John Glover and his Marblehead Mariners, with seemingly impossible stealth, evacuated Washington’s entire army, all 9,000 men, across the East River onto Manhattan Island in nine hours during a single night!   How that happened became known as the Miracle of the Fog, for just as the British were preparing to attack, the river and shoreline were blanketed in a thick fog that “came out of nowhere” s...

John Glover and his Marblehead Mariners, with seemingly impossible stealth, evacuated Washington’s entire army, all 9,000 men, across the East River onto Manhattan Island in nine miraculous hours during a SINGLE night!   But it would never have happened without one often ignored event which I see as nothing short of divine intervention. For just as the British were preparing to attack, the river a...

Most Americans do not know that Abraham Lincoln, when elected president, went from “apostate to prophet” all in those critical four years of the Civil War.   And helping along his miraculous conversion was a humble, yet highly capable, Army nurse by the name of Rebecca Pomroy.   What she was able to accomplish with the Lincoln Family in the White House that dreadful winter of 1862 changed the cour...

We have reached a milestone in America’s beloved past. The 249th and 250th year anniversary of this grand experiment in republicanism, in self-government, but mostly in individual freedom.   But, ironically, as of late, we are facing the gravest challenge we have ever faced. And the danger, tragically, is coming from within.   Now is the time to look beyond the propaganda and embrace the true hist...

The massive British Army under the command of General John Burgoyne, was rushing to attack and destroy Washington’s Continental Army.   The Americans needed time to prepare.   And young Thaddeus with his unique skills would give the Americans that time.   Moving fast with his engineers and rangers, Thaddeus and his team cut trees in the path of the British, laid out traps and ambushes, built dams...

On a sweltering July day in 1863, the quiet town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania exploded!   This tiny hamlet became the center of the decisive battle for the world’s most pivotal nation locked passionately in its final death throes.   The clash between North and South would decide the fate not only of our nation, but by extension, the world.   It would be a horribly bloody three-days producing more t...

“I will get my hands on that American woman and destroy her!”   This was the threat of Klaus Barbie, the local Gestapo chief, known as the “Butcher of Lyon.”   The powers of hell seemed to be gathering all around young Virginia Hall. She was simply out of time.   More so, thousands of young American Rangers would be soon landing on the beaches of Normandy. She and her resistance fighters must help...

They loved each other for 54 years.   Even as Abigail lay on her deathbed, John sat by her holding her hand.   They had been through everything together—declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth, the American Revolution, creating a great republic from a divided people, opposing slavery, representing the United States abroad, and then the American presidency.   Abigail and John...

She made 19 highly risky trips back into the South to save hundreds...   During the Civil War she also scouted for the Union Army.   HARRIET TUBMAN is a well-known American hero who risked her life to help escaping slaves.    What is not known about her was what drove her fervently, a passion that is today often suppressed by historians, increasingly removing her powerful testimony of Jesus, and o...

The young woman, Ella, watched as her father and brothers were beheaded before her eyes.   She, along with her younger sister, were tied together with the captive women and children, now the slaves and concubines of the Arab invaders. Ella feared she would never see her mother and her beloved homeland again.   For the first time in history, a great Muslim Army under the command of General Abd-al-R...

I was four years old.   Fascinated, I stood on the banks of a storm-swollen, raging river. The next thing I remember I was tumbling beneath the rapids, being washed into the depths.   But as I turned over under the frigid torrent I could see up through the water the face of a Bonafide angel. His arms were reaching for me, stretching until he snagged my coat. He then pulled me up from the cold and...

This is a story few Americans have ever heard.   We consider this a travesty, for it is America’s history, a story of adventure, tragedy, unbelievable professional skill, and undying dedication to a cause.   The story of how America’s crack engineers and divers not only rescued many of the American sailors trapped within the navy ships sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but also how...

Searching for a true, historical role model for your kids?   What about one who was both a true (albeit young) LEADER but also merciful?   Look no further than Lt. Lyle Bouck, one of the YOUNGEST leaders during WWII...   Waking before dawn, in the snow and bone-chilling temperatures of 16 December 1944, 20-year-old Lt. Lyle Bouck could hear the distinctive rumble of German armor—Tiger Tanks!—rolli...

