Yet somehow--on battlefields, across western wilderness, and in raucous convention halls--astounding events have reliably advanced America, restoring faith in the Republic's providential protection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this provocative historical narrative, Michael Medved brings to life ten haunting tales that reveal this purposeful pattern, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - A near-fatal carriage accident forces Lincoln's secretary of state into a canvas-and-steel neck brace that protects him from a would-be assassin's knife thrusts, allowing him two years later to acquire Alaska for the United States. \u003cbr\u003e - A sudden tidal wave of Russian Jewish immigration, be­ginning in 1881, coincides with America's rise to world leadership, fulfilling a biblical promise that those bless­ing Abraham's children will themselves be blessed. \u003cbr\u003e - Campaigning for president, Theodore Roosevelt takes a bullet in the chest, but a folded speech in his jacket pocket slows its progress and saves his life. \u003cbr\u003e - At the Battle of Midway, U.S. planes get lost over empty ocean and then miraculously reconnect for five minutes of dive-bombing that wrecks Japan's fleet, convincing even enemy commanders that higher powers intervened against them. \u003cbr\u003e - A behind-the-scenes \"conspiracy of the pure of heart\" by Democratic leaders forces a gravely ill FDR to replace his sitting vice president--an unstable Stalinist--with future White House great Harry Truman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These and other little-known stories build on themes of \u003ci\u003eThe American Miracle, \u003c\/i\u003eMedved's bestseller about America's remarkable rise. The confident heroes and stubborn misfits in these pages shared a common faith in a master plan, which continues to unfold in our time. \u003ci\u003eGod's Hand on America \u003c\/i\u003econ­firms that the founders were right about America's destiny to lead and enlighten the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Medved\u003c\/b\u003e's daily three-hour radio program, The Michael Medved Show, reaches more than 5 million listeners on more than 300 stations coast to coast.
