Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-30 00:00:00 Stanley Ko As brilliant and inspired by genius as they are, the provisions of the Constitution are insufficient to hold a nation together. The American people must also have love for God and their fellow man. Holland tells why this is so, and illustrates it by showing how Abraham Lincoln guided our nation through its worst crisis, drawing upon a spiritual tradition beginning with John Winthrop and continuing through Thomas Jefferson. Christlike love is also the remedy for today's mess.
