with God as she recorded her habit of getting up at five a.m. and spending an hour in the morning "getting off on the right foot" by reading her Bible.
Cathrine also set out to clear some things out on Thomas Jefferson. This founding father has been referred to as an atheist, a deist and numerous other things other than a Christian. Millard doesn't try to persuade the reader though that Jefferson was a strong Christian because she admits this is not true. She does say though that Jefferson said "I prefer Jesus doctrines to all others." This obviously shows that these teachings guide his person more than any others. On the matter of his own Bible, Jefferson never intended for it to be published or effect others beliefs. He referred to this work as "a wee book" and was only published after his death. Publishing something like this indeed does change the whole situation. .
Now, for some personal reasoning to all this. As I seen Millard express so much personal emotion into this topic I felt as If I were reading something written by Howard Zinn. Like Zinn, Millard seems to have a "change the worlds perspective" type attitude in that she wants to let all know that what they have been taught is only part truths.
