For centuries, boats have not only been utilized to move cargo from one port to another, but also to change the trajectory of the lives of oppressed people escaping to freedom. In a historical examination of the early beginnings of America and its efforts to establish a more perfect union, Dr. Howard Weems intertwines biblical principles with Ellen G. White’s prophetic perspectives while providing thought-provoking insight regarding five legendary boats: Noah’s Ark, Peter’s fishing boat, the Mayflower, the Desire, and the Morning Star. Dr. Weems relies on the history behind each of the vessels that played a pivotal role in God’s providential discourse to chronicle and explain the root cause of the development of oppression and the passing of laws that perpetuated it, and share a sweeping overview of those who value free will, explore the endurance of democracy, and examine the fragility of the United States Constitution. Vessels That Enabled examines the history of five legendary boats while offering new perspectives on freedom, liberty, justice, and whether democracy can survive in the future.
