About this ebook

“Offers some Bush family history, examines his wayward years and details Bush’s transformation from churchgoer to a Christian who internalized his faith.” —Publishers Weekly

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 magazine, “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 magazine, 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 . . . an intimate look at how Bush’s spiritual life has impacted his presidency, the nation, and the world.
