Book Review: “Defending the Declaration” by Gary Amos

Could the Declaration of Independence have been written without the influence of the Bible and Christianity?

Politics

Platforms matter

It doesn't matter what sound bites, tweets or rhetoric is used by politicians. What matters is a published party platform.

You may be surprised to learn who saved me.
