Founded on Faith

America's Christian Heritage and the Faith We Must Pass On

Remembering the past is essential to preserving the future.
 

The story of America is a story of faith, conviction, and sacrifice. From the Pilgrims’ pursuit of religious liberty, to the spiritual awakening that shaped a people, to the founding of a nation grounded in the belief that rights come from God, the liberties we enjoy today were forged by men and women who believed in God, lived by truth, and acted with courage.

Yet today, much of that foundation is forgotten, misunderstood, or deliberately redefined.

In Founded on Faith, Paul Chappell traces the spiritual roots of America’s beginning and examines the biblical principles that shaped its identity. More than a look at the past, this book is a call to the present—a challenge to reclaim what has been neglected and to steward what has been entrusted to us.

What we remember—and what we do with it—will determine the future of our freedom.

Paul Chappell is the senior pastor of the Lancaster Baptist Church and president of West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, California. His biblical vision has led the church to become one of the most dynamic independent Baptist churches in the nation, and his Christ-centered leadership philosophy has become a model for hundreds of future leaders. He has been married to his wife, Terrie, since 1980 and is the father of four married children who are all serving in Christian ministry.
