From the best-selling author of The Covenant: One Nation Under God. Foreword by Gerald Molen, Academy Award-winning producer of Schindler's List.Was the Civil War a Holy War? For 150 years, multiple and widely varied explanations for the meaning of this great American conflict have been published. The confusion over the war's meaning is largely due to the loss of one historical factor--that America was and is a promised land placed under covenant by the Almighty. Best-selling author Timothy Ballard argues that this lost knowledge is the key to not only unlocking the mysteries of the Civil War, but to restoring and healing America today. Timothy Ballard has written several books on America and its religious roots, including The Covenant: One Nation Under God, which soared to number 3 on the Amazon best-seller list. He has worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and as a U.S. Special Agent, where he spends significant time as an overseas operative to dismantle crime rings involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of children. For the last decade, Tim has taught American and International Politics at San Diego State University and at Imperial Valley College.

The authors of this work maintain that any intellectual attempt to determine a physical geography for the Book of Mormon must be founded first within the text of the Book itself and secondly upon inspired statements of its translator, the Prophet Joseph Smith. The purpose of this study is to provide insight and information based primarily upon those two criteria. 
In doing so, the authors acknowledge that when using those two pillars as the basis, the resulting evidence seems to point time and again to a more traditional geographical setting for the Book of Mormon within the boundaries of a particular nation state, even The United States of America.

This is the LDS Edition of THE COVENANT which was featured on Glenn Beck radio and TV and which soared to #3 on Amazon. It is part 1 of a two part series called the American Covenant Series Volume I &amp; Volume II. Vol 1 covers the sacred history of the discovery of the new world through the Revolutionary War. Vol II picks up from there and walks the reader through the miraculous period of the Constitutional Convention through he Civil War and the Conversion of Lincoln to The American Covenant. Ballard's ten years of research on this masterpiece will forever change the way you view this nation.
DescriptionHave you ever wondered why your heart is so touched when you hear the playing of our national anthem? Or when you read the inspiring words of our founding fathers? Are those feelings not remarkably similar to the feelings you have when singing a sacred hymn or hearing a profound sermon? Are we just overly sentimental and emotional creatures or is there something more going on? Consider the feelings that permeate your soul whether you are reading the inspired words of Captain Moroni...or General George Washington? Yes, you know this is a "choice land" given by God, but have you ever considered that perhaps there is a deeper connection--even deeper than you ever imagined--between Heaven and America?
This book promises to open your eyes to this deeper connection. Ancient prophets-from Jacob (Israel), Jeremiah and Isaiah-foresaw the United States and knew of its divine ordination. Besides the advent of the Messiah, almost all ancient prophets also saw America in the last days! More astonishing, perhaps, is the idea that the fathers of the nation-from the Pilgrims to the revolutionaries, to the patriots of the Civil War-knew they had been seen!
Why did John Adams seek a Restoration, why did Jefferson directly prophecy that such would occur shortly after his death and that it would rest upon the foundation of the Constitution?

“The concept of what a covenant truly is and means is unfamiliar to most today, for it far surpasses any legal understandings or obligations with which our current culture is acquainted. God established a covenant with Abraham and his posterity, and the Bible recounts not only the duties but also the remarkable benefits produced by that mutual accord. Tim Ballard documents the 'extension' of that covenant re-invoked during the establishment of this nation… a covenant made between God and America's early colonists and Founders. 'The Covenant' not only shows the unprecedented blessings America has received as a result of obedience to God but also what every citizen today can do to honor our national covenant with God and thus ensure His continued blessings.” David Barton, Distinguished Scholar of American History and bestselling author.Why did Christopher Columbus insist that an "angel" guided him at the moments of greatest distress? What prompted the original colonists to embrace the idea that the land of America was "New Israel" to them? What power urged Washington and his rag-tag army to successfully conquer the greatest military power on earth? What brought about the terrible national crisis that left our nation grieving, humbled and repentant after the desolation of Civil War? What is the secret behind this nation's unsurpassed record of prosperity, protection and liberty? And what are the responsibilities and consequences incumbent upon a people so blessed? The answers to these, and many other questions relating to America's real national treasure are found in the pages of THE COVENANT. In his new book, author Timothy Ballard answers both HOW and WHY America’s very existence stands in fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecy. Ballard's research takes his reader on a journey through American history that has rarely, if ever, been traveled before. THE COVENANT: America's Sacred and Immutable Connection to Ancient Israel sheds new light on the bloodline-inheritance the founders carried to America. To be certain, this book is not about America's ties to the modern Jewish State called “Israel” which was formed by U.N. edict in 1948, but rather, the text hearkens back to a period around 720 B.C. when the Northern Kingdom of ancient Israel (the Ten Tribes) was destroyed and carried away by the Assyrians to the "North” where they became lost as to their own identity scattered among the lands and peoples of Western Europe, Great Britain and Scandinavia. These people inherit through birth and bloodline, the right to invoke "the Promises made to the Fathers." The very covenant that was established by the Pilgrims 400 years ago in 1620. That becomes the key to our success as a nation. God help us to not forget--in all our hubris and wealth--the true source of those blessings and protection we have enjoyed for so many years.
