David Bercot. Here is the compelling narrative of the founding of America, told from a perspective that few people have ever heard. That perspective is the kingdom of God. America's currency declares, "In God We Trust." But did the American colonists truly trust in God in the founding of the United States?

The product of nine years of research, this new work challenges much of what most of us learned in school about the founding of America and the American Revolution. Bercot's well-documented findings will surprise many people. At the same time, this timely work will strengthen the convictions of nonresistant, kingdom Christians.
320 pp. Paper.

Heartbeat of the Remnant magazine says this about this book: "The battle is not merely the correct historical facts.

From The Mennonite Weekly Review: "Author and attorney David Bercot is the thorough type. When he grew curious about theology, he set out to read all the works of Christians who lived in the first centuries after Christ’s death. He wound up writing Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up.

Bercot applied his brand of rigor both to his speaking engagements and his children’s homeschooling. It was only a matter of time before the two connected. When the U.S. history textbooks he used came to the colonial era and the American Revolution, Bercot was troubled. He felt they glorified war and promoted the idea that it was God’s purpose for Europeans to kill America’s native people and take their land, refuse to pay taxes and use violence to gain independence." ...

I teach high school Government, Economics, and US History. I can heartily recommend this book for all three subjects! Bercot masterfully teaches what our founding fathers truly believed. I have a number of my students who have read the book and they have been profoundly affected.
