The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen

"The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. 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."

I enjoyed the simplicity of this book. The principles it talks about are so basic and make so much sense but it seems in our country today those basic principles are lacking. This book was recommended to me in order to help me better understand the Constitution of the United States and it surely did that. The chapters are short and their point plainly made. I recommend everyone read it that they may understand the principles this country was founded on and that the way to solve the problems of today are to live the principles this country was based on hundreds of years ago. When principles are true, they cannot be faded by time.
