Teaching America’s Principles of Liberty to the Generations~
About Pathway to Liberty
What enables individuals to thrive? What makes a nation prosper? How has a nation’s adherence to the principles of liberty contributed to it successes and failures?
Since early colonial America, the United States was founded upon the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – and trust in God.
Liberty was uniquely enacted throughout the United States with the principles of self – government and religious freedom being at the helm of this exceptional nation’s beginnings. The right to choose how one is governed and whom and how to worship secured its citizen’s right to think for themselves in all areas of life. Liberty was finally with in each person’s grasp.
With an overview of the pathway liberty has taken, from creation to modern times, The Chain of Liberty offers a principled approach that will captivate students of any age.
The author deals with the principles of liberty from the time the human race began until the current age. This easy to read book gives a broad overview of the westward movement of liberty as people and nations are transformed. MacCullough stresses that liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. This overview of the pathway to liberty is excellent and relevant for the individual who desires to understand the history of liberty and take care in preserving and advancing liberty in their lives, communities and nations.
The concise and easy flowing manner in which the book is written makes it a good read for all ages.
I purchased this book for my teen-aged grandchildren, who found it very interesting and helpful; and then, I read it myself. I am so impressed by this author’s contribution to the education of students of any age. She gives an overview and a chronological timeline which helps with context and “the big picture.” Her message is inspiring and logically presented. To preserve our liberty, our citizens must have accurate knowledge of our country’s history. As Maccullough says, “There must be a meaning to all of this history…Out of conviction, endurance, and sacrifice has come all that we hold most dear.” I wholeheartedly recommend this book — from grade school to grandparents and anyone who is passionate about preserving our liberty!
Coming from a mans perspective, this topic brings to life what I already knew to be true. The subject matter that the author addresses is so inherent to who I am that it literally jumps out of the page. I believe most men (young and old) that read this book will walk away changed, as did I….
Excellent work by truly a gifted master teacher! A worthy history book that is enjoyable to read! I highly recommend The Chain of Liberty and the study Guide for not only home education but for any individual seeking answers to why some individuals and nations thrive while others do not.
