    About this audiobook

    In this powerful and personal New York Times bestseller, President Jimmy Carter contemplates how faith has sustained him in happiness and disappointment and considers how we may find it in our own lives.

    All his life, President Jimmy Carter has been a courageous exemplar of faith. Now he shares the lessons he learned. He writes, “The issue of faith arises in almost every area of human existence, so it is important to understand its multiple meanings. In this book, my primary goal is to explore the broader meaning of faith, its far-reaching effect on our lives, and its relationship to past, present, and future events in America and around the world. The religious aspects of faith are also covered, since this is how the word is most often used, and I have included a description of the ways my faith has guided and sustained me, as well as how it has challenged and driven me to seek a closer and better relationship with people and with God.”

    Quoting eminent Protestant theologians, in Faith President Carter describes his belief in religious freedom, moral politics, and the place of prayer in his daily life. He examines faith’s many meanings, he describes how to accept it, live it, how to doubt and find faith again. This is a serious and moving reflection from one of America’s most admired and respected citizens.

      5606. Faith A Journey for All, by Jimmy Carter (read 6 Jan 2019) This book, published in 2018, is Carter's 30th published book. I have read three others of his: Why Not the Best? (on 18 Jan 1976), An Hour Before Daylight (on 11 Mar 2001), and Turning Point (on 19 Aug 2009).. This book, on his personal faith and how he feels all should seek and have such faith, shows he is a serious and committed Protestant. The later chapters tell of his life and efforts to live his faith and are of considerable interest and I found them moving and inspiring. While the current president is never named in this 2018 book it is obvious there is much difference between the present holder of the presidential office and Jimmy--and Jimmy is clearly the more admirable person and president.
    • 3/5
      It was definitely not an earth shattering book, but I did learn more about Jimmy Carter and his life outside of politics. Wasn't horrible but I wouldn't recommend the book.
