Summary: Soars Like an Eagle
Review: Kinkade's "With Wings Like Eagles" will restore a sense of pride in America to even the most hardened cynic. Biblical passages are woven with reflections on our country's history to show that our nation does indeed have a purpose in God's plan. Given what the citizens of America went through with the 2000 presidential election, it would be easy to lose heart about our political process. But just sitting a while with this book, and reflecting on the great but simple values that built this country, will rouse in the reader a sense of pride and purpose that goes beyond political partisanship and bickering. With Wings Like Eagles shows, both through its writings and Kinkade's paintings, that the greatness of America lies not only in its Constitution but on the moral fiber and values of its individual citizens.

Summary: Patriotic and Inspirational
Review: This book helps to show the link between the Christian faith and the United States of America. We're reminded that all gifts come from God and that "Abundance is the attitude of God." On reflection, we're told, "It is perhaps a fault in all of us that we do not treasure the best parts of our lives as we live through them."Americans are optimistic by nature and this is based on the way the nation was founded he writes. He goes on to talk about being open to the dreams of the Holy Spirit, to the call of God on one's life. This influence of Christian optimism can be found in the names of the places established by the settlers. He reminds us, "New England Colonials were so in love with God's providence that they gave a small town in Rhode Island the name." The very name is a Christian doctrine, he adds. This is an encouraging book that will brighten your day.
