Constitution Week is celebrated annually during the week of September 17-23 to commemorate that document’s history and importance, and to bring attention to how it serves still today. In 1955, the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In celebration of U.S. Constitution Week, I want to offer you a Combo Package of two powerful resources from our AFA Resource Center – God in the Constitution DVD with David Barton and a Pocket Constitution.
God in the Constitution DVD with David Barton
My friend, David Barton, is the founder and president of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization. David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with the subjects being drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original writings from the Founding Era. He serves as a consultant to state and federal legislators and has helped produce history textbooks now used in schools across the nation.
Did you know that 34% of the U.S. Constitution contains biblical citations? In this 42-minute DVD, David teaches viewers the religious roots of this unique and impactful piece of American history. Using examples from the Constitution as well as quotes from the founding fathers, he makes a powerful case proving that God is in the Constitution.
In this DVD, you’ll learn about:
1. The uniqueness of the U.S. Constitution.
2. Why it matters that the U.S. Constitution is a godly document.
3. How to preserve the U.S. Constitution.
One reviewer had this to say about the DVD:
“The first 7 minutes give facts about the U. S. Constitution that virtually no one knows nor appreciates – that was jaw-dropping to me. This, especially when compared to the constitutions of all the other countries of the world. … I have purchased many and typed up a cover page to give to friends and politicians. BTW – 34% of our Constitution contains Bible citations – Barton explains why that matters.”
Pocket Constitution
This pocket-sized Constitution includes the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Amendments. The booklet includes a special foreword, “Christianity and the Constitution,” by my friend, Stephen McDowell, who is co-founder and president of the Providence Foundation, a nonprofit Christian educational organization which mission seeks to spread liberty, justice, and prosperity among the nations by educating individuals in a biblical worldview.
I hope you will order the Combo Package, God in the Constitution DVD and Pocket Constitution, for $7.50 which includes free shipping.
Constitution Week is an important part of our cultural heritage as Americans because it recognizes the value of the American experiment, and the success of a nation of free people whose rights and liberties are protected by a written constitution.
