The goal of Under God is to develop effective citizens within the framework of the Christian faith
and Christian principles. To help students attain this goal, Under God includes sound ideas about
the foundations of constitutional government and the historical background of United States government.
The starting point in teaching government is the basic conviction that God ordains it. He is the source of
authority. That concept is the root of good government. The fear of the Lord is not only the basis, but also
the motivation for good citizenship.
The author is deeply conscious of each student's need to develop a wholesome regard for government and a sense
of personal responsibility for its proper functioning. Christian citizenship leaves no room for apathy. After
students have considered the ideas presented in this book, we hope they will choose to do some of the suggested
activities and to express their concern through citizen action groups in their communities. Such action will
help them to make a lifelong commitment to Christian citizenship.
Under God is well suited for an 8th or 9th grade civics/government course; however, the text is
also suitable for high school students and the activities suggested can be pursued in a more in-depth manner.
It is absolutely essential that we teach our children the Christian roots of our country.
To assist the teacher or homeschool parent maximize the effectiveness of this textbook we also offer the
Teacher's Resource Booklet. It includes pertinent teaching suggestions, answer keys for the
questions which appear in the textbook, and unit tests (with answers) to help evaluate the student's understanding
of the material. This booklet is 8 1/2 x 11, 3-hole punched. We urge you to make it the basis of a notebook you
compile while teaching this course. Include notes about your research into the study topics included in the text,
teaching notes, and special projects you and your students pursue.
We trust these materials will help Christian students realize their potential for effective citizenship under God.
