The Faith of Ronald Reagan Book Review

The Faith Of Ronald Reagan
by Mary Beth Brown

Thomas Nelson Publishing

My Review:

I was so happy to get this book for review because I have always had a fascination with Ronald Reagan. I grew up hearing my dad talk about what a great President he was, and that I should be paying attention to everything he was about.  Little did I know that as I got older and started voting myself, the ideals that Reagan stood for became those that I used when making my decisions.

This book goes much further than talking about Presidential decisions and such - it discusses in such detail about Ronald Reagans spiritual journey.  The depth of the stories in the book and realization that God really did make such a difference in his life AND his decisions as President.

The Faith of Ronald Reagan also includes wonderful writings from him that help you understand just how much his devotion to God helped him make those very important decisions. I really enjoyed the interviews with his family and friends as well.  These helped me realize that he really was a very special person.

On February 6th of this year, Ronald Reagan would have been 100 years old - that is so hard to believe.  The author, Mary Beth Brown, does an extraordinary job of honoring him.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and if you are thinking of a gift for Fathers Day, this would be a fantastic choice!
