May
that Infinite Power which rules the destinies of the universe
lead our councils
- Thomas Jefferson
The introduction
of Our Presidents & Their Prayers reminds us
of how often we take for granted that our country was born
of a religious people. They were future American with faith
in God. They knew in their spirit He would guide them in creating
and running this new land. In Our Presidents & Their
Prayers, Senator Paul goes through various presidents
and how their faith not only carried them through their time
in the White House, but how freely they spoke and wrote about
it.
With
Our Presidents & Their Prayers, Rand Paul reminds
us that God and Faith had a hand in creating the United States,
and we should not forget it or let anyone try to rewrite our
history. We also learn Abe Lincoln wasn't the only president
against slavery. John Adams lived his faith and came out against
slavery in the early years. Lincoln openly admitted there
was a God, he also said Slavery was wrong, and prophesied
the storm coming (civil war). The book reminds us of those
with military services, the various religious denominations,
important historical moments for some and presidential accomplishments
for others. From Washington to Obama, Rand Paul shares the
religious history of our US presidents. Rand Paul also shares
quite a bit about himself and his family. It's a fascinating
book. It's the perfect gift for the history buff and/or Christians
in your family. The audio version includes a PDF of pictures.
Rand
Paul narrates the audio version with conviction in his voice.
It's a fascinating listen that should be included in History
classes across the US.
