The Founder's Bible - Heirloom Edition (New American Standard Bible)
S**N
An Invaluable Bible filled with the "true" history of the founding fathers and why America was "exceptional".
This bible has the complete Scriptures in addition to historical articles from David Barton's original documents of the founding fathers of this great nation. This is proof that America was founded on the Christian ethos, dismantling the secular view that "America never was a Christian nation". David discovered over 100,000 original founding fathers' documents in the basement of a courthouse where they had been locked up for over 100 years! In this bible, the articles related to America's founding relay the "true" history that I never had learned in the public school system (1950's and 1960's). Sadly, we all have had this "true" history kept from us, not realizing how strongly our country had been founded on the Bible and Christian ethics. All of our presidents except in recent times had attributed America's greatness to her believing in and following the Bible and keeping to its Christian principals. If you really want to know America's "true" history of how she was founded and to realize WHY she was lauded, even by the French diplomat, as "exceptional"-----then, I encourage you to purchase this invaluable Bible which will reveal the history you (nor I) was never taught! The history begins with "why" the pilgrims were compelled to leave their motherland of Great Britain and the sacrifices they made, in finally arriving in "The New World" of America and how they relied on God to get here! Without Him and their faith in Him they could not have made it! The history is all within the pages of the articles. I can now only hope that you'll be curious enough to order this invaluable historical Bible for yourself, a family member or a friend! I have, and also am considering purchasing it once again for a family member.

Print Too Small
I really wanted to like this Bible but sadly the print was too small and there are no definite sections between the different books. The Bible cover was sticky upon receiving it, and it looked second hand so I landed up sending it back to the seller. Bought a lovely Bible with bigger print and easy to navigate in it's place.

Chalk full of info
I bought this on the recommendation of someone else and I am not disappointed. The bible is already a treasure trove of ancient history, but it is wonderful to get to know our own history on a deeper level. So much of American history has been skimmed over or left out by the public education system, history that is valuable for learning and understanding where we came from, who founded us and why, and where they foresaw us going. I just started digging in to mine, and I'm continually amazed at the amount of information they have packed in to the pages to align with the bible text.The only thing I wish the publishers provided would be indexing.This bible is big, having so much information jammed in it, and its hard to find which chapter of the bible you are in. I will be going to the christian store and getting tabs to facilitate me in my studies.Other than that small and fixable fault, I recommend this version as a wonderful companion to your favorite bible.(first time bible users would find this one too cumbersome and bulky, possibly)

A Great Bible for referencing at home or a special location but not to use as a Bible to carry too often.
The Founder's Bible is all that it says and more. I wanted it to carry around with me and use at church but it had a few too much information about the days of our beginnings as a Nation. This made it cumbersome when having to find Scriptures quickly. I purchased some very nice indexing label tabs that helped greatly. Then I had a situation that called for another need for the Bible that I chose to give it as a gift. It was accepted very well but I do not want to replace it for what I wanted to use it for. It needs to remain at home because of its weight and size which is where it would have eventually ended up if I had kept it. It is a very nice Bible but I needed a different one for other things.

This Bible is a wonderful treasure!
I absolutely love this Bible. Every day when I read it, the pages come alive not just with the Word of the Lord, but also with our American History and what God’s Word meant to our Founding Fathers. I have learned things about our history that I was never taught in school. I highly recommend.

How far we have fallen!
An unbelievable education about American history, our founding fathers, and how they created our nation based on biblical principles. I was amazed at how interrelated our country was with the bible from the very beginning with the Pilgrims and how God blessed us because of those ties. I was amazed that the first textbook in America was the Bible. Congress was used as a worship center every Sunday. Prayer was common in all walks of life. The stories, biographies, and ties to the Bible are incredible. It is sad to see how far we have fallen from those original principles. I've read this Bible several times and bought copies for my kids and my pastor. I highly recommend it!
