George W. Bush on God and Country: The President Speaks Out about Faith, Principle, and Patriotism Book

Inspired by a discussion on Bush?s Christianity during a White House briefing after September 11, 2001, Allegiance Press editor Thomas Freiling decided to examine Bush?s faith in God. The result is George W. Bush on God and Country. During his research, Freiling discovered that media perception of Bush?s faith is just wrong. He writes "[Bush] goes to great lengths to define the limits of his public office, in terms of his faith-based principles. He uses the Bible and prayer to find comfort and help, not to condemn or discriminate. Most importantly, his religious beliefs are what drives his ?compassionate conservative? policies on issues like AIDS and his faith-based initiatives to help the poor and needy." Freiling believes that Bush is "a president who believes in the God of the Bible, and his son, Jesus Christ. He believes in the power prayer, and that all men are created equal by God. He believes that the Bible command us to love our neighbor. He believes that evil exists in the world, that freedom is our God-given right, and that as Americans we have a duty to protect the rights of all people to be free." For an in depth understanding of Bush?s policies decisions, his vision of America, and the role God plays in his life, one need only read George W. Bush on God and Country.Read More
