This is a mission that has led me to my current position. I hope my tenure is in response to a good purpose, so I must fully rely on that God who has always guarded and blessed me. — George W. Bush
Whether you agree with Bush’s political views and religious stance, this book will help you understand this globally most powerful person today. The uniqueness of President Bush does not lie in his openly discussing personal rebirth and spiritual life, nor does it lie in his frequent mention of faith in public settings. Rather, it lies in the fact that while Americans have grown accustomed to leaders’ hypocritical religious rhetoric, Bush genuinely believed in the faith he publicly discussed and integrated it with public policy in his governance.
This book provides a detailed account of how the 43rd President of the United States infused his personal faith into the details of his daily life. From his morning devotions to his frequent use of biblical verses in speeches, you will see in this book how the President led his actions and direction through faith. We also discover how Bush, in the 1980s, experienced business failures, marriage crises, and alcoholism, which led him to become a person of faith.
Looking back at Bush’s presidential campaign, the then Governor of Texas welcomed Christian leaders to pray for his future and declared himself called to a higher office. From 9/11 to the Iraq War, President Bush learned to live each day with the help of faith, including in both his public and private lives.
Whether you agree with Bush’s political or religious positions, after reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of this globally most powerful person today.
