God And George W. Bush: A Spiritual Life by Paul Kengor

George W. Bush has brought the question of religion back into American political life in a way that it has not been for decades. From the 2000 election through the challenges America has faced in the wake of September 11, Bush's personal faith -- and his conviction about the importance of religion in our national life -- have won him lasting admiration from the right, while attracting fury and scorn from the left.

Now presidential scholar Paul Kengor, the author of the acclaimed God and Ronald Reagan, reconstructs the spiritual journey that carried George W. Bush to the White House -- from the death of his sister, which helped to shape his character, to the conversion experience that changed his life. Matching detailed new research with thoughtful analysis, God and George W. Bush is the definitive look at the spiritual life of this American president.

Dr. Paul Kengor is a political science professor and the executive director of Grove City College's Center for Vision and Values. Kengor is a well-known Ronald Reagan expert around the world. Kengor is well-known in the United States for his work on the president. He is one of a small group of presidential experts invited to participate in C-SPAN's prestigious presidential rankings. Kengor, a native of Western Pennsylvania, now lives in Grove City, Pennsylvania, with his wife and seven children.
