The Faith of George W. Bush (Electronic book text)

"The first book to explore the religious ideals that drive the policies and politics of Bush as president and that have privately shaped Bush as a man. More than any other president in recent years, George W. Bush's presidency is ""faith based."" His life demonstrates the power of faith to create change, to build a family and political career, and to shape the destiny of a nation with his leadership. Discover how the 43rd president of the United States interjects his faith and belief in God into every detail of his life. From his devotional time alone each morning to his frequent incorporation of Scripture into his speeches, you will learn how the president relies upon his faith to direct his actions and goals. Find out how a business failing, marriage difficulties, and a growing dependence on alcohol in the 1980s prompted Bush to become a man of faith. And look back at Bush's presidential campaign, when the then-Texas governor welcomed leading ministers to pray for his future, telling them that he had been ""called"" to seek higher office. From the tragedy of September 11th to the present-day conflict in Iraq, President Bush has learned to use his personal faith to help him live his life-both in office and in private. This book will inspire others to do the same."
