Unto a Good Land offers a distinctive narrative history of the
American people -- from the first contacts between Europeans and
North America's native inhabitants, through the creation of a
modern nation, to the standing of the United States as a world
power. Written by a team of distinguished historians led by David
Edwin Harrell, Jr. and Edwin S. Gaustad, this textbook shows how
grasping the uniqueness of the bAmerican experimentb depends on
understanding the role of religion as well as social, cultural,
political, and economic factors in shaping U.S. history.A common
shortcoming of most United States history textbooks is that while,
in recent decades, they have expanded their coverage of social and
cultural history, they still tend to shortchange the role of
religious ideas, practices, and movements in the American past.
Unto a Good Land addresses this shortcoming in a balanced way. The
authors recognize that religion is only one of many factors that
have influenced our past -- one, however, that has often been
neglected in textbook accounts. This volume gives religion its
appropriate place in the story.Unprecedented coverage of the forces
that have shaped the history of the United States

About the book Expect to hear the voice of God. Morning by morning, day by day, God beckons me to hear and heed Him, "that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth my ear to hear as the learned" (Isaiah 50: 4). The poems in this book are the result of going to the Bible each day with an expectation that God has something very important to say to me. That expectation has NEVER been disappointed. Our risen Lord said, "I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3: 20). This intimate, two-way communion with God is not offered to the individual who has no interest in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, for the Bible plainly states that "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2: 14). In contrast, those who have received the Lord Jesus (John 1: 12), thereby "have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God" (1 Corinthians 2: 12). My prayer is that God may use this book for His glory, for the encouragement of His own children, and for the persuasion of those who may be yet awakened to their need of our Savior. "Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the post of My doors" (Proverbs 8: 34). Morning by morning. Day by day. Don't miss it for the world.

Reviews in American History "Harrell has obviously attended countless rallies, read sheafs of literature, and personally interviewed many of the principals. He... tell s] the story in a largely biographical format. This makes for lively reading." Harvey G. Cox, New York Times Book Review ..". will attract readers interested in the reasons behind the various fat and lean periods among revivalists." Publishers Weekly "All Things Are Possible is the first book to tell the story of the enterprisers who have personal followings. The narrative is full of surprises: of seriousness and scandal strangely blended. Professor Harrell has done a staggering amount of research in hard to discover sources; his scholarship is impressive and he is eminently fair-minded. Here is a missing link in the chain of American religious movements." Martin E. Marty, The University of Chicago Divinity School "Harrell s book will doubtless be the definitive work on the subject for a long while who else will wade through Healing Waters and Miracle Magazine with such fastidious care?" The Kirkus Reviews This is the first objective history of the great revivals that swept the country after World War II. It tells the story of the victories and defeats of such giants of the revival as William Branham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, T. L. Osborn, A. A. Allen. It also tells of the powerful present day evangelists who are carrying on the revival, including Robert Schambach and Morris Cerullo. The book includes pictures of Schambach, Allen, Cerullo, Branham, Roberts, Osborn, Coe and many others. Those who lived through the great revival of the 1950 s and 1960 s will be thrilled to read about those exciting days. Those who do not remember those days need to read this book to see what has led us up to this present moment in time. David Edwin Harrell, Jr. is a professor of history at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. He has tried to write this book in an objective way, although you may not agree with all that he says. Dr. Harrell has visited Schambach revivals."
