A story that must not be erased from America’s history or from the public squares of nations worldwide…

“In all the history of the world, as nations have arisen and fallen amid endless war and bloodshed, the founding of America was utterly unique,” writes Derek Prince. “Reaching the shores of an unknown wilderness, a small group of people planted seeds—not of military might, or wealth, or power, but seeds of faith and freedom. And those seeds took hold and grew.”

Such seeds affect the destinies of nations. 

A nation participates in shaping its own destiny through the process of sowing and reaping: what nations sow, they will reap. If they seek to align themselves with God’s purposes, they will experience His favor and blessing. But if they seek to align themselves with purposes that are in opposition to God’s, they will not prosper.

Who were the Pilgrims? Why did they come to America? What difference did they make in the history of our country—and what does their legacy tell us about our country’s destiny?

The seeds sown by our Pilgrim ancestors 400 years ago continue to influence our culture and government. The basic principles by which they lived—beliefs in personal liberty, freedom of religion, and living in covenant with others—laid a strong foundation for America’s religious and political freedom. Without question, what the Pilgrims sowed, America has reaped as an abundant harvest.

Yet how long will the blessing of the Pilgrims’ influence continue? The light of this nation is still shining. But something is going wrong. Like a heavy, unanticipated fog, spiritual darkness is gradually moving in to dim that light.

In The Pilgrim Legacy, internationally-recognized Bible teacher and scholar Derek Prince discloses the biblical principles and tools at work in the lives of this small group of Christians who were, in a sense, the spiritual ancestors of the United States. It was these principles that not only helped to establish the nation but enabled America to be a stepping-stone in spreading the light of the gospel of the kingdom around the world.

By discovering and implementing the principles by which the Pilgrims lived, we can continue The Pilgrim Legacytoday and preserve the spiritual destiny of our nation.

My Thoughts

So they left that goodly and pleasant city which had been their resting place near twelve years; but they knew they were pilgrims, and looked not much on those things, but lift up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest country, and quieted their spirits.

—William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation

“The Pilgrim Legacy” by Derek Prince is a historical book that all Americans should read. It’s a short read that dives into how the Pilgrims helped shape America and the Biblical principles they used. It is a call to follow God’s ways as the Pilgrims did. It’s a call to fast, pray, and honor God in your community. The legacy of the Pilgrims is not just our nation but its unique religious and civil liberty and its missionary call of sending people out to preach the gospel all over the world. This book is an excellent reminder that this legacy of faith begins in the heart, and it’s put there by Jesus Christ.

This book is timely, and an excellent reminder of how eternal ideas are like seeds that bring forth great outcomes when planted properly. When Jesus is behind our faith and foundation, and we follow his promptings, the seeds we plant can influence the destiny of nations. We truly reap what we sow. I found this book encouraging and a reminder of hope. Although we are going through difficult times, God’s people can still influence the destiny of America and the world through prayer and community. Although the harvest is plentiful, and the workers are few, this book will encourage you to step into the future, ready to do the Lord’s work and participate in His work of salvation.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
