Book Review – The Portable Patriot – Edited by Joel Miller & Kristen Parrish

The Portable PatriotI’ve always enjoyed history; particularly American history. One of my goals has always been to read more of the documents written by and referred to by our Founding Fathers.

I’ve had access to several resources over the years that allowed me the opportunity to peruse many of these early American documents. But those resources have been many and varied.

Not so, any longer. Thanks to Joel Miller and Kristen Parrish, an enormous selection of crucial founding documents has been compiled together in The Portable Patriot.

The Portable Patriot includes the obvious, such as The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights and the Amendments. But it also includes selections from The Federalist Papers; many sources of personal correspondence from people like John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington; the Mayflower Compact and much more.

The editors have broken these early documents into sub-era categories: Beginnings, Pre-Revolution, Revolution, Founding, and Republic. This small volume is of inestimable value, reminding us of our roots, not only as a nation beginning on the shores of a new continent, but of our roots as a nation founded upon the principles of God himself, and based upon his Word.

My copy is already beginning to look dog-eared. The Portable Patriot is a convenient tool and resource for any American, whether you are a student of history or not. Grab one today!
