"How strange is it, really, in the annals of most known individuals experience, to take pleasure from the blessing of living free?" The answer may astonish you. In The Miracle of Independence, Chris and Ted Stewart make a solid case that fewer than five percent of most people who have ever lived on the Earth have lived under conditions that we could consider "free". Where did freedom come from, and how are we luckily enough to see it in our day? "A deeper look at the individuals record," write the writers, "reveals some critical events, clear forks in the road leading to completely different outcomes, that resulted in this remarkable period where we live." They identify and discuss seven decisive tipping points:
- The beat of the Assyrians in their search to destroy the kingdom of Judah
- The triumph of the Greeks on the Persians at Thermopylae and Salamis
- Roman Emperor Constantine's alteration to Christianity
- The beat of the armies of Islam at Poitiers
- The inability of the Mongols in their work to conquer Europe
- The finding of the New World
- The Battle of Britain in World Battle II
