"As a history lover, I was drawn to The Battle of Lexington: A Sermon and Eyewitness Narrative by Jonas Clark. Originally titled, The Fate of Blood-Thirsty Oppressors and God's Tender Care of His Distressed People, this book includes a sermon given by Clark on the one year anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, in which was fired "the shot heard round the world." Also included is Clark's eyewitness narrative of the battle where America's War for Independence began. A thought-provoking Introduction is provided by Reverend Christopher Hoops, and the eyewitness account is followed by five pages of Endnotes, and an Appendix featuring four poems: "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Lexington" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, "Lexington" by John Greenleaf Whittier, and "Concord Hymn" ("shot heard round the world") by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I memorized "Paul Revere's Ride" in high school, and it's one of my all-time favorite narrative poems. I've used it for a public speaking class and in a writing workshop with our third graders who were studying the American Revolution. While I enjoyed this book for its celebration of an important part of America's history, I was surprised to find in Clark's sermon, lessons that could be applied to our modern world. His discussion on how God cares for His people and seeks justice for those who are oppressed would make for a good sermon today. If you like historical accounts or want to teach your teen reader about the start of the American Revolution, The Battle of Lexington by Jonas Clark would be an excellent book to read. - Cheryl C. Malandrinos, I appreciate the scholarship of Nordskog Publishing by bringing the April 19, 1776 sermon of Patriot Pastor Jonas Clark in the beautifully produced The Battle of Lexington. This sermon, although 232 years old, is very much needed for today as it describes how a people can become far from life in CHRIST and how they can be restored to THE FATHER'S will... it is about what we today call revival. This sermon message describes the proper role of government in men's lives and what happens when government becomes tyrannical. The Battle of Lexington is about the cause of mankind... freedom, liberty and reliance on THE GOD of THE BIBLE... even its colorful cover elicits an American response which touches posterity. This book and the associated appendix is a must have. As a direct descendant myself of The Founding Fathers and having been born in Lexington, I am giving this book to every preacher, legislator and patriot that I can afford to. As a companion to Lexington, I also recommend GOD'S Ten Commandments. One can not understand America's foundations with out the truth expressed in this little book with a very big message. Both books are economically priced and sized just right to be handed out for pocket carrying. - Garrett Lear, "The Patriot Pastor", I appreciate the scholarship of Nordskog Publishing by bringing the April 19, 1776 sermon of Patriot Pastor Jonas Clark in the beautifully produced The Battle of Lexington.

Synopsis
There was no better-prepared place to inaugurate the first battle of the War for Independence than the little village of Lexington. For Pastor Clark "discussed from the pulpit the great questions at issue, and that powerful voice thundered forth the principles of personal, civil, and religious liberty, and the right of resistance, in tones as earnest and effective as it had the doctrines of salvation by the cross." (J. T. Headley) "It was to the congregation, educated by such a man, that Providence allowed to be entrusted the momentous events of April 19, events which were to decide the fate of a continent--that of civil liberty the world over." Today, the Battle of Lexington is little spoken of, for as a nation we have forgotten our history. We have neglected the heroes of our freedom and liberty. But there was a time when this day was remembered and odes were written to commemorate the occasion. "Paul Revere's Ride" and the "Concord Hymn" are two examples. Our history books no longer tell the true story of Lexington, so we must.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
