According to recent opinion polls, Ronald Reagan is the most popular of modern presidents, and yet to most biographers the man is still an enigma. This is because, as Brown explains, no one has ever focused on this great man's faith. This book explores the life and personality of Ronald Reagan by focusing on his deep-felt Christian beliefs and showing how faith guided him along his distinguished career and led him to his unprecedented success. With the support of Ronald Reagan's own words and writings and first-hand interviews of Ronald Reagan's family, friends, and co-workers, Brown weaves a magnificent story of Reagan's strong devotion to God that will not only inspire Christians to enter public service and allow their faith to motivate all their actions but also help point others to the Cross of Jesus Christ-a cause that was near and dear to President Reagan's heart.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Reader Chris Fabry fully captures the devotional tone intended by the author. Mary Beth Brown, who reads the preface, admits that her book is not a scholarly work on Reagan's Christian faith; rather, its aim is to inspire people about Christianity. The book focuses on Reagan's relationships with his wife, his children, his parents, and other members of his family, and the place of his faith in those relationships. It allows readers to see Reagan not simply as a politician, but as a husband, father, and friend. As a bonus for Reagan fans, this audiobook contains the eulogies of Margaret Thatcher, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and the Reagan children delivered at Reagan's memorial service. M.L.C. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Hand of Providence: The Strong and Quiet Faith of Ronald Reagan (Hardcover)
Fantastic book. I received it as a gift. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. It surveys the life of Reagan and how God was preparing him for a specific purpose. I have always been a Reagan fan, but this book deppened my admiration even more.

In light of Reagan's Death,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hand of Providence: The Strong and Quiet Faith of Ronald Reagan (Hardcover)
When President Reagan died I felt that I wanted know more about his faith and family. This book gave me a rare peek into the very private life of President and Mrs. Reagan. It answered my questions, like if he has a strong faith in God why didn't he go to church. I highly recommend this book. It is a quick and easy read and highly informative. Michael Reagan wrote the forward, and he amazed me with his hearty endorsement of the book's conclusions. This book has even helped me sort out my own beliefs.

This is a book with lots of heart and soul, but the research is also first rate. I highly recommend for Reagan fans and those interested in the power of God and inspiration.
