Today marks the 278th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday. While we don’t celebrate the nation’s birthday until Fourth of July, this occasion warrants a festival with fireworks on its own merit—as the legacy of liberty is the gift our first president proved so instrumental in forging.

His legacy is manifest in the voluminous recorded actions about our nation's first executive. It's especially evident in his temperance, his allegiance to our Constitution and his many rejections of temptations to undermine the spirit of the young republic and amass personal power.

What motivated a man like George Washington? For a greater understanding of his courage, convictions and faith, WND proudly offers a "Life of Washington."

An historian's treat and a book collector's must-have, "Life of Washington" was originally published in 1842 by the American Sunday School Union.

Anna C. Lee, the niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, authored "Life of Washington." It was translated into over 20 languages and ranked among the most widely read biographies of Washington during his time.

The presentation of the book is like traveling back in history. Its hardcover vintage design looks weathered. The cover is crafted from texture that appears well worn and is soft to the touch. The inside pages feature a rough, slightly uneven cut to mirror the common outcome of early book-binding ventures.

But of course, don't judge it by the cover. The real treat is what's inside. "Life of Washington"  defies the modern strain of cynicism that seeks to recast Washington as a Deist ambivalent about God's vigor and involvement in human affairs.

Simply written, "Life of Washington" offers an intimate examination of Washington's deep reverence for God and unabashed gratitude for Christ's salvation.

Years of attempts to soak Washington's reputation in the secular-revisionist spin cycle can't scrub away the book's bountiful and unbending signs of the leading founding father's abiding faith.

Lee documents:

• Washington's unique faith-filled life forged from childhood to his final moments
• Accounts of his devotion to biblical values and honoring the Creator
• Events that shaped his life, faith and his tireless commitment to humble public service

As modern revisionists seek to minimize or erase all traces of America's Christian heritage, this biography sheds the remarkable light of truth on the life of our first president — and sparks insightful thinking on how thoroughly the godly devotion of a leader impacts the fate of a nation.
