Abraham Lincoln is the most beloved of all U.S. presidents. He freed the slaves; gave the world some of its most beautiful phrases; and redefined the meaning of America. He did all of this with wisdom; compassion; and wit. Yet; throughout his life; Lincoln fought with God. In his early years in Illinois; he rejected even the existence of God and became the village atheist. In time; this changed but still he wrestled with the truth of the Bible; preachers; doctrines; the will of God; the providence of God; and then; finally; God’s purposes in the Civil War. Still; on the day he was shot; Lincoln said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior’s steps. What had happened? What was the journey that took Abraham Lincoln from outspoken atheist to a man who yearned to walk in the footsteps of Christ? In this thrilling journey through a largely unknown part of American history; New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield tells the richly textured story of Abraham Lincoln’s spiritual life and draws from it a meaning sure to inspire Americans today.

A Must Have Addition to Any LibraryBy alicia ibeyI was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the readability and historical accuracy of Michael Laramie ' s book; The European Invasion of North America. It is a snapshot in time: portrayed in the early American conflicts along Vermont ' s Champlain Valley.

It is full of history; yet; it reads like fiction. A positive addition to any history library or any 'curious to know' library. Well done !
