Like Rothbard before him, Dr. Newman has authored a book that is masterfully researched and captivatingly written. Even the most voracious listener of American history will never see some of America's "Great Men" the same way again.

Without dogma, more people will be able to flourish spiritually, and deconstructed churches may even be able to start growing again.
