"Anyone who is losing hope for America must read The Seed of a Nation. The inspiration lives, the seed sprouts, the idea works" (Scott W. Boyd, Pennsylvania State Representative). "The Seed of a Nation is a thoroughly researched and fascinating account of William Penn's efforts to establish a 'Holy Experiment' in Pennsylvania—a vision of governance grounded in faith and operating on the principles of tolerance and respect for all" (Senator Stewart J. Greenleaf). It was this "Holy Experiment," set out in Penn's Charter of Privileges, that provided the framework for the United States Government, including the essential underlying mandate to provide freedom for all people. So brilliant was William Penn's legacy that Thomas Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independence, called him, "the greatest lawgiver the world has produced." This fascinating work looks at the life and impact of William Penn—an impact that still echoes today.
