The Covenant, Lincoln, and the War

From the best-selling author of The Covenant: One Nation Under God. Foreword by Gerald Molen, Academy Award-winning producer of Schindler's List.

Was the Civil War a Holy War? For 150 years, multiple and widely varied explanations for the meaning of this great American conflict have been published. The confusion over the war's meaning is largely due to the loss of one historical factor--that America was and is a promised land placed under covenant by the Almighty. Best-selling author Timothy Ballard argues that this lost knowledge is the key to not only unlocking the mysteries of the Civil War, but to restoring and healing America today.

Timothy Ballard has written several books on America and its religious roots, including The Covenant: One Nation Under God, which soared to number 3 on the Amazon best-seller list. He has worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and as a U.S. Special Agent, where he spends significant time as an overseas operative to dismantle crime rings involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of children. For the last decade, Tim has taught American and International Politics at San Diego State University and at Imperial Valley College.
