The Miracle of Freedom: Seven Tipping Points That Saved the World


Product Description
How unusual is it, really, in the history of all known human experience, to enjoy the blessings of living free? The answer may surprise you. In The Miracle of Freedom, Chris and Ted Stewart make a strong case that fewer than 5 percent of all people who have ever lived on the earth have lived under conditions that we could consider free. So where did freedom come from, and how are we fortunate enough to experience it in our day? A deeper look at the human record, write the authors, reveals a series of critical events, obvious forks in the road leading to very different outcomes, that resulted in this extraordinary period in which we live. They identify and discuss seven decisive tipping points: 1. The defeat of the Assyrians in their quest to destroy the kingdom of Judah 2. The victory of the Greeks over the Persians at Thermopylae and Salamis 3. Roman Emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity 4. The defeat of the armies of Islam at Poitiers 5. The failure of the Mongols in their effort to conquer Europe 6. The discovery of the New World 7. The Battle of Britain in World War II The journey to freedom has been thousands of years long. Now that it has found its place in the world, the question for those of us who experience its benefits is simply this: Will we work to preserve the miracle of freedom that we enjoy today?

Customer Review The Miracle of Freedom: Seven Tipping Points That Saved the World
By :Jim Danielson (Liberty, MO United States)

This is one of most thought-provoking books that I have read in a long time.

I believe that we are at a "tipping point" in history. What happens in the next few years will have a major impact for many generations to come.

It is true that freedom isn't free.

It is also true that freedom doesn't just evolve or just happen.

The authors make a convincing case for seven tipping points that saved the world for freedom.The key question, is which way will number eight tip?
