For You They Signed

America's first Continental Congress opened on September 5, 1774 with a Christian worship service. After reading from Psalm 35, the men knelt and prayed fervently for God's forgiveness and blessing on the nation. You may recognize some of the names - Washington, Henry, Randolph, Rutledge, Lee, and Jay. Or maybe you don't recognize the names.

Here Kevin Swanson interviews Marilyn Boyer, author of a new study guide that presents the character and lives of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Mostly forgotten today, these men formed the foundation of a nation that would enjoy the blessing of God for many generations. If another experiment of this sort should ever happen in the history of the world, our children and grandchildren should know these stories.
