Synopsis

A simple walk through Washington, DC, to view the significant monuments, memorials, and artifacts found in our Nation's capital, began a profound journey of personal discovery and renewal for Newt Gingrich, one of America's most influential politicians and commentators. His first stop was the National Archives, where the immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights" jumped off the page and into his heart. From day one in our country's history, the Author of freedom was not the state nor even the Founding Fathers. Our basic human rights and freedoms, which have been the spark for all of America's accomplishments and greatness, were - and are - "Creator-endowed." Gingrich sounds a clarion call for us to recognize that the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that we hold so dear are inseparable from a sincere and humble acknowledgement that these gifts are only the Creator's to give.

From AudioFile:

This short work, written by the former speaker of the House of Representatives and narrated jointly by him and his wife, argues against a purely secular interpretation of our nation's founding and history. They do this by taking a tour of the nation's capital and pointing out references to God in the writings of the Founders and on many of the buildings of Washington, DC. This work will probably not change many minds, but it does have some interesting points to make. Mr. Gingrich is a polished and experienced speaker who gives this production an easygoing and confident reading that is quite easy to follow. Mrs. Gingrich is not so polished, but she quickly warms up to the text. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
