Healing America's Soul: Lessons from Jamestown. Promises from God

With over 380 footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography, Healing America's Soul is based on the most extensive and detailed biblical analysis of the Jamestown Colony since Peter Marshall's The Light and the Glory in 1973. This book is primarily written for Christians who want to partner with God’s desire to heal America. It is also a valuable reference for students of American Christian history. As England's first permanent colony, the Virginia Colony— based in Jamestown, Virginia,—birthed the United States of America. Not only did the Virginia Colony eventually encompass almost the entire landmass of the continental United States, but its political, cultural, religious, financial and spiritual makeup has also powerfully shaped America in ways that continue to this day. This book focuses mainly on the negative aspects of that colonial makeup so that they can be corrected. The primary purpose of Healing America's Soul is to help American Christians understand the power of past sins that have corrupted America and the power of repentance to restore America. According to the Bible, only deep, personal and corporate repentance can heal a nation. America can be healed— but only by the American Church. This book gives clear guidelines to begin that process. May God use this book to prepare the American Church for the Third Great Awakening that God longs to release upon our land and upon the world! Only a powerful move of God’s Spirit can deeply heal America and the nations of the world. It begins with repentance in word and deed.
