God and Ronald Reagan by Paul Kengor
Long before George W. Bush's efforts to bring faith-based initiatives to the modern presidency, Ronald Reagan was using his own brand of Christianity to influence the course of world events. In this bestselling spiritual biography of our fortieth president, Paul Kengor presents a meticulously researched, fascinating account of Reagan's life as seen through the lens of his relationship to God.
An intensely private man, Reagan was relatively discreet about his personal faith. However, nothing more strongly clashed with his belief system than Soviet communism. To Reagan, the United States was a divinely ordained beacon of freedom, and Kengor argues that it was this conviction that compelled him to a series of challenges that would eventually bring down the Eastern Bloc. Combining groundbreaking research with fascinating storytelling, God and Ronald Reagan will forever change our understanding of one of the United States's most influential presidents.Paul Kengor, Ph.D. is an associate professor of political science at Grove City College.
