Last night I expressed some gratitude for what Senator Orrin Hatch did in requesting that Supreme Court nominee, Sandra Day O’Conner learn a little more about the U.S. Constitution. I hope you enjoyed that episode of history.

I intended to tell you a little about what Senator Hatch wrote about my book, “Founding Fathers—Uncommon Heroes.” He was asked by me to write a “Foreword” for my new book. He graciously accepted that invitation. Here is some of what he said:

“ The Founding Fathers of our nation were, indeed, “uncommon heroes.” Uncommon in the sense that they were remarkable and exceptional men, the kind one would rarely encounter. Heroes in the sense of legendary figures who were endowed with divine character, ability, and strength. When reading Allen’s book ‘Founding Fathers—Uncommon Heroes’, I appreciated anew these legendary figures, these men of great faith, inspired vision, acute understanding, unrivaled integrity, and dogged perseverance. Beyond that I appreciated in a new light the divine miracle that brought these brilliant, courageous men together at the same point in time to stand nobly by their beliefs until their united efforts and actions brought forth a new nation that would change the world.” (Founding Fathers—Uncommon Heroes, 2003, Foreword, Orrin Hatch, page vii.)

There are several more glowing words in the continued paragraphs of Senator Hatch’s words. You should read them!
