AFA Celebrates America's 250th Birthday!
The American Freedom Alliance is thrilled to invite you to our Celebration of our nation's 250th birthday!
AFA addresses the many threats facing America—threats that seek to undermine our freedoms, our institutions, and our way of life.
In addition, though, we seek to strengthen our pride in this exceptional nation, restore our civilizational confidence, and deepen our understanding of—and gratitude for—the principles upon which America was founded and that have made our country good and great.
America's 250th Birthday provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate those principles, and we are delighted to host this special event!

ERIC METAXAS
Eric Metaxas is a bestselling author, internationally recognized speaker, broadcaster, and one of America's most influential Christian intellectuals. Through his writing, speaking, media appearances, and ministry, he has spent decades exploring the enduring relationship between faith, freedom, virtue, and the future of Western Civilization.
He is the author of more than thirty books, including the New York Times bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, widely regarded as the definitive modern biography of the German theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
His many acclaimed books also include Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery, Is Atheism Dead?, and Letter to the American Church. In his recent book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, Metaxas examines the American Revolution as one of the most consequential events in human history. Far more than a military struggle for independence, he argues, the Revolution unleashed a revolutionary vision of liberty, self-government, individual rights, and human flourishing that transformed the modern world. He also emphasizes the indispensable role of Judeo-Christian values in the birth and flourishing of this "greatest nation in the history of the world."
As host of the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show and the popular Eric Metaxas Podcast, he has interviewed many of the most important thinkers, scholars, leaders, and cultural figures of our time, engaging millions of listeners on issues of faith, history, culture, and public life.
As we celebrate America's 250th Birthday, few voices are better suited to reflect on the meaning of our nation's founding, the blessings of liberty, and the responsibilities that accompany freedom. The American Freedom Alliance is honored to welcome Eric Metaxas as our featured guest.
Revolution:
The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World
The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World
There has never been a nation like the United States of America.
Its impact on the world is unprecedented in all of human history. After two and a half centuries of existence, it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without it.
But how did it come into existence? Who has really done justice to this astonishing story? Innumerable books have been written about the American Revolution, but the definitive treatment of the full story simply does not exist—certainly not in our generation. And it’s a story, actually a host of stories, that every single American really must know and celebrate.
Who better to tell it than Eric Metaxas, historian and author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including the million-selling biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer? And what better time for such a book to appear than the 250th anniversary of America’s birth?
Metaxas’s The Revolution takes us back to the beginning and retells the great story that made us great in the first place. It is definitive and sweeping, but is also fabulously entertaining, containing the dazzling array of extraordinary stories every American should know, ranging from the many events that led to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the twists and turns of the war itself, until Yorktown and beyond.
