Preface
From “5,000 Year Leap” Study Guide:
“You are about to embark on a great adventure in reading “The 5000 Year Leap”. This book will truly change the way you view American, and will bring to light just how special the country is and how important it is to maintain freedom and liberty. Our Founders provided us with a blueprint on how to prevent the advancement of tyranny: that blueprint is contained in with the pages of this book.”
Here are some of the Principles of Freedom inspired by the Founding Fathers that you will learn about by reading “The 5,000 Year Leap”:
“We strongly recommend that you read the forward, preface and introduction of this book. These sections are brief, but they really help set the foundation for the rest of the book. Here is some of what you will find in these sections:
- You will learn why the author felt so compelled by the story of our Founders that he started his own small book club in an old garage in Utah, and how that small book club led to the writing of this great book.
- You will hear from Senator Orin Hatch, “The Founders were not custom-building the Constitution for any particular age or economy. They were structuring a framework of government to fit the requirements of human nature. These do not change. What protected the freedom of George Washington will protect freedom for you and me. “
- You will listen to the author describe America’s unprecedented rise as the great hope of the world, and our possible decline – unless we pay attention to the words of the great men that put forward our form of government.
- You will hear why Jamestown was so different, and how those settlers tried communal economics, and how they eventually adopted a free enterprise system.
- You will begin to understand how The Founding Founders were able to take many great ideas from some of the greatest thinkers in history and compile them in to one document- The Constitution!”
