9781641237680 A story that must not be erased from America’s history or from the public squares of nations worldwide…

“In all the history of the world, as nations have arisen and fallen amid endless war and bloodshed, the founding of America was utterly unique,” writes Derek Prince. “Reaching the shores of an unknown wilderness, a small group of people planted seeds—not of military might, or wealth, or power, but seeds of faith and freedom. And those seeds took hold and grew.”

Such seeds affect the destinies of nations.

A nation participates in shaping its own destiny through the process of sowing and reaping: what nations sow, they will reap. If they seek to align themselves with God’s purposes, they will experience His favor and blessing. But if they seek to align themselves with purposes that are in opposition to God’s, they will not prosper.

Who were the Pilgrims? Why did they come to America? What difference did they make in the history of our country—and what does their legacy tell us about our country’s destiny?

The seeds sown by our Pilgrim ancestors 400 years ago continue to influence our culture and government. The basic principles by which they lived—beliefs in personal liberty, freedom of religion, and living in covenant with others—laid a strong foundation for America’s religious and political freedom. Without question, what the Pilgrims sowed, America has reaped as an abundant harvest.

Yet how long will the blessing of the Pilgrims’ influence continue? The light of this nation is still shining. But something is going wrong. Like a heavy, unanticipated fog, a spiritual darkness is gradually moving in to dim that light.

In The Pilgrim Legacy, internationally recognized Bible teacher and scholar Derek Prince discloses the biblical principles and tools at work in the lives of this small group of Christians who were, in a sense, the spiritual ancestors of the United States. It was these principles that not only helped to establish the nation but enabled America to be a stepping-stone in spreading the light of the gospel of the kingdom around the world.

By discovering and implementing the principles by which the Pilgrims lived, we can continue The Pilgrim Legacy today and preserve the spiritual destiny of our nation.

MY REVIEW

I don’t think much has been written about the Pilgrims quite like this book has. It reminds us where a group of people came together in unity and planted seeds of hope. They used that foundation to build a nation that worked together and helped each other out. Today I question if we are still rooted in those principles.

I liked how the author illustrates sowing and reaping in regard to nations. If our nation sows seed of peace we will reap those rewards. We need to be sowing things that aligns us with God’s will. I can see that we have slipped away from God’s will in the many issues going on in America right now.

The book takes us back in history and explores what the Pilgrims started. They wanted everyone to be in one accord. They lived in covenant with each other and God. They had Godly principles that they followed and were an example to many. I liked how the author uses scriptures in the book and highlights how dedicated the Pilgrims were to living in harmony with each other. It was interesting to read how they fasted and prayed together.

This is a good book for everyone to read and learn how a group of people followed God, stayed in covenant with Him and shared His Word and teaching with others by their actions.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
