Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-12 00:00:00 Alexander Carey What an interesting read! The author did a great job staying focused on his goal of describing the faith of former President George W Bush and not getting lost in the various other events surrounding the man and his family. Like many, his journey to deep convictions wasn't straight or easy, but the path led him to a steadfastness that was quite evident in the days after 9/11/01. He is a complex man, far more than some want to give him credit for, and Stephen Mansfield points this out well. This is the book to read if you want to gain insight into what George W Bush believes and why, but not so much a strict biography of the man's life.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-08 00:00:00 Ty Tacner Not a bad book. It's a "semi-biographical work, dropping back and looking a bit at earlier generations of the Bush family, the effect on Mr. Bush and his faith. The book was written while Mr. Bush was still in office and attempted to lay out how the President could live with God as the center of his life while still not violating the freedom of religion of this country. The most interesting thing for me here is the fact that no one seems to be able to shake their "preconceived ideas" of Mr. Bush even when reading a book like this. The press was so anti-Bush while he was in office not even pretending to be unbiased in the end that it bleeds over into the views I've seen of this book. Overall, it's not a bad read and falls on the middle as a biography, doing a fair job of relating The former president's story of faith.
