    This audiobook includes biographies on the following men: George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. 
    The Founding Fathers of the United States led the American Revolution against the Kingdom of Great Britain. Most were descendants of colonists settled in the Thirteen Colonies in North America. 
    Historian Richard B. Morris in 1973 identified the following seven figures as the key Founding Fathers: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin were members of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence. Hamilton, Madison, and Jay were authors of The Federalist Papers, advocating ratification of the Constitution. The constitutions drafted by Jay and Adams for their respective states of New York (1777) and Massachusetts (1780) were heavily relied upon when creating language for the US Constitution. Jay, Adams and Franklin negotiated the Treaty of Paris (1783) that would end the American Revolutionary War. Washington was Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and was President of the Constitutional Convention. All held additional important roles in the early government of the United States, with Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison serving as President. Jay was the nation's first Chief Justice, Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury, and Franklin was America's most senior diplomat, and later the governmental leader of Pennsylvania. 
    The term Founding Fathers is sometimes used to refer to the Signers of the embossed version of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Signers should not be confused with the term Framers; the Framers are defined by the National Archives as those 55 individuals who were appointed to be delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and took part in drafting the proposed Constitution of the United States.

    How do ordinary people become extraordinary? Annette Hubbell asks that question of seventeen world changers in this one-of-a-kind fiction/non-fiction collection of spellbinding conversations with the most unlikely of bedfellows. Spanning the ages, from Galileo to Johnny Cash, these seventeen tell all from their heavenly vantage point. Let them reveal to you their secret to eternity’s timelessness. (Hint, it has something to do with who gets the credit.). In addition to Galileo and Cash, you’ll hear from Abraham Lincoln, C. S. Lewis, J. S. Bach, John Newton, Elizabeth Fry, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver, Amy Carmichael, Mary McLeod Bethune, Aimee Semple McPherson, Corrie ten Boom, Gladys Aylward, and Louie Zamperini. All were wildly famous in their day, some still are. These seventeen biographies are written as autobiographies, and the actual words of each historical figure are in italics to differentiate from those of the author's. If you're looking for accuracy and source documents, you'll find it in the 606 endnotes. If you want to dig deeper, each profile ends with places to visit, either in person or via the internet. Each story is also tagged with three Scripture verses that might have been their favorites. Because this book is written as a collection of stories, it can be read in any order, and would make an excellent subject for a book club or an in-depth home school curriculum.
