School to Host Book Premier & Signing Dec. 10th

The Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades will host bestselling author and historian, Dr. Peter A. Lillback for the official release and signing of his newest book, Wall of Misconception: Does the Separation of Church and State Mean the Separation of God and Government?, on Monday, December 10 at 6:30 p.m.  Dr. Lillback’s book counters the claims that Christianity must only reside in the walls of the church by pointing to the intentions and actions of America’s Founding Fathers, and demonstrates that the U.S. Constitution does not contain the words “wall of separation” or “separation of church and state” anywhere in the entire document.  The Providence Forum’s near-exact replica of the Liberty Bell will also be on display and rung.

This program will take place on Monday, December 10, 2007 at 6:30 p.m.  Admission is free, but reservations are required and can be made by calling 610-566-1776.

Dr. Peter A. Lillback, author of the best-selling George Washington’s Sacred Fire, is the president of The Providence Forum, a non-profit organization committed to preserve, defend, and advance the faith and values of our nation’s founding.  Lillback also serves as senior pastor of Proclamation Presbyterian Church in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and as president of Westminster Theological Seminary, where he is also Professor of Historical Theology. Previously, he served as Professor of Church History at Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia.  Lillback is the voice of “Proclaiming The Word,” a daily syndicated radio program, as well as “The Proclamation Worship Hour.”  Dr. Lillback received a Ph.D. from Westminster Theological Seminary.  He is the author of several books including the forthcoming Lessons on Liberty – A Primer For Young Patriots, and Proclaim Liberty: A Broken Bell Rings Freedom to the World.

A book sale and signing will follow the program.
