Declaration of the American Mind

Thomas Jefferson, pondering American independence nearly fifty years later, wrote that the Declaration of Independence was "an expression of the American mind." Leveraging that symbolism and capturing the founders' belief in the Enlightenment philosophy of the Law of Nature and Nature's God that underpins the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights, Declaration of the American Mind reveals the vision and culture for America that these founding documents proclaim, frame and clarify.

With the consideration for divine providence of Michael Medved's The American Miracle and the imperative for introspection of Os Guiness' A Free People's Suicide, and without submission to the morass of popular politics and partisanship, Declaration of the American Mind stitches together the story of America's purpose as a beacon of liberty and equality united in "We the people." This narrative non-fiction work leverages facts and quotations from contemporaneous sources, providing the politically disaffected and the freedom seeker with evidence that the founding philosophy was not a transitory rationale to create government, but the enduring foundational culture for America, able to withstand the whims of popular culture to fulfill the American vision for a free people.
