"Americanizing" The Bible!

I'm kinda late on this one but I hope I'm not  the only one who find this Bible disturbing. The idea that the American Patriot's Bible intersects the teachings of the Bible with the history of the United States while applying it to today's culture is scary. 

The American Patriot Bible is not new there were controversy surrounding it when it was first published. And some Christians have spoken out and against the idea. After research and reading the idea that this Bible has reached the top 100 slot in Amazon's book list and #1 in the Bibles and Sacred Texts list is surprising.

How can we as  Americans read the Bible with the concept that it was written with only us in mind?  How dare us  be so arrogant in our thinking.  I believe the Bible can and do speak to people all over the world, not just Americans.
This extremely unique Bible shows how the history of the United States connects the people and events of the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible and includes a beautiful full-color family record section, memorable images from our nation’s history and hundreds of enlightening articles which complement the New King James Version Bible text.
