THIS BONUS EDITION INCLUDES: Two landmark addresses by author, Dr. W. Cleon Skousen never before offered in print, along with the full text of US Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
The Five Thousand Year Leap will take you by the hand as you discover the ideals of the Founding Fathers and their 28 principles for success. The values explored in detail by Dr. Skousen range from the Founder's prerequisite that the Constitution was designed for a moral people, to a government empowered by the people with checks and balances, along with an understanding of the critical nature of fiscal responsibility and family values. This book sums up the secrets to what James Madison called a miracle.
About The Author: W. Cleon Skousen was a world renowned teacher, lecturer and scholar for more than 60 years. Born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada on January 20, 1913, Dr. Skousen?s growing up years were spent in Canada, Mexico, and California.
He attended college at the San Bernardino Junior College where he was elected Student Body President. In 1934 he went to law school at George Washington University in Washington DC, where he earned his Juris Doctorate and was admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia. At this same time he was employed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Dr. Skousen married Jewel Pitcher of San Bernardino, California, in August 1936. During their 69 years of marriage, they raised eight children and became the grandparents of 50 grandchildren and more than 90 great-grandchildren.
In 1972 Dr. Skousen organized a non-profit educational foundation named "The Freemen Institute." Later changed to "The National Center for Constitutional Studies" (NCCS), Dr. Skousen and his staff became the nation's leading organization in teaching students and legislators seminars on the Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution. His books "The Making of America" and "The 5,000 Year Leap" have been used nation-wide to educate students on the original intent of the Founding Fathers.
His many books and recordings addressed diverse subjects ranging from the raising of boys, to the principles of good government, to prophetic history. Dr. Skousen accumulated a wealth of knowledge and optimism - information that he called the "diamond dust" of exciting history, natural law and eternal principles of hope. These principles he painstakingly distilled into the pages of over 40 books and pamphlets, to be shared in an exciting and inspirational manner. This is what made him so popular with audiences of millions around the world.

 The 5000 Year Leap August 29, 2010
Big John
The endorsements on the back cover, encourage this book to be included in both high school and college cirriculum. It's an eye opener to anyone, even those, like me, that had studied US History in high school and minored in US History in college. This book gives great insight into the founding fathers, their intent in writing the consitution and other historical documents and puts in perspective what the intended role of our congressional, juditial and presidential leadership was.
The author points out that we have lost our way. I'm sure some will read this a politically biased but I think he did a wonderful job of stating historical facts and has the research documented to back it up.
Wonderful, educational, inspiring and convicting. A read required by every citizen wether born here or naturalized!!

I read this as a young man. I was a mormon growing up and since Skousen was Mormon too I just ate up his ideas. There is a lot of mormon doctrine woven in the text. But the problem with the book is that he often exaggerates and cherry picks the data to support his preconceived ideas. I think it is fine to read but make sure you check the source for accuracy.

Simple, yet profound chapters; required reading for middle-schoolers on up. Get a grip on what America is all about so you are an informed, mature citizen.
