God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life by Paul Kengor, Ph.D. is the first serious, comprehensive examination of Ronald Reagan’s religious faith. In this spiritual biography, Kengor examines Reagan’s vision of America as both a divinely ordained beacon of freedom and a nation chosen to place a stake in the future of communism. From his childhood in Dixon, Illinois to his later years as President of the United States, Ronald Reagan’s religious faith was the single most consistent feature of his life. In God and Ronald Reagan, Kengor blends groundbreaking research and fascinating storytelling into a book that will forever change our understanding of one of the most influential presidents in history.
