What are the Red Books?
For over forty years, the foreward-thinking vision of Verna Hall and Rosalie Slater to document the Christian history of the U.S. Constitution has inspired American Christians to reclaim our nation for Christ His Story. The “Red Books,” bound in red vellum with the gold-embossed eagle logo, have inspired the church, the family, and the individual with the unique, providential purpose of our nation, so that each generation can be taught anew the value and stewardship of American liberty and its Gospel purpose.

The first three volumes are the classic “Red Books.” The fourth and sixth are similarly designed with blue vellum to represent the faith and courage of the American patriot. The fifth, similar also in design, is black and was published to commemorate Ronald Reagan’s “Year of the Bible” in 1983.
The “Red Books” have been reprinted without interruption. The newest Our Sacred Honor project of FACE is to make them available digitally in the Libronix Digital Library System.
