Reagan's God and Country: A President's Moral Compass: His Beliefs on God, Religious Freedom, the Sanctity of Life and MoreNot since Lincoln has a sitting president addressed spiritual issues as frequently as President Ronald Reagan. Most of Reagan's biographers, however, overlook his strong religious convictions, writing about them either sparingly or disparagingly. In "Reagan's God and Country", Tom Freiling sets the record straight by giving you portions of every meaningful address Reagan gave in his public life about God, religion and morality. You'll discover how Reagan's moral compass was guided by an enduring faith in God and an optimistic faith in his fellow man. This is the first book to look at Reagan's spiritual oratory. It's the Great Communicator at his best. |
