David McCullough, author of several historical works, has made history readable, fun to read, memorable, and, more importantly, engaging. He brings a light hearted but serious perspective to history along with it's importance on the present and help for any future. Morley Safer draws much of this out of McCullough through the two 2012 interview segments, keeping viewers and listeners engaged beyond the interview and vividly envisioning the present through the lens of time.

History is for real life and not for a grade or factual luxury of a few. Homes and classrooms are not to be dry and dreary dungeons of facts but inspirational to see beyond ourselves to the truths of time. More so, to see the greatest truth for all time -- the gospel of Christ -- being the epicenter of all life and subjects such as history. Sacrifice and passion will then flow forth from real humans who have learned history's wisdom and understanding as tools to love the world for God's glory.

Be encouraged. Be passionate. Learn. Teach. Live!