Nancy was a tall, lanky, powerful woman, standing nearly 6 feet and perfectly bred for backwoods life. She had long, thick hair and a fearless, determined spirit. Friends said she was an excellent shot with a rifle and could handle a man’s full day of heavy labor with nary a complaint. She was also a skilled herbalist and backwoods doctor and a devout Christian. She always helped her neighbors and...

Pauline saw her nation being destroyed from within, torn apart by Southern Rebels. And though at first, she refused to get involved.   But when the call came to stand and fight, she did, in the only way she knew how, as a special spy for Abraham Lincoln, no less, a mission she executed with great skill, helping to save her beloved United States.   In the end, however, she died sick and all alone f...

We often learn more from our heroes’ failures than their successes…   The old man, head bent forward in hopelessness, rode silently in the public carriage. He flexed his right fist, looking at the hand that God had given him to raise to the square, as God had called him to Christ’s Ministry years before when he was a rebellious young man.   Inside and seated across from him was a beautiful young w...

James knew. This time it was up to him.   Piloting his supercharged P-51 Mustang fighter, reaching speeds up to 440 mph, his eyes narrowed on the mass of incoming German Luftwaffe warplanes—more than 30 strong!—all with orders to shoot down the slow, lumbering, American B-17s, those that James must protect—at all cost.   These B-17 crews of young American airmen, grit their teeth, seeing the swarm...

Christianity was about to be conquered and extinguished by a massive enemy army.   September 11th in 1683, the City of Vienna—the Gateway to Western Europe—was about to be overrun and wiped out. The survival of Christian Europe in the balance.   Then, appearing on the mountain above Vienna, the Winged Hussar Christian Knights, under the command of King John Sobieski. 18,000 Christian Knights rode...

CAN YOU GUESS THIS HERO? YOU KNOW HIM…   He was the young nose gunner in a B-29 Superfortress. This was his 25th and last mission. But it would be his toughest.   Their target was the Hodogaya Chemical Plant located in the heart of Tokyo City. A vital target that while operating provided the Japanese military with the critical chemicals needed to continue the war. As his bomber approached the targ...

Over the past half-millennium, the name of Christopher Columbus has run the gambit from hero to genocidal monster.   By his own admission, Columbus “was not an educated man.” Yet he spoke at least four languages and could write skillfully in two. He was a devout Christian who never uttered a profanity, yet spent his life around sailors, some of the most profane men on earth.   Today our children a...

The American nation was dying. Everyone could see it.   The South’s leaders, both military and political, were determined to tear apart the United States, breaking up the American continent into several opposing “statelets,” some slave, some free, but all hating each other in perpetuity.   To stop and defeat this Satanic process was, in my mind, why President Abraham Lincoln was born and why he is...

We are all at a different place on life’s road. President Abraham Lincoln was not only at a different place, but on an entirely different road!   But the Lord had not forgotten Lincoln, and by extension, us and our great nation during its most trying times. And though Lincoln’s path was as trying as any, Lincoln came to understand that he must, in our behalf, persevere.   God had a mission for him...

The Japanese were breaking every code. American Marines were dying by the thousands. Something had to be done.   Then in 1942, 29 young Navajo men from Arizona, including Carl Gorman, stepped forward and volunteered to fight the Japanese. Their contributions ended up saving the lives of thousands of Marines and shortening the war by at least a year.   They were known as the famous Navajo Code Talk...

Is there anyone who will stand up to the most powerful on behalf of the most vulnerable?   One woman did...   On February 3, 1994, MOTHER TERESA was asked to speak to the gathering of the National Prayer Breakfast, hosted by the Washington, D.C. establishment at the lavish Hilton Hotel in their Grand Ballroom.   And there amid America’s most powerful politicians, CEOs, religious leaders, and celeb...

How does one be a Christian soldier? Morally against killing but also wanting to protect the lives of those you love.   There are many examples of people who have showed courage during such difficult times of war and in different ways, and today's episode is discussing one such hero...   ALVIN YORK, perhaps the greatest American hero of World War I, was born into poverty but didn’t realize it unti...
