Bob carried the “nuclear football”—the American nuclear codes—and could not let Ford out of his sight. This nerve-wracking job led to a deep friendship with the First Family and gave Bob an unparalleled view of Ford’s historic and unusual presidency. In his memoir, Inside the President’s Team, Bob takes readers into the White House and the Ford home to show the administration and the couple as few others could see them.   Bob gives new insights into why Ford decided to pardon Nixon and how he responded to criticism of it; how Ford chose his own vice president (and another for his run in 1976); and what he did with potentially difficult members of the former administration, such as Al Haig and the now-infamous Michael Flynn. Bob provides a front-row view of Ford’s meeting with Leonid Brezhnev in Russia during their famous summit on arms control, and he shows how abandoning our ally South Vietnam put a greater strain on Ford than deciding whether to pardon his predecessor.   Bob reveals what happened during the two assassination attempts and reveals the flawed inner workings of the 1976 campaign. Meanwhile, he became so close to the family that he took part in Betty Ford’s intervention and recalls scenes that show Ford to be, as Bob describes him, “the most decent, honorable, trustworthy person I ever met.”   Ford's legacy as a reconciler and a healer of a deeply divided America during a time of strife comes alive in Inside the President's Team, and it is a celebration of the impact of living a life of service.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50982833815825,"sku":"NGR9781639368075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041690190097,"sku":"NIN9781639368075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51687882391825,"sku":"CIN1639368078G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52654218215697,"sku":"NLS9781639368075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1639368078.jpg?v=1751444140"},{"product_id":"awestruck-how-great-is-your-god-book-bob-barrett-9781545675076","title":"Awestruck!

Faithful Living in an Uncertain World","description":"As we struggle with these uncertain times, where stability and security seem so elusive, we must remember God has a plan for us. He wants us to live our lives with confidence, trusting in Him. The problem we face is we may not always know how to live faithfully to what God has planned for us, especially when we face strife and difficulties. Author Bob Barrett has found that Psalm 112 describes a righteous person of God and timeless principles on which to build a solid and faithful life. Praise the Lord, Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. This is the first verse in Psalm 112, a passage which spoke to Bob and led him to write Steadfast  Faithful Living in an Uncertain World. It was his concern over the divisions and strife in society, and the turbulent times in which we live, that led him to God's Word. God directed him to Psalm 112, and Bob found in each verse of this Psalm a revealing principle of living a faithful life, and now he shares them with you. Join Bob as he explores these principles. Discover how you can continue to or find your way to walking strongly on the path the Lord has chosen for you. These principles can help all to focus on God's priorities and build a rock-solid life in faith, no matter your circumstances. Husband and father, Bob has served as a Christian teacher and lay leader for more than thirty years. He is a business executive with a thirty-six-year career in a Fortune 200 company, now acting as the Vice President of Finance at Florida Power \u0026amp; Light. Bob also serves as a board member at The Lord's Place in West Palm Beach, Florida.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53252235526417,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53252235919633,"sku":"NIN9781545647271","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781545647271.jpg?v=1773599402"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-bob-barrett.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
