4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely recommended, October 12, 2008

This review is from: The Faith of America's Presidents (Hardcover)

This is a book you really ought to have on your bookshelf. It was published in 2007, so the first president in the chapters that work their way backward in time is George W. Bush. The chapters are mostly short, ranging from three to over twenty pages, depending upon the president and his spiritual beliefs and his life experiences. There are extensive bibliographies at the close of each chapter as well.

I found this book fascinating, and it is one that I will return to again and again. It's easy to pluck it off the shelf and read about just one man who led our nation (although most often reading one will lead to two and then three).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Historical Study of the Faith of American Presidents, October 19, 2008

By 

W. Terry Whalin "Publisher/ Editor / Writer" (Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Faith of America's Presidents (Hardcover)

What type of faith in God does it take to lead the United States of America? While every president of the United States is a "Christian?" How does their Christianity play out in the historical record and against the various central doctrines of orthodox Christianity? Daniel J. Mount has provided a remarkable effort in THE FAITH OF AMERICA'S PRESIDENTS.

Starting with George Walker Bush, the reader learns detailed and documented background of each president and their faith. Each entry is thoroughly footnoted and documented.

This book makes a lasting contribution to the historical record of American Presidents and I recommend it.
