The Inspired Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln – How Faith Shaped an American President and Changed the Course of a Nation

The Inspired Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln How Faith Shaped an American President and Changed the Course of a Nation

Not long after Lincoln's assassination, the debate began: Was Lincoln a committed Christian or a confirmed skeptic? Scholar Philip Ostergard provides the answer with a thorough study of the president's references to God, the Bible, and Christian principles in his letters and speeches. The Inspired Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln illustrates the depth of Lincoln's knowledge of Scripture; the Bible's influence on his character; and the development of his faith, particularly as he wrestled with the issue of slavery and led the nation through the tumultuous years of the Civil War. Readers will find this a fascinating and inspiring handbook of answers to the questions about one of our greatest presidents.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars AN OUTSTANDING BOOK ABOUT AN OUTSTANDING MAN!
This book was an refreshing, eye opening, outstanding presentation of the works of a very intelligent man with unwavering principle and character. About a man that grew in his love for God as he grew in seeking the right perspective on issues of life during a very tough time period for our nation, always seeking to do what was right with a true belief and frame of reference that "all men are created equal". Great book: revealing the true heart of a man dealing with tough issues with such wisdom and character! Glad I bought and read this book!!

4 Stars Faith of the greatest president this country or the world has ever known.
I only wish the politicians of today would follow the lead of a man as simple and great as Abraham Lincoln.
