God and Ronald Reagan

A Spiritual Life

De: Paul Kengor

Narrado por: Bob Souer

Ronald Reagan is hailed today for a presidency that restored optimism to America, engendered years of economic prosperity, and helped bring about the fall of the Soviet Union. Yet until now little attention has been paid to the role Reagan's personal spirituality played in his political career, shaping his ideas, bolstering his resolve, and ultimately compelling him to confront the brutal - and, not coincidentally, atheistic - Soviet empire.

In this groundbreaking book, political historian Paul Kengor draws upon Reagan's legacy of speeches and correspondence, and the memories of those who knew him well, to reveal a man whose Christian faith remained deep and consistent throughout his more than six decades in public life. Raised in the Disciples of Christ Church by a devout mother with a passionate missionary streak, Reagan embraced the church after reading a Christian novel at the age of 11. A devoted Sunday-school teacher, he absorbed the church's model of "practical Christianity" and strived to achieve it in every stage of his life.

Depth of info

Good for anyone who does their homework to seek the truth of Reagan as a man of faith.

Amazing. A LOT of history I was unaware of.

Really interesting book. I can't believe this was on the "free rack". Very inspiring as a religious viewpoint. Super interesting from a historical viewpoint. There was a lot of world history going on during that era. This book captures it wonderfully.

Color in the lines to this man! Great book

Was great learning about the how, what, and why of his spiritual foundation. Great book, well written and well read. Will be getting another book by this author right now to finalize my Reagan readings, time for ‘A Pope and a President’

A Man of God; A Man for America

What a testimony to the Christian life and Godly leadership! We need more men like Ronald Reagan leading our country.

The wealth of information due to diligent research & verifiable sources.

Loved learning about this key element of our great President’s life & exactly how influential he & his faith were to our modern times & nation!!

Outstanding information on God Servant for peace

Excellently documented story and told about an elected servant of peace for the world sent by God

A great man and President

I was born in 1983 and was pleased to find out that year was deemed the year of the Bible by then President Reagan. What great charisma and focus he had. We need more young people to aspire in Faith and Trust in God’s Providence and Grace in our lives and in this Nation.

Reagan

I read the book several years back this time I listened to it and “wow” it was even better the second time. America needs Reagan again; we can hope and pray that there are enough believers left that we’ll get one.
