This is the History they don't want you to read.
Charles C. Coffin writes in his introduction to The Story of Liberty:
"Men act freely in laying and executing their plans, but behind the turmoil and conflict of human wills there is an Unseen Power that shapes destiny. Nations rise and fall, generations come and go; yet through the ages there has been an advancement of Justice, Truth, Right and Liberty. To what end? Is it not the march of the human race toward an Eden of rest and peace?"
This is an engrossing history of the people and key events that led to American self rule, and America's great freedoms and is the heritage of anyone enjoying freedom in any nation in the world:
- Freedom of religion, speech, thought, press and economic prosperity.
- Begins with the signing of the Magna Carta,
- Ends with Fifty Pilgrims starting a New World for Freedom to Worship God
- Unfiltered look at the cost of Liberty

SusanRushing- Former homeschooler and Current teacher at Cornerstone Academy writes:
"If you were to read only one book in order to understand the basis of our form of government, The Story of Liberty would be it. It tells the story of the Reformation in Europe which made possible the principles of freedom and self-government upon which our nation was established.
"But it is no dry history text. It reads like a novel, bringing to life the amazing events and fascinating people who fought and sacrificed for the liberty we now enjoy. I have read it for pure pleasure myself and also used it in teaching American history to my own children at home and in the classroom. It instills a love for history and an appreciation for what we have as Americans."
From Nancy Drazga, Great Christian Books Editor...
"First published in 1879, The Story of Liberty has been reprinted for today's families who have lost the knowledge of the Christian foundations of the American struggle for freedom . . .The many black and white illustrations and commentary on the tale provided by the author make this book indispensable for readers of all ages.
"Even young children will enjoy having bits of the narrative read to them, and adults as well as children will find through reading this book that the drama of history really is better than any novel! Highly recommended."
