The Forgotten George Washington Bible

It’s time to reopen the files. Because if the truth about George Washington can be buried . . . so can the truth about America itself.

The 1792 edition of Brown’s Bible, retitled for modern readers as The Forgotten George Washington Bible, prominently included President George Washington as the first of 1,279 “subscribers” and had a great impact on our nation in its early years.

In addition to the full and original KJV text of the Brown’s Self-Interpreting Family Bible of 1792, this beautiful facsimile Bible includes an illustrated new prologue detailing the fascinating and inspiring spiritual journey of George Washington, the genesis of this historically significant publication, and more.

Features include:

• Insightful mini biographies of both Washington and Brown
• Jefferson’s handwritten 168 words against slavery (which were deleted from the final version of the Declaration of Independence)
• Documentation of Washington’s firm belief in God the Creator, his creation, and the reality of both the ark and Noah
• Archbishop James Ussher’s chronology dating is present on every page in the 1792 Bible, making it much easier to understand where every passage fits in the timeline of Bible history.
• How a call to fasting and prayer by the extremely thankful Washington led to America’s first national Thanksgiving celebration (and was later the basis for Lincoln’s proclamation)
• Two-page ad for the Self-Interpreting Bible that appeared—along with the first public printing of the US Constitution—in the 1789 Acts of Congress
• The doctrine behind the notes of Brown’s Self-Interpreting Bible, silently endorsed by Washington’s prominent subscription
• The amazing true story of Jacob Brush, the soldier & horse-preacher evangelist who was the original owner of the facsimile copy digitized for this work
• Proof that Washington was not a deist, but rather a self-described Christian
• The account of God’s miraculous preservation of young Washington in the devastating Battle at Monongahela
• How the first-ever edition of the Self-Interpreting Bible came about . . . in Scotland
• An appendix section with ideas of how to use this book/Bible with students
• The government’s endorsement of the massive 1792 publication
• How the Self-Interpreting Bible disproves the controversial modern interpretation of the “separation of Church and state”
• Family Tree Chart (Bonus PDF download provided on this page to print and practice writing.)
• And more!

A Note from the Author

George Washington—America’s most beloved founding father, revolutionary general, first president, and in many ways, our first superhero. But while his stone face still watches over Mount Rushmore and his name graces monuments and cities, his real legacy—the full truth of the man—is quietly and systematically being buried. . . .

How many public-school history teachers have taught their students the fact that Washington used his final will to soon free every enslaved person he legally could? Or that he was the first recorded subscriber to a massive study Bible with an incredibly patriotic illustration that ties Scripture directly to the U.S. Constitution? Or that a page from President Washington’s own copy of that Bible was given by the Washington family to a “Yankee schoolteacher” so it could be buried in the cornerstone of the Washington Monument, 21 feet beneath that towering memorial. A silent witness to the faith that shaped our nation.

How many teachers know that Washington did not identify as a deist, but called himself a Christian?

These and countless other truths are being airbrushed out of the American story. Why? They don’t fit the new narrative. They point to faith, virtue, growth, and personal sacrifice—the kind of legacy that inspires, convicts, and challenges the cultural status quo. . . .

It’s time to reopen the files. Because if the truth about George Washington can be buried . . . so can the truth about America itself.
