"William Penn was a prophet! Much like Jeremiah spoke of Israel's return from exile William Penn spoke of a great nation that would sprout from a single seed! Not a place, but an idea. An idea that would inspire Thomas Jefferson to say, "William Penn was the greatest law-giver the world has produced." The idea-"that we would do the thing that is truly wise and just." Darrell & Lorrie Fields capture the essence of William Penn in their inspiring work, The Seed of a Nation. It is the historical account combined with the deep spiritual journey of Pennsylvania's father. But more than words, Darrell & Lorrie reveal the Truth that is William Penn.the Truth that is Pennsylvania.and the Truth that is the seed of our Nation.
that "if it [the seed] dies, it produces many seeds." William Penn, like most of the Founding Fathers, sacrificed all for the sake of the fledgling nation. Pledging life, fortune and sacred honor William Penn lived in a way that was truly "wise and just." Anyone who is losing hope for America must read The Seed of a Nation. The Inspiration lives, the seed sprouts, the idea works." --Honorable Scott W. Boyd, Pennsylvania State Representative.
