About this product

Product Information

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times. In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.

What WAS Constitution all about???
What do you really know about the Constitution, probably like me not a lot? Sure I know about the 10 Amendments but WHY did they make those and why did they do the things they did. These were ordinary men who came together with different views and ideas but somehow in a single moment in time brought the world forward 5000 years...how did they do that? This book tells you the values, fears and thoughts they had as they took this new government system very very seriously trying to avoid all the pitfalls of governments before. Overtime we have lost track of those values and have flipped out country upside down. They wanted government to begin in the family and work its way up, not to have Congress hand us goodies as they see fit. They wanted religion, any religion, to be pursued to keep ...

This book tells you the values, fears and thoughts they had as they took this new government system very very seriously trying to avoid all the pitfalls of governments before. Overtime we have lost track of those values and have flipped out country upside down. They wanted government to begin in the family and work its way up, not to have Congress hand us goodies as they see fit. They wanted religion, any religion, to be pursued to keep the normal man having good values that kept him from doing evil. They wanted only top moral, experience men to serve in office AND that these people only serve a short time and then let others serve. They wanted to avoid the possibility of a king because man often becomes complacent and drifts towards letting others do it rather than take responsibility. This book is easy reading but extremely enlightening. What a wakeup call ...our country is in serious troubles and all the hard work and good intentions of the founding fathers, especially their fears, are coming to pass. Read this book, think about it and do something. As an American it is our duty to keep America as the Constitution requires. Read and see why. What will you say to your grandchildren when they asked why you did nothing, why you didn't speak out.

The 5000 Year Leap - It Brings Us to the Edge!
I purchased this book because I heard many comments about the impact it made on those who read it. From my perspective, that is an understatement! Those who refer to themselves as "Liberal" in thought and belief will be shocked by the revelations presented. Those who consider themselves to be a "Conservative" will be embarrassed, among other things. I doubt anyone who reads this will end the book satisfied either with their present position, or with that of those they thought they opposed. I once heard a biblical scholar say to those trying to argue with him over "his" Biblical beliefs, "I'm just the reporter. If you want to argue, argue with the Author!" In THE 5000 YEAR LEAP, Mr. Skousen reports the truth, the facts about the founding of ... I purchased this book because I heard many comments about the impact it made on those who read it.

I once heard a biblical scholar say to those trying to argue with him over "his" Biblical beliefs, "I'm just the reporter. If you want to argue, argue with the Author!" In THE 5000 YEAR LEAP, Mr. Skousen reports the truth, the facts about the founding of this country and the reasoning behind the ideas and ideals presented in the Constitution of the United States of America. In his way, he forces us to turn from our own, selfish opinions (the ones we all use to fight one another over how to understand the Constitution) and direct our argument toward the authors. These men who, when we compare their fears and concerns for this nation's survival, appear to have been quite prophetic. If you, regardless of label, are really searching for a deeper, clearer and even frightening understanding of where the Founders had hoped we would go and where we actually are, TODAY, you must read this book!

Informative & vital concepts the general public lacks.
I like the theroms presented as well as the method of discussion. The book gives one the desire to learn and recite from the writings of Cicero and other individuals whose understanding allowed the great republic of the United States to form, prosper and continue. Without the masses of the American citizenry understanding and entertaining the knowledge of the cited principles of this book the hope for freedom to continue is dashed. However, when such principles are well understood we can optimistically look forward to a vibrant future and hope and believe in a long enduring healthy free and moral public. A recommended read for any civic class, High School and College History/Government as well as any elected or appointed official of any local, state, and especially federal government. Oh ...

Oh that those who we have elected would abide by the principles of liberty and justice.

The Real History of the U.S. Place in the World
The author took an approach to American history that I had not come across previously, claiming that the system established by the Constitution of the U.S. allowed our country to advance our standard of living in some 200 years by an amount equal to the advances in the prior 5,000 years. He points out that when the colonists landed on these shores, they used arts and crafts not very different from those which had been in use in agriculture, manufacturing and governing not very different from those used in the "advanced cultures" of their day some 5,000 years previously and attributes that leap to the system established which rewarded individual effort and innovation. The Founders were able to do this by studying and capitalizing on the thoughts and philosophies of the best preceding ... The author took an approach to American history that I had not come across previously, claiming that the system established by the Constitution of the U.S. allowed our country to advance our standard of living in some 200 years by an amount equal to the advances in the prior 5,000 years. He points out that when the colonists landed on these shores, they used arts and crafts not very different from those which had been in use in agriculture, manufacturing and governing not very different from those used in the "advanced cultures" of their day some 5,000 years previously and attributes that leap to the system established which rewarded individual effort and innovation. The Founders were able to do this by studying and capitalizing on the thoughts and philosophies of the best preceding centuries. This serves as a warning for those who would, without sufficient understanding, throw over the system established by the Constitution. This book would serve as an excellent text for high school students and help us to pass along the lessons learned by others' errors instead of forcing students to learn by trial and effort, the least efficient and most costly method of passing along knowledge from generation to generation.
