The Founders' Message for Students in Crisis

The Student Edition of this work offers the reader sixty new pages, including a new foreword from the author, over 600 notes and sources, an enhanced index, and a new bibliography. With more than 2,000 five-star reviews, readers are raving over this powerful speech to America crafted from the words of the Founding Fathers. The passion of the reviewers jumps off the page, capturing the heart-felt response to this one-of-a-kind tapestry of the Founders' words.

Described as the American narrative, this compelling work is not only the #1 National Bestseller on America's Founding, but it is also the much-needed rebuttal to all who would tear down the Founding Fathers of our nation. The continued relevance of the Founders' words, as revealed in this unique and meticulously crafted work, is a clarion call to defend our natural rights that will both stun readers and leave them celebrating America.

Author Steven Rabb gives depth to the current conversation and ongoing debate about America's founding ideals, beginning the book with a modern-day telling of the Founding Fathers at Independence Hall, reunited once again to debate the speech they must write to save America today. Their resulting work is the rest of the book, The Founders' Speech to a Nation in Crisis, a fast-paced read that moves from one themed chapter to the next, taking on current topics that range from the God-given Natural Rights of Man, Religious Liberty, the Rule of Law, Freedom of Speech, the Right to Property, and the Continuing Threat of Tyranny.

In The Founders' Speech, Mr. Rabb has created a masterfully presented work and a single source of "best of" quotes that will be cherished and shared for generations to come. This book should be essential reading for every middle school to high school aged student, and every adult too, as it imagines if America's Founders could come back to speak to us today, and in their own words, regarding Liberty, the Rights of Conscience, the Constitution, and what it means for every citizen to have true and meaningful Reverence of the Law and a sense of Responsibility to our Posterity.

The unity of this book is powerful, but the most impressive aspect is the fact that the figures who arose from the enlightenment saw precisely the kinds of challenges which we face today. This book is like time travel, sitting in a living room with the most brilliant minds of the era, discussing the most fundamental things in life. It is a very moving experience, and every family should have this book and discuss its contents as part of a regular curriculum of education and of broadening one's understanding of why we are a country of laws.
