Description

Without the foundational right of religious conscience, James Madison knew, this country could not survive. This inspiring book chronicles how this right became sacred to Madison and how, with a relentlessness borne of faith in God and country, he carefully wove this truth into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. More than two hundred years later, his message still rings true: there is no liberty without faith.
