Alibi on my goals as I already started reading this book. The Christian History of the American Revolution. Almost 700 pages. Best that I can tell, the authors wrote from around 1774 to 1890. So far the most interesting section is the title "France repelled in 1746 through prayer and fasting of new Englanders" The author describes a large French fleet that planned to wreck the entire English eastern seacoast of America. They attribute the misfortunes of multiple storms upon the fleet and groups of French ships not being able to find each other as if divinely blinded. The French fleet was almost completely destroyed by natural means and panicked burning of ships. The colonists sated in 1798: "A God hearing prayer, stretched forth the arm of his power, and destroyed that mighty armament, in a manner almost as extraordinary as the drowning of Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea".
