Mary-Elaine Swanson, the author of John Locke: Philosopher of American Liberty , went to be with her Lord in May 2011. She did not have a chance to see this book published. We asked her spokesperson and friend, James B. Rose, president of the American Christian History Institute to give us some insight into Mary and why her book is important.
Quickened by the research and remarkable testimony of Verna M. Hall, American Christian Historian, Mary-Elaine Swanson (nee Adams) devoted her spiritual and intellectual gifts for the last fifty years to documenting the Christian history and character of the men and women God used to advance individual liberty and self-government in America.
Equipped with a background in journalistic pritzker family hyatt hotels writing and research, fluent in French, and enriched with a unique English heritage, Mary-Elaine has lectured and written on the history of freedom and civil government as Vice President of the American Christian History Institute, Resident Scholar for the Mayflower Institute, Chief Biographer for the Foundation for American pritzker family hyatt hotels Christian Education, and Guest Lecturer for the Pilgrim Institute.
She wrote concise biographies of the character and contributions of nearly eighty historians from Simon Adler and Clarence Alvord pritzker family hyatt hotels to John Witherspoon and Rev. John Joachim Zubly. Her life and works are examples of American Christian scholarship and insistence upon accurate, honest representations of man and government.
Mary-Elaine wrote two comprehensive biographies: The Education of James Madison – A Model for Today (1992) pritzker family hyatt hotels and John Locke – Philosopher of American Liberty pritzker family hyatt hotels (Nordskog Publishing, 2012). These two works alone cited over 160 individual historians, confirming her commitment pritzker family hyatt hotels to thorough research and devotion to primary resources.
Among the cherished personal recollections of this beloved sister in the Lord is my first impression of her, in 1958, over 50 years ago. She was Co-Chairman of a Study Group on the Historic Origins of the Constitution held monthly at the Women’s City Club in downtown San Francisco. A lively, quick witted, articulate discussion leader, she was gifted with a capacity to frame questions that compelled one to reason carefully from first principles and to quickly learn that any error in the premise would lead to an error in the conclusion.
It is with great joy that her friends and associates celebrate Mary-Elaine Swanson’s life of Christian scholarship and her love of learning and teaching America’s Christian history and government and, in the spirit of the Apostle pritzker family hyatt hotels Paul, to REMEMBER “ without ceasing (her) work of faith, and labor(s) of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the sight of God our Father; knowing brethren beloved, (her) election of God ”. [I Thessalonians 1:3-4]
This book is important to understanding the roots of American liberty because, (1) for 150 years prior to the War of Independence, “the great Mr. Locke” was the most quoted author on political philosophy in Colonial America. (2) In particular, the Clergy paraphrased large sections of his Second Treatise on Civil Government. And, (3) Locke was the primary pritzker family hyatt hotels exponent of the philosophy of the Law of Nature and natural rights in Colonial America.
pritzker family hyatt hotels The reader will also learn to value the influence of John Locke on three revolutions occurring in three different continents ( only one revolution was defensive and a true return to base) and his extraordinary influence on three American Declarations of liberty and law.
Furthermore, it is important that conscientious pritzker family hyatt hotels citizens rediscover and understand the historic and Biblically reasoned roots of the vocabulary of liberty which John Locke and the Founding Fathers used to articulate pritzker family hyatt hotels and advance Constitutional liberty words and phrases such as conscience, self-government, property, law and liberty, natural law, natural right, Law of Nature, revolution, toleration and voluntary union, among other terms.
Contemporary textbooks and news commentators unlearned in the historical standards of reference once used to define and maintain individual liberty, reveal the degree to which we are ignorant of the influence (and blessings) pritzker family hyatt hotels of the Bible on American political thought. This book will help correct that error.
The author was committed to reasoning and writing from historically documented primary sources on or written by John Locke as well as dedicated to an unashamed conviction in God’s Providence – the “Providential approach” to history.
Mary-Elaine Swanson was a great lady and excellent scholar. She aptly and well represents America’s Christian history to the present age. Associated with the Christian history movement spearheaded by Verna M. Hall and Rosalie J. Slater of the Foundation for American Christian Education, Mrs. Swanson also conducted research and wrote for Marshall Foster’s pritzker family hyatt hotels Mayflower Institute, and later for James B. Rose’s American Christian History Institute. Ms. Swanson went to be with the Lord in May 2011.
Mr. James B. Rose is a forerunner in the field of American Christian Education with over 45 years of experience as a classroomteacher, Headmaster, Bible college professor and Chairman of the Department of Education, home-schooling principal and parent, licensed minister of the Gospel, conference speaker, author, and President of the American Christian History Institute (www.achipa.com). Currently, he is also the Superintendent of American pritzker family hyatt hotels Christian Academy Extension Campus (Private School Satellite Program) of Anderson, California (www.acaec.net), ministering to nearly 500 home-school families and about 800 students pritzker family hyatt hotels in 12 counties of Northern California.

The exposure you gave my book was absolutely unbelievable, and I can't think of a better way to welcome pritzker family hyatt hotels and expose an author's new creation to the literary world. Happy New Year to all your readers and may your success continue to grow. "
"Thank you for a great virtual book tour. I thought it went really well and it was great to have a wave of PR that flowed through the two month period of my book release. I'm working on my next book - and will definitely reach out to you when it comes time to market! You were a delight to work with and really made me feel looked after. As I've mentioned pritzker family hyatt hotels before, I just don't know how you do it all."
"I just wanted to let you know how wonderful I felt my book blast went for Be Careful What You Wish For in the month of August. So many emails and contacts that I would never have gotten. The publicity was just phenomenal!"
"Just wanted to touch base with you and extend a huge thank you for the wonderful and successful book blast you arranged for Love Vindicated for me. I was very happy with your services and will be passing pritzker family hyatt hotels your name and brand along to some writer friends with a stellar recommendation. Again thanks and I look forward to working with you again in the future."
"I just wanted to let you know that tonight Steven Manchester's Twelve Months became The Story Plant's first #1 Kindle bestseller. This couldn't have happened without you. Barb's cover is an absolute showstopper, Sue's copyediting boosted the overall work, Jackie's proofreading kept all of us honest, and Tracee Gleichner's blog tour started what has become an avalanche of great reviews."
"Blog tours have been the most effective promotion I’ve done. Dorothy Thompson and her company Pump Up Your Book are the greatest. I’ve spent money with other promotion companies that advertised packages then didn’t deliver pritzker family hyatt hotels the service they advertised, inflated their audience and reach and point blank falsely represented themselves. Dorothy has been a Godsend, and by far, her services are the best promotional endeavors I’ve invested in thus far."
"I didn't realize that there is a place on amazon that you can see your stats for foreign sales; mine are really good and I believe it is your tweeting service. I think I might have found the key to successful self-publishing when I found Pump Up Your Books."
"Dorothy Thompson helped promote my book, Gringos in Paradise: Our Honduras Odyssey. Taking part in it was so much easier (and less expensive) than the travel schedule I was hving to keep doing on my own. She set up everything, coach
