The Faith of George W. Bush

Description:

In this study of the unique role that religion plays in George W. Bush's life and presidency, author Mansfield looks at how Bush credits his faith for bringing him through several life crises, and the role that faith plays in his daily life. It also surveys some of the policies of his administration, such as faith-based initiatives and the overt appeals to the religious community--and his statements that he was "called" to the office. This is a relatively pro-Bush inquiry that traces the growth and strengthening of faith in a man in a unique position of influence.
