From the Publisher
For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times.
In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.

This book changed my whole outlook on religion and God. This is my absolute favorite book.
I am a high school U.S. History teacher in a public school. I have been fully aware of how the textbooks have been hijacked by left leaning textbook writers. I have always used the Reagan test to see if there was any bias in any new textbooks. I am also concerned how the curriculum does not emphasis the Founding Fathers and the incredible miracle that occurred in 1787. When I first read “The Five Thousand Year Leap” I was excited and motivated. The Founders got it right and we have been slowly pulling away from this miracle. Every American, every high school student, college student, and especially every elected official should read this book. The answer to our challenges is in the 28 principles outlined in this book.
