America is one of the greatest experiments to have ever been attempted. Despite her flaws, no other country has given such a diverse group of people the greatest liberties and opportunities as that of the great American dream. But what made America so great? And who were the people behind the ideas that founded America on a structure that would make America the greatest world power ever conceived?Although Aristotle and Shakespeare did not directly influence how America would be structured, the literature preserving their thoughts had a tremendous effect on the Western world, and particularly on Americans.But as valuable as their thoughts were to the Western world, and America in particular, we must still put their thoughts under the scope of Scripture, for Scripture alone can be trusted as the source by which we measure all that is said, compelling us to hold fast to all that is true, and demanding from us to reject all that is false.

Five years have passed since Billy Cassola wrestled away the Berkemeier homestead from Eli. But life for Billy didn't go as planned, and he finds himself fighting for his life, his health deteriorating rapidly. The Berkemeier family had stayed on at Doc Wilson's place, and soon Eli had the Wilson farm thriving under his Protestant work ethic. But the past year brought dry weather, and everything they had accumulated the past few years was used up just to survive. The Berkemeier family was going to be okay, but when Eli bumps into Billy and learns of his ailing health and his need for financial support to go east to a doctor who could potentially help him, Eli once again finds himself in a predicament. Follow along as Eli wrestles with his thoughts, trying to decide if and how to help Billy. To make matters worse, Eli is presented with an opportunity to go up against Billy and get his homestead back. Will Eli go against his desires and help a dying enemy? Or will he turn his back on Billy and leave him to his fate? Or will he betray Billy to get his homestead back? Only time will tell.
