Share the Inheritance: Gifts of Intangible and Tangible Wealth
Dr David Abbott MRCP
Hardcover
(The Inheritance Press, Aug. 9, 2010)
Abandoning the rather common and cynical view that history is but a series of grim problems, SHARE THE INHERITANCE takes you on an exhilarating tour of historical gifts created in Britain and America. The book is packed with gold nuggets of information, little-known facts, color illustrations, stories about the men and women who triumphed over hatred and oppression to create the gifts of the Inheritance, a timeline and a study guide. Like the underground aquifers and pipes which supply us with water, the Inheritance is often overlooked though it is life-giving. The authors have experienced life without the Inheritance, and know how desperately hard it is to live without freedom, fair play, delight in reason, a covenant of justice between leader and people, the right to self-defense, equality of opportunity, forgiveness, and trust, to name a few of the gifts. This history can inspire young Americans, and give adults a refreshing review of the crucial and positive events behind America. The inspiration of Christianity is addressed. Intriguing facts are footnoted. "A DELIGHT. . .draws together some of the key lessons of Anglo-American history." Roger Helmer MEP, The Freedom Association, UK"IT HAS A FORMAT AND STYLE I HAVE NEVER BEFORE ENCOUNTERED with facts I didn't know." Lindsay Jenkins, Journalist, London "I LIKE YOUR BOOK VERY MUCH, and will bring it with me the next time I visit my grandchildren." Physicist Freeman Dyson, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA "THE PAGES SHIMMER WITH PICTURES illustrating the text, which rolls down the page like a highway. The margin is a bicycle path of pictures, notes and thoughts." James Hodge, Professor Emeritus of German, Bowdoin College, Maine, USA "THERE IS. . .AN URGENT NEED TO RECREATE A VISION, which will preserve all that is best in our heritage. SHARE THE INHERITANCE invokes that vision." The Baroness Cox of Queensbury. Share this book with a young American.
