America is in the midst of a cultural and constitutional law crisis that began more than sixty years ago and was further exacerbated by the 2015 Supreme Court same-sex marriage decision. How did we become a culture that lacks objective morality and embraces secular ideas, hinging on the majority whim of nine justices? How do we get back to being a biblically moral, upright society and recognizing the U.S. Constitution as supreme law of the land?

In The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution, Jenna Ellis makes a compelling case for the true roots of America?s Founding Documents in objective morality and how our system of government is founded upon the Christian worldview and God?s unchanging law, not a secular humanist worldview. She provides a unique perspective of the Founding Fathers as lawyers and how they understood the legitimate authority of biblical truth and appealed directly to God?s law for the foundation of America.

Weaving together the legal history and underpinning worldview shifts in American culture, Ellis advocates how Christians must change the basic reasoning of our appeal and effectively engage our culture. Finally, she proposes the solution to reclaim objective, biblical morality in law that the Founders themselves provided for through Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

This book is for every Christian who seeks to understand the times and our constitutional and cultural crisis.

Title: Balance and wisdom on the Founders
Review: I became interested in Jenna Ellis' book through an online source and was intrigued by the title, so I ordered it. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. Having read a wide variety of works on our Founding Fathers and also aware of some of the somewhat simplistic views of some conservatives as well as the egregious nonsense of the historical revisionists, I was impressed with Ms. Ellis' knowledge of the Founders and their cohesion in working out of the details of both the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution. Although their diverse theological views and differing emphases on certain aspects of what ordered liberty would look like were apparent in their writings, she does a very good job of drawing attention to their closing ranks on the foundational aspects of how this government was to operate and the only possible basis for creating and maintaining it through their posterity. She also demonstrates how they saw checks and balances function and how sadly, in our time, we have seen these safeguards negated to the point of crisis. But, even in this sorry state that we now find ourselves, Jenna also reveals a built-in option that they placed in the Constitution for the people to use in reigning in an irresponsible, renegade government, especially a SOTUS that has radically overstepped its mandated purpose. Rather than give away the farm, I urge a thoughtful reading of this work. In my opinion, her recommendations at the end are worth the investment alone. I highly and enthusiastically recommend it.

Title: Amazing book
Review: Jenna Ellis lays out the reasons Christians need to learn Constitutional Law. She goes through the Constitution and the history behind it to show how it was made by the Founding Fathers. Her premise states that the Founders based the Constitution on Divine Law, rather than Social Contract Theory.A very easy read, and Christians will enjoy it.

Title: An Answer to the American Dilemma
Review: Jenna Ellis explains Constitutional Law from an original interpretation. Sad to say this is gravely in need. However, this writing is an excellent means to lay a foundation. I am a home educator and will be using this as fundamental part of my U.S. Government/Civics curriculum. If you have any interest of restoring true order and harmony to the United States this is a must read. Jenna Ellis proves worldview and politics are not mutually exclusive. Lest we understand this and act assertively we will lose what was handed down over 200 years ago. Beneficial to anyone regardless of persuasion who has interest in this country.

Title: Fantastic Read!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It very clearly explains how America was founded upon Christian principles and that there is a LEGAL basis to support that. Jenna Ellis offers hope for returning to our founders' vision of America. Very informative and would love to read more of your writing!
