THE FOUNDERS' SPEECH TO SAVE AMERICA (The Founders' Speech Series) Paperback – April 27, 2024

The Founders saw it coming. They named the enemy. They defeated it. And every step of the way, they told us how they won.Steven Rabb’s previous work — read and shared by more than one hundred thousand patriots and praised in over 4,000 five-star reviews — was a call to remember who we are to a nation in crisis. This time their voice is calling all patriots to stand and save the country they love.Even as America celebrates 250 years of independence, every American feels it: the Declaration was a battle in a war that never ended. The front lines have simply moved — from the shores to our classrooms, our churches, our families.The Founders saw it coming. They name the family as the bedrock of national morality and the first link in our love of country. They lay out the principles of a Classical Christian education — that without faith there can be no virtue, and without virtue no liberty. And they call out the Sophists by name — the false philosophers who would destroy the original fabric of society, removing God from our classrooms and homes until we are no more than the flies of summer.The book is not written by Steven Rabb. It is written by them. Every word is drawn from the actual speeches, letters, and resolves of the generation that built this nation — to the generation that must save this nation. A call to courage. A call to faith. A call to action.Now more than ever, patriots today must do what they did. Endure like the mothers who instilled courage by the midnight lamp. Sacrifice like the farmers who sent grain to a besieged Boston. Build like the thousands who joined the Committees of Correspondence and united a continent. Act like the Sons of Liberty who moved in secret and inspired a generation. Stand like the ordinary Americans with everything to lose who refused to bend — and won.“It’s like time travel — sitting in a living room with the most brilliant minds of the era. They talk about the most fundamental things in life, and you are right there with them!” — ChristineAll of it — every sacrifice, every midnight meeting, every act of defiance — was building toward one debate. One world-altering act.The Declaration of Independence.It is the debate we are still having. And the centerpiece of the book. Loyalist Dickinson stands to warn of disaster. “Gentlemen! We are on a skiff made of paper trying to brave a storm!”But Patriot Samuel Adams is not afraid. He stands — and the room changes. Has the blood of our brothers and sons been expended in vain? he demands. Who among you, as a father, would make your child a slave because you had nourished him in his infancy? And he asks the question every American must answer: “Will there be left on this earth one free country — one asylum for civil and religious liberty — to which the oppressed of every nation may fly?”Two hundred and fifty years later, their threatened generation speaks to ours. They ask us the same questions they asked themselves.Will our children be free?Will we crouch afraid?Or will we stand?This book is their answer. A speech across two and a half centuries — from the patriots who saved their nation to the patriots who must save ours. It is not a history book. It is an instruction manual.“I haven’t done so much highlighting since grad school. This is not a one-time read — it is a reference book, the map forward out of the moral morass we face. Should be shared with every pastor, elected official, and school administrator.” — Ken D.“Mr. Rabb has brought to life the voice of our Founding Fathers. May we be inspired to tell this story and apply these principles at a desperate and fragmented time in our history!” — Chuck H. Read more
