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.
