God And George W. Bush: A Spiritual Life

Presidential scholar Kengor reconstructs the spiritual journey that carried George W. Bush to the White House--from the formative tragedy of his youth (the death of his sister) through the conversion experienced that changed his life and down to the ways his faith affected his reactions to 9/11 and the prosecution of the war on terror.

Paul Kengor, Ph.D., is a professor of political science at Grove City College
