It's common Mormon lore that God's hand was in the founding of the United States of America. Prophets have talked about it over the pulpit numerous times, and it's in the Doctrine and Covenants.
But, according to bestselling author Chris Stewart and his brother Ted, miracles didn't cease in 1776 or 1820.
So why would Chris, author of the "Great and Terrible" series and an Air Force pilot, and Ted, who's served in politics for many years, feel the need to write an entire book on something that's already a given?
"Many people think America may no longer be worthy of God's help," Chris Stewart told the Deseret News last month.

Obama's election is a positive sign that God still cares about us.
I read this and I wonder how Native Americans and Mexicans feel about it. Considering we stole or violently took their land away to make the USA.
This is a delusion that American Christians have told themselves. God was instrumental in the founding of America. The violence and racism it took to gain land is not something God would approve of or play a part in.
