Disc 1 (episodes 1-3)
Why History Matters
Unearthing America's Christian Foundations: Parts 1 & 2
| In
today’s classrooms and civil arenas you will find little evidence of the
Biblical principles upon which America was founded. In fact, many
modern-day historians claim that our nation’s Founders were a diverse
group of atheists, deists, and political revolutionaries. But what
principles did the Founding Fathers use as the basis for the most
successful nation in history? Did they really intend for us to live in a
secular society as revisionists claim? Or were they largely a group of
God-fearing leaders who believed that Biblical principles should form the
underpinning of our government and its Constitution? Discover the amazing
truth of our nation’s Godly foundation in the American Heritage Series.

Disc 2 (episodes
4-5)
The Faith of
Our Founding Fathers: Parts 1 & 2
| In today’s society, Americans are increasingly taught false views about
the religious and moral beliefs of our Founding Fathers. Were our Founding
Fathers rebellious political zealots as many historians now teach? Or were
they really men of integrity and strong religious character, as earlier
generations and textbooks taught? View original documents that show,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that America’s Founders drew their ideas for
this nation from their strong faith in God. As you watch, you will see
numerous accounts of God’s intervention clearly visible in the lives and
endeavors of our Founding Fathers. In the American Heritage Series,
discover the faith of our Founders that enabled them selflessly to give
their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. America: this is your heritage! |
Disc 3 (episodes 6-8)
The Ideas that Birthed a Nation
Our Biblical Constitution
Is America a "Christian Nation?"
| Modern history teaches us that
our Founding Fathers were atheists, agnostics, and deists yet a closer
look into history tells us a different story. America’s founders were
united by their deeply held spiritual beliefs, and those beliefs
directly impacted the formation of the new nation. Significantly, the
Bible was the source of many of the unique ideas and unprecedented
principles laid out in our founding documents, but today we are no
longer taught these truths about our founding; instead, we are taught
a revisionist history in which religious faith is absent and God’s
Providential hand is ignored. Learn the true story of America’s
birthright and of our Founding Fathers in the American Heritage
Series. America: this is your heritage! |
Disc 4 (episodes 9-10)
Church, State & the Real 1st Amendment: Parts 1 &
2
| In
present-day politics and government, the term "separation of church
and state" is regularly used to prohibit expressions of religious
faith in the public arena. However, for a century-and-a-half after the
Constitution was written, that phrase meant exactly the opposite -- it
was used to preserve religious expressions in the public
square. What was the origin of this now infamous phrase? When and how
did its meaning change? Learn the history of this phrase and how its
original meaning has been replaced with a completely secular one never
intended by the author of the phrase. Discover not only the original
story of this phrase but even see the Founding Fathers’ own words and
actions concerning it in the American Heritage Series. America: this
is your heritage! |
Disc 5
(episodes 11-13)
Influence of the Bible in America
How Pastors Shaped Our Independence: Parts 1 & 2
| During the Revolutionary War,
churches and clergy played a pivotal role, providing leadership in the
political and military arenas and helping shape the intellectual ideas
that took root in our founding documents. The Bible helped shape our
nation’s government, educational system, and culture in general; and
while today’s critics have relegated religious leaders to serving only
within the four walls of the church, America’s early religious leaders
believed that they were to be involved in every aspect of life
-- including government. Is there still a role for churches and
pastors to play in today’s political arena? Discover the answer to
that question as well as how pastors and religious leaders set the
course for the nation in the American Heritage Series. America: this
is your heritage! |
Disc 6 (episodes 14-16)
When Religion Was Culture
Faith in Our Early Courts
Myths of the Judiciary
| Founding Father Alexander
Hamilton announced to the nation during the ratification of the
Constitution that, "[T]he judiciary, from the nature of its functions,
will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the
Constitution ... [and] the general liberty of the people can never be
endangered from that quarter." Yet today, our religious freedoms and
so many others of our once inalienable rights are now regularly
threatened by this "least dangerous" branch. This was not our Founding
Fathers’ intent -- a fact clearly revealed by an examination of early
Supreme Court Justices and the values that guided their decisions.

American Heritage Series. America: this is your heritage! |
Disc 7 (episodes 17-19)
Evidence of America’s Spiritual Heritage: Parts
1, 2, & 3
| If a picture is truly worth a
thousand words, what then do the pictures, monuments, and great art of
our nation’s Capitol tell us about American history and our nation’s
Founders? Many visitors to the Capitol would be shocked to discover
that the faith of our Founding Fathers has been chiseled in stone
throughout that great building. What is the meaning behind some of our
nation’s most baffling symbols, from the dollar bill’s "all-seeing
eye," to the towering national monuments of Washington, DC? What
happens to a society that forgets the truths and symbols of its own
past? And why has this irrefutable evidence of our great spiritual
heritage been covered up and forgotten? Discover little-known facts
about our nation’s Godly history in the American Heritage Series.
America: this is your heritage! |
Disc 8 (episodes 20-21)
Four Centuries of American Education: Parts 1 & 2
| For centuries, America’s
educational philosophy centered on teaching "religion, morality, and
knowledge" -- the three aspects set forward in 1789 in America’s first
federal law addressing education. In fact, America’s great Founding
Fathers and educational leaders spoke openly about the need for public
education to inculcate these three elements. However, over the past
half-century, a dramatic change has occurred, and a completely secular
philosophy now dominates the American classroom. In fact, most
Americans today are not only uninformed but often misinformed about
the spiritual heritage of our nation and its Founders. What can
history tell us about a nation who forgets its past? Is revisionism in
textbooks really a problem? Discover the remarkable history of
American education in the American Heritage Series. America: this is
your heritage! |
Disc 9 (episodes 23-24)
Great Black Patriots
From Bondage to the Halls of Congress
The Civil Rights Movement
| Unknown to most today, black
and white soldiers often fought side-by-side in the fierce battles of
the Revolutionary War that birthed our nation, and many black leaders
played pivotal roles in our government in the 1700s and throughout the
1800s. Why do our classrooms neglect so many of our nation’s great
black leaders -- military heroes such as Peter Salem, influential
pastors like Lemuel Haynes and Richard Allen, Revolutionary spy James
Armistead, or U. S. Congressman Joseph Hayne Rainey? Learn about these
remarkable leaders and their great spiritual faith, and discover
little known facts about the early civil rights movement. Uncover the
truth of our nation’s black heroes and patriots in the American
Heritage Series. America: this is your heritage! |
Disc 10 (episodes 25-26)
The Assault on Judeo-Christian Values
The Duty of a Free Citizen
| Over the past two centuries, a
dramatic change has occurred in America. The rich spiritual heritage
of our Founding Fathers and the religious beliefs and values they
incorporated through American government and institutions are now met
with increasing hostility. Are we really in what many describe as a
"Cultural War"? Does the mixing of politics and faith create a
dangerous environment within a nation, or does it actually preserve
the unique principles that made the United States the most successful
nation in history? In the American Heritage Series, discover the role
that Biblical values played in our founding, how far America has
drifted since that time, and what citizens today can do to return to
restore those values. America: this is your heritage! |
