There is a wonderful book on Puritans and the new colonies (and modern America too) by Professor David Shi (of Davidson and Furman University) entitled "The Simple Life: Plain Living and High Thinking in American Culture." Together with the Bible, it is a flight instructor's manual for life. I highly recommend it.
