    About this audiobook

    When Winston Churchill was a boy of sixteen, he already had a vision for his purpose in life. "This country will be subjected somehow to a tremendous invasion . . . I shall be in command of the defences of London . . . it will fall to me to save the Capital, to save the Empire."

    It was a most unlikely prediction. Perceived as a failure for much of his life, Churchill was the last person anyone would have expected to rise to national prominence as prime minister and influence the fate of the world during World War II. But Churchill persevered, on a mission to achieve his purpose. God and Churchill tells the remarkable story of how one man, armed with belief in his divine destiny, embarked on a course to save Christian civilization when Adolf Hitler and the forces of evil stood opposed. It traces the personal, political, and spiritual path of one of history's greatest leaders and offers hope for our own violent and troubled times.

      While I found this an interesting book, it failed to live up to either its title or subtitle. This is primarily a book about religion and philosophy and how Churchill and the Nazis were influenced by their respective beliefs. The questions raised are worthwhile studying but are more philosophical than historical. If you are looking to study how religion and philosophy affected the conduct of the Second World War this is a worthwhile read. If you are looking for a biographical study of Churchill, you will find this work inadequate.
