Inspired by this thought the author wrote, In the Beginning God . . . . . A Primer on Self-government with rhythm and in rhyme to excite all ages in an adventure from Creation to the present. Poetry and suggestions for imaginative drawing and creative thinking stimulate interest in this one-of-a-kind nation. Learning becomes fun as the student takes on the role of Illustrator.
