As a grassroots conservative leader dedicated to the Founding and the Constitution, the roots of our nation are very important to me. So when I heard that freedom-loving Congresswoman Virginia Foxx had written a book – God is in the House: Congressional Testimonies of Faith – about members of the House of Representatives and their faith, I was excited to learn more.

But I wasn’t surprised. As a student of history, I knew that our very first Speaker of the House, Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, was an ordained minister. His biography at Penn provides more details:

A supporter of the patriotic movement, Muhlenberg left New York City for Philadelphia when the British occupation became imminent in 1776. In Philadelphia, he preached at various places, but quit the ministry in 1780 to engage in politics and to support his family through business pursuits. His unsolicited 1779 nomination as a delegate (replacing the recently deceased Edward Biddle) to the Continental Congress began a long and successful career in state and national politics. He served on the Continental Congress until 1780.

You can read an excerpt here from the book by my good friend and great conservative American patriot Allen West. He talks about how his faith has guided him through combat zones, tough elections, and a life of public service.

As we get closer to election day this year, stories about the faithfulness of our elected representatives are good reminders of the selfless sacrifices made by our fellow Americans.

I’m glad Rep. Foxx took the time to put this together and I hope you check it out.
