Summary: Powerful Symbols, Embodiment of America
Comment: America is a country founded upon principles. Principles focusing on the freedoms of every man,
woman and child who proudly call themselves an American. The symbols that our founding fathers used
to represent these principles are evident in almost every building, statue and even city street
layouts. After reading this book, you will see how important these symbols are and how they have the
ability to reach people on truly countless levels.

The author does an excellent job at
discounting the Freemason ties that some conspiracy theorists like to ascribe to nearly anything
that fits their agenda; as well as presenting much more believable, historically validated meanings
behind these symbols.

This book is an easy read and is quite exciting!

Summary: fascinating! (and inspiring)
Comment: I was lucky enough to get an early copy via a friend. If you are interested in the U.S., history,
art, culture, or politics you will find so much written here that will illuminate, inform and
inspire - not just citizens of the U.S. but anyone interested in what the United States represents
and symbolizes to many around the world. And, especially pertinent to these times, Dr. Hieronimus
and Ms Cortner reveal how the radical new vision, hope and wisdom of our country's founders informed
our most potent seals, statues, monuments and icons. There's a lot to be proud of - and a lot that
we need to reclaim, or should I say, that can help us revive the best values that not just citizens
of the USA know and love, but citizens of the world can be inspired by as well.

Summary: Highly Recommended and Motivating
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. Read it right through in one sitting, and am still returning to various
sections. Especially enjoy the emphasis on the feminine archetype as seen in many symbols, where
the land of opportunity means we will find balance between male and female in all things.
Hieronimus says our symbols give hope that Americans can rise above the way things always have been.
We have the choice to enjoy freedom in this country, but we also have the responsibility to protect
it. Highly recommended and motivating.
