Land that I Love<\/em>.<\/a><\/h4>\n \nEndorsements<\/h2>\n Mrs. Bobbie Ames has been our close friend at the Alabama Gazette<\/i> for over a dozen years. Her monthly rumination in our publication on the spiritual history and spiritual course of our nation, that forms the contents of this book, serves as a beacon of wisdom, hope, and love in an era when many have been uninformed or misinformed as to the greatness of this country, its Founding Fathers, and the ongoing spiritual struggles that confront our Christian society today. Bobbie\u2019s erudite collection of prose will serve humanity, and more specifically, the Christian community, for generations to come. We at the Gazette<\/i> are humbled and honored that Bobbie chose our publication to share some of her greatest treatises. Bobbie undoubtedly stands as one of the foremost Christian writers of this or any generation.<\/span><\/p>\n God Bless Bobbie and all who read Land That I Love<\/i>.

Her essays have graced the lives of many as she faithfully delivered her heart through her writing over decades. This collection sets the memorial stones in place as a trust for future generations who, if we have done our work, will ask, \u201cWhat do these stones mean?\u201d She tells the stories with a heartfelt faith honed through her years of founding Christian schools, teaching children, and investing the gifts God gave her in his people.

The writings of Bobbie Ames teach us what those founding beliefs and principles are in preparation for the sacred task ahead of us, the devoted citizens of this Constitutional Republic.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Honorable Tom Parker<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Chief Justice,<\/span> Alabama Supreme Court<\/span><\/p>\nThis beautiful book of essays lovingly written by Bobbie Ames is a treasure for all who love this great land. You will want to glean from these pages, and then share with family and others, the amazing truth of history, often obscured, of why this land is so blessed and how it can remain so. The eternal foundational truths held by our Founding Fathers are key and are exhibited throughout decades of Bobbie\u2019s writings and now in this collection of essays.<\/span><\/p>\nIt is such an honor and joy to endorse this book, Land That I Love<\/i>, given by my dear, long-time friend, Bobbie Ames, who faithfully writes of our true history for those who have a desire to know\u2026<\/span>\u2006<\/span>His Story<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.<\/em> (Psalm 33:12)<\/span><\/p>\nDottie James Parker<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Wife of Tom Parker, <\/span>Chief Justice,<\/span> Alabama Supreme Court, <\/span>Editorial assistance to Bobbie for almost a decade on her monthly articles <\/span>for \u201cThe Education Station,\u201d published in the Alabama Gazette<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nIs there a second act for America? Does America get a second chance? If it could be so, Bobbie Ames\u2019s book, Land That I Love<\/i>, has the moral, historical, and Biblical prescription for such a renewal. Many years ago, before her late husband died, he urged her to give herself fully to children and Christian schooling. He said, \u201cIf you do this, you cannot go wrong.\u201d Indeed, she has given herself to this wonderful Christian service for fifty years. Her book is a compilation of the wisdom and experience she passed to her Christian school children, a resource to be used for both Christian schools and home schooling to \u201crestore our Christian heritage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n E. Ray Moore<\/span><\/strong>, Th.M., <\/span>Chaplain (Lt. Col.) USAR Ret., <\/span>Director of Exodus Mandate<\/span><\/p>\nThe Lord has blessed and enriched our lives through Mrs. Bobbie Ames. Our daughters (and through them, we) were taught the Biblical worldview using the Principle Based Approach at Mrs. Bobbie\u2019s school, Emerald Mountain Christian School, from kindergarten through twelfth grade. They are both very talented, blessed, and successful. Mrs. Bobbie\u2019s influence on our lives has made for a very rich Christian life in service to our Lord and Savior.

Her book is more than just a collection of essays on <\/span>civics; it is a comprehensive overview of how a Christian is to live out one\u2019s duty to country. Her book is more than concepts, but the <\/span>truth and a vision of Christian nationalism that comes from her heart and is lived out in her life. <\/span><\/p>\nThomas Ertl<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>Zurich Publishing<\/span><\/p>\nWith joy I commend Bobbie Ames\u2019s book Land That I Love <\/i>to the <\/span>reader. I met Bobbie more than four decades ago as I was only beginning my adventure in the study of America\u2019s rich Christian heritage. Her love of the Pilgrims and their legacy caught my attention, since my calling to Plymouth was in its infancy. As you read this book, you will travel with Bobbie forward and backward through time as you mine the depths of Biblical and constitutional truths that are the pillars of our religious and civil liberty. These chapters are ready-made stories to read to your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Bobbie writes that the Pilgrims \u201cbrought the Reformation with them as their core values and intent.\u201d I agree, and over the years, when I might be discouraged as a Pastor, historian, and writer, I would get a call and hear the voice of a true patriot encouraging me. Bobbie writes, \u201cFew today share the historic importance of our Pilgrim <\/span>Fathers\u2019 impact on early America.\u201d This is unfortunately true, but I follow in the footsteps and path of pioneers like Bobbie Ames, and <\/span>prayerfully, as we prepare here in Plymouth to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of those Pilgrims, we will all see a new generation appreciate what Bobbie longs to communicate, <\/span>that America, because of her \u201cGilgal Stones\u201d laid at her birth, will <\/span>once again be the \u201cland that I love\u201d! <\/span><\/p>\nDr. Paul Jehle<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>President, Plymouth Rock Foundation, plymrock.org<\/a>; Pastor, The New Testament Church of Plymouth, MA<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n Praise for Land That I Love<\/p>\n
