The Battle of Lexington: A Sermon and Eyewitness Narrative
The Battle of Lexington: A Sermon and Eyewitness Narrative
Overview
It's American History Month, a great time to read recent books about the American Revolution! "The Battle of Lexington : a sermon and eyewitness narrative" by Jonas Clark, pastor, Church of Lexington (Nordskog Publishing) The original title of this book was "The Fate of Blood-thirsty Oppressors, and GOD's Tender Care of His Distressed People, 1776". The little book also contains four poems about the era : "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; "Lexington" by Oliver Wendell Holms; "Lexington" by John Greenleaf Whittier; and "Concord Hymn" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. This remarkable document is told by a pastor who found eight of his parishioners dead and many more wounded in the aftermath of the Battle of Lexington, where was fired "the shot heard 'round the world." Everything in the world changed on that day . Now we have an eyewitness to tell us about this earth-shattering event! Pastor Jonas Clark's witness reminds us that we must stand and make a difference for the Lord. I'm Doc Kirby and that's a Book Bit! (Book Reviewer Doc Kirby, WTBF-AM/FM, Troy, Alabama. Aired 2/21/08) --Doc Kirby and that's a Book Bit!The history minor in me loves period documents. This small book contains the sermon and eye-witness narrative of Pastor Jonas Clark, delivered on the one-year anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. For those who need a quick review: the Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first skirmishes between the British Red Coats and the Massachusetts militia because the British were out to take the store weapons of the militia. The book opens with a short biography of Pastor Clark, an impressive man. Then the sermon follows. The language is true to the time, so not easy for young children to read. However, it will give a great flavor of the era to middle-school and high-school students. The second half of the book contains Pastor Clark's eyewitness account of the battle. The slim volume ends with an appendix of four poems that memorialize the battle: Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Lexington by Oliver Wendall Holmes, Lexington by John Greenleaf Whittier, and Concord Hymn by Ralph Waldo Emerson. This book is a nice supplement for middle- or high-school students who are studying the American Revolution. The volume will add a nice first-person account of this pivotal battle that in many ways launched the war. Cara Putman ©2009 Home Life, Inc.

Used by permission. --Practical Homeschooling magazine Nov/Dec 2009I 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. "Patriot Pastor" Garrett LearThe 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. No other king but KING JESUS!
