The American Patriont's Almanac by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb

This is an impressive book.  It is beautifully bound and the pages are intentionally given a rustic feel.  Inside is a treasury of information.

The book itself is a collection of historical events that occurred on each day of the year.  Additionally, it contains information on the constitution, declaration of independence, flags of history, the Gettysburg address and other important historical documents.  The authors do not just present the information in an encyclopedia format.  They tell you the story behind the event or document.  They draw you in.  They make it something that you care about.

I am impressed by this book.  The authors begin by regaling America.  It's great points, the reason we are a great nation.  Surprisingly, it's not all smiles.  They candidly discuss the hardships of the current wars, the economic downturn and that we sa a country don;t always do things right.  However, we have a nation of Christian men and women that are a force to be reckoned with when we work together.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is a history buff, a patriot, or both.  It is an inspiring collection of stories about our country that will be sure to renew pride.
