CAN  THESE  BONES  LIVE  

    God took the prophet Ezekiel out to a valley full of dead, dry bones and asked him: "Son of man, can these bones live?" The prophet did not want to say No and reveal his unbelieving mind. Nor did he want to say Yes and sound presumptuous!  So he answered, "O Lord God, You know!" [Ezekiel 37:3]  By the end of the day Ezekiel had his answer: It explained Israel's future!

     David Pett's CAN THESE BONES LIVE is a quick and exciting look into America's Christian Heritage.  It is a moving account of God's Providence that fashioned Early America and prepared us for Independence from Britain. Knowledge of Historic Truth is vital if we are to maintain the God-given Rights and Freedoms fought for in 1776.  This book takes us from those first formative days that led up to the Great Awakening, and the years that followed down to the present struggles of today.  What a Glorious beginning!  We started out so well! What has hindered us in the race?  Can these bones live again?

       Have you noticed in your study of American History that most ~ if not all ~ of the prominent people, be they black or white, are committed Christians? I just finished my first book, entitled, CAN THESE BONES LIVE, published by Xulon Press, that explains the source of America's greatness. I had not realized it before, but the United States was actually "born" in the Great Awakening of the 1740s. Before that, each of the Colonies was tied directly to Great Britain, but the Great Awakening cut that tie, and bound them to each other. As Whitefield travelled throughout all the American Colonies, the Spirit of God not only filled the churches as thousands were swept into the Kingdom, something else was happening of which Whitefield [I believe] was unaware: The Colonies were being united as One Nation Under God; the corrupt European culture was being sliced away by the Spirit of God and was replaced by a distinctive Christian Culture. The Declaration of Independence that took place 30 years later simply put on paper what the Spirit of God had already done in the hearts of the Colonists.

 

       Can these bones live again? May it be so! May it be so!

      If anyone should ask: Was America ever a Christian nation, give them a copy of CAN THESE BONES LIVE! It verifies in details how Jesus Christ was personally involved in the founding of this once Great Nation. This prompted the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville to say, even 90 years after the Great Awakening: 

       Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of America's genius and power.
