I am a 40-something wife and mother of four, endeavoring to love the Lord Jesus with all my heart, soul, strength, and mind. When I'm not writing about faith and politics, I love to hike, ski, garden, and watch movies with my family and French bulldog. My background is in Finance and I served as a White House intern during college.
Some books have the power to change the course of your life and thinking, and this was one of those for me. Washington was a complex, complicated, and deeply flawed man... a human being, just like the rest of us. But for some reason, God used him greatly. Reading through Washington's life became a spiritual journey for me. It challenged my views of suffering, perseverance, friendship, marriage, and patriotism. It revealed my weakness or apathy towards these things. And it made me want to change. The author took a very measured and secular approach to telling Washington's life, but there was no denying God's hand on him or our country. God cares and He's working on something, even in the midst of unspeakable suffering and loss. Suffering that we just can't and don't understand in our culture today. I couldn't recommend this book more highly!
