Forged in the Fires

How Providence, Purpose, and Perseverance Shaped America

By: E Paul Yarbro

Narrated by: George Utley

American history is more than dates or events to be memorized. It is voices from the past calling to our own time, asking us to listen.

American history is the experience of a nation through the actions of its people. A nation is much like an individual with its failures, tragedies, and triumphs adding to its experience. Both make mistakes and can learn from them. Both individuals and nations are shaped by their past and often determine their future in how they perceive it.

Americans share a unique history. It is the story of a people who believed in Christian providence (God’s intervening hand in the lives of people and events), the certainty of a greater purpose in a divine plan, and the gritty self-reliance and perseverance to overcome anything. Their stories are the real history of America, not the events themselves.

They were “forged in the fires of adversity” and relied on Christian faith to rise above the flames. With the impurities burned away, their character became the sword they carried into history.

They are calling from the past. It is up to us to listen. This is their story....
