No one man or woman has ever been in a position to see the presidents, and the presidency, so intimately, over so many years. They called him in for photo opportunities. They called for comfort. They asked about death and salvation; about sin and forgiveness.
At a time when the nation is increasingly split over the place of religion in public life, THE PREACHER AND THE PRESIDENTS reveals how the world's most powerful men and world's most famous evangelist, Billy Graham, knit faith and politics together.
The authors offer a chronological look at the Reverend Billy Graham's relationship with every president from Truman through Bush II. L.J. Ganser never loses his enthusiasm in his reading of the historical facts and anecdotes. He offers a consistent, clear Southern lilt when speaking for Graham, who has remained apolitical through the years. Graham's focus on his faith carries through as listeners learn how he stayed true in the face of a president who tried to use him for political purposes and another who didn't get along well with him. (One president had even sent him contributions as a boy.) Listeners will feel at ease as Ganser conveys the trust of the leaders in the preacher and the dignity of the reverend himself. M.B.
