Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this favorable look at the politics and faith of the nation's current president, Mansfield, who has penned several historical biographies with faith emphases, examines Bush's spiritual journey and discusses how it shapes his administration. Although he writes that Bush's faith has waxed and waned over the years, Bush "is among a small number of American presidents to have undergone a profound religious transformation as an adult... he came to the presidency, then, with the zeal of the newly converted." To understand the president's brand of faith, Mansfield traces his family legacy, his boyhood in Midland, Tex., his playboy years and his lifelong love affair with baseball. Bush's marriage to Laura helped stabilize him spiritually, and Mansfield details later encounters with evangelists Arthur Blessit and Billy Graham that he believes were pivotal in Bush's spiritual formation. He also shows the role of Bush's Christianity in running for various offices, implementing faith-based initiatives and responding to 9/11 and war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Throughout the book, Mansfield offers his own interpretations about events in writing that is often rich and specific in detail. Noticeably absent is commentary on Bush's controversial environmental policies and how his faith has-or has not-informed them. But Mansfield is correct when he writes that "whatever else the presidency of George W. Bush imprints on American history, it will at the least have granted the nation an opportunity to rethink the role of religion in its public life."

From AudioFile
Great writing and a balanced reading propel the life story of one of our most controversial presidents. Even Bush-bashers will be riveted to their audio players as the narrative shoots holes in the oversimplified view of Bush his detractors like to portray. Is he a Christian or a champion of the "three great religions"? Is he the demon of gay and minority causes or the president with many such appointees in Cabinet and diplomatic positions? The sections on Bush's early business and political life are illuminating. While the unflattering episodes are described minimally, this presentation invites a calmer consideration of Bush's life than a tell-all approach would allow. A biography that people of all political persuasions will enjoy. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Not hard-hitting, but definitely uplifting, March 19, 2004
By 	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Faith of George W. Bush (Hardcover)
I am tempted to say that this book is really two books rolled into one, but that's not really true. To look at the faith of President George W. Bush, author and historian Stephen Mansfield had to look at his life. He follows George W. from his initial christening in the Episcopal Church, through his dissolute and aimless youth, and on to his spiritual awakening in his middle years, finally ending up in his application of his faith to his role as President of the United States.

Now, in many ways it is fair to say that this is a sympathetic book to Bush. The author does not delve deeply into Bush's drinking problems or his relationship with his family. But, that said, he does weave a fascinating story that shows the spiritual evolution of George Bush.

Like many Christians, George Bush was born into a Christian home. And, his relationship with God was not one of a sudden and profound conversion, but was one of losing and refinding it, of stepping away from simple family-religion, and into a personal walk with God. So, if you are looking for a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred investigation of George W. Bush's faith, then this book is not for you. But, if you are interested in a straightforward and uplifting look at a man's faith, then you will enjoy this book - as I did. I highly recommend this book.

The TRUTH About George W. Bush, November 5, 2003
By 	K. Hartman (Lake Mary, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Faith of George W. Bush (Hardcover)
With all of the negative books about George W. Bush in the market, it is about time that someone has the courage to write an unbiased book about our president and his faith. As an Christian independent with conservative leanings, it has helped me see how the president's policies have been influenced by his relationship with God. And as someone whose past has not always followed God's path, I can relate to the president's sometimes checkered past. The engaging, narrative writing style is easy to read.
I let my father-in-law, a long-time labor Democrat read the book, and he said he had gained a newfound respect for the president. I hope the same will be said for other Christians who read this book with an open mind.

LOVE OF MONEY IS NOT PART OF THE GOSPEL, December 28, 2005
By 	get real - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Faith of George W. Bush (Hardcover)
bUT SO MANY WHO WRONGLY THINK THEY ARE CHRISTIANS DO EMBRACE SELFISHNESS ABOVE ALL ELSE. Bush's presidency has nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus' gospel tells us to care for the poor, disdain wealth, and prefer the poor and miserable to the wealthy and selfish. All these are the opposite of Bush's programs, which are aimed at increasing the wealth of the wealthiest two percent, who got 53 per cent of the tax cuts, big pharma (no bulk purchasing for seniors on Medicaid), and big oil (billions in tax breaks for the most profitable industry in the United States). And of course Bush would like to repeal the estate tax which impacts only the wealthiest two percent. Bush's tools on BOT radio somehow also manage to tie this in with the gospel of Jesus---but love of wealth is something Jesus emphatically preached against.

Many who imagine they are Christians find Jesus' views unpleasant, so they disregard them, preferring the gospel of selfishness, which advocates puttng one's economic well being above helping others. Sadly, they apparently have never read the gospels or willfully deny their content.
