LBCCS Movie Night Review and Resources

Students of liberty,

Thanks to all who came to the Friday movie night. I feel bad for those who missed out on the event. But we had over a dozen folks and the meeting went great! It was launched by Randy Toman who led our invocation. You can find him online at LehighValleyConservative.com and he is the founder of the Concerned Citizens of the Bethlehem School District. The CC-BASD is the organization that is hosting our special educational event on the 19th. Following the invocation, I made a quick presentation on money and the intentionally forgotten history of the Revolutionary war. Then we watched episodes 3 and 4 of "Liberty! The American Revolution." For those who missed the meeting, click here to watch the episodes online.

We covered the years 1776-1778 from Washington retreating from New York City, to his surprise attack on the Hessian troops in Trenton, to the crushing defeat of the British in Saratoga led by Benedict Arnold, to the French deciding to enter the war on America's side. It was exciting and inspiring to watch and I hope you all will consider coming to our next movie night coming in November.

For further reading on the the revolutionary generation, we would suggest:

Liberty! The American Revolution, by Thomas Fleming
1776, by David McCullough
Common Sense, by Thomas Paine
The 5000 Year Leap, by W. Cleon Skousen
The Making of America, by W. Cleon Skousen

And lastly, special thanks to Paul Fiske for providing the coffee, Pastor David Massie for use of the chapel, and Rose Dunlap for bringing snacks.

Blessings in liberty,

Ryan Burgett
