    About this audiobook

    More than any other world leader in recent times, George W. Bush is a man of faith...a conservative Christian who has brought the power of prayer and the search for God's will into the Oval Office. His faith has proven to be a bedrock of strength and resolve during two of the most tumultuous years in our nation's history. According to Newsweek, "this presidency is the most resolutely faith based in modern times. An enterprise founded, supported, and guided by trust in the temporal and spiritual power of God." David Aikman, skilled journalist and former senior correspondent for Time, pens this dramatic and gripping account of Bush's journey to faith. Based on interviews and behind-the-scenes stories, you'll learn how:
    • His life changed after a conversation with Billy Graham on the beach at Kennebunkport
    • He walked away from alcoholism toward a new destiny
    • The events following 9/11 caused many to view him as God's chosen man for this critical time in history
    • His decision to go to war with Iraq became the ultimate test of his faith

    A Man of Faith is an intimate look at how Bush's spiritual life has impacted his presidency, the nation, and the world.

      I am a huge George Bush fan, so that was not my issue. Admittedly, I am from the south but I had trouble understanding some of the words and frequently had
      to back up and listen a second time. There’s nothing technically wrong with the book (although I don’t understand why we delved into the spirituality of everyone back to George Washington at one point); I just didn’t enjoy it. That is rare for me.
