From Sea to Shining Sea

Just as they did in "The Light And The Glory" the authors summarize so many interesting events during this period in our nation. We can be proud to be citizens of the United States and pray God will continue to intervene in our affairs so His glory will continue to shine "from sea to shining sea".
