Christian Life & Character of the Civil Institutions of the U.S
About the Title:
"I was debating an ACLU attorney at
Christmas on an NPR station. I pulled out a Xerox copy of The Christian Life and Character of the
Civil Institutions of the United States and said to her: 'Until
you answer this book, the ACLU can't make a case against America's
Christian founding.' She was shocked when she saw it. She asked where I
had gotten it. The only thing that gave her relief was the fact that the
book was not in print. But now it is.
Be afraid ACLU. Be very afraid. Morris packs The Christian Life and Character
with page after page of original source material making the case that
America was founded as a Christian nation. The evidence is unanswerable
and irrefutable. This 1000-page book will astound you and send enemies
of Christianity into shock. Keep in mind that it was published in 1864
and has been out of print for more than a century. It has been newly
typeset using a very readable font and added subheads. A new Foreword
written by my long-time friend Dr. Archie Jones describes the background
of the book and provides a brief biography of the author." —Gary DeMar
Click to order Benjamin Franklin Morris' book has been out of print for over 100 years. If you can find an original copy, it's only because you have looked in the deep recesses of university libraries where the volume is likely collecting dust on dimly lit library shelves. Organizations like the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State have done their best to ignore the content of the massive compilation of original source material found in this book. If Americans ever become aware of the facts assembled by the author in this historic encyclopedia of knowledge, arguments for a secular founding of America will turn to dust.
Reprinted
by American Vision for the first time in over 140 years in 2007, we

again in a beautiful high-quality smythe-sewn hardback version with an
updated cover and several formatting improvements. Don't miss out on the
fantastic wealth of information this 1000+ page book has in store -
your children and your grandchildren are not being taught the truth of
history in public school and this book will correct that travesty! Christian
Life and Character could very well be responsible for the
rediscovering of the truth of America's foundation in Christianity. This
book should be the cornerstone of any personal, professional, church or
school library for as Chaplain Sunderland (1819-1901) of the 37th
Congress stated: "It may become the
morning star of the mightiest day of national regeneration the world has
yet beheld!"

Who was Benjamin F. Morris?
Reverend Morris was a historian (1810-1867), son of the Honorable Thomas Morris who was a pioneer opponent of slavery and United States Senator from Ohio. A minister of the Congregational Church, Morris pastored churches in Indiana and Ohio, retiring from ministry when his health began failing. Moving to Washington D.C. with his family where one of his sons became the Assistant Librarian of the Congressional Library, Morris worked as a clerk in one of the Federal Government departments and actively helped the establishment of the Congregational Church in the city. During this time, Morris undertook the epic task of compiling the facts to produce his magnum opus, The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States. For over a decade, he worked tirelessly on this project, out of a concern of the loss of our Christian heritage in civil government and the threat of de-Christianization he saw in our nation's civil government, law and public life - in 1864! He wrote: "This volume is committed to the American people, in the firm assurance that the invaluable facts which it records will be grateful to every patriotic and pious heart. In it, as from the richest mines, has been brought out the pure gold of our history. Its treasures have been gathered and placed in this casket for the instruction and benefit of the present and future. We have a noble historic life; for our ancestors were the worthies of the world. We have a noble nation, full of the evidences of the moulding presence of Christian truth, and of the power and goodness of Divine wisdom in rearing up a Christian republic for all time. That this was the spirit and aim of the early founders of our institutions, the facts in this volume fully testify." - Benjamin Franklin Morris
"As the common manual of the people [The Christian Life and Character] should be in the hands of every individual in all our borders, and, if diligently perused and faithfully improved, who can tell but, under the blessing of God, it may become the morning star of the mightiest day of national regeneration the world has yet beheld." - Byron Sunderland (1819-1901), Chaplain to the Senate of the United States in the 37th Congress
