The Faith of Ronald Regan by Mary Beth Brown
I was provided this book free from the publisher through http://booksneeze.com/ to review. I went into this book with and open mind. This is a non fiction book. I was just in elementary school when President Ronald W. Reagan took office. My memories of him were from his speech of "Tear down this wall!" I knew that my parents liked him so that is why I was excited to read this book. I learned so much from this book. I learned about history. The history of what happened the day he was shot and that he prayed for and forgave the man who shot him the day of the shooting before he and his aids went themselves into surgery. What has inspired me is to see that a lot of this book the author uses his own words. She has done a good job to research actual words from speeches, letters interviews and his biography that he wrote. She has focused on the matter of his strong faith. This I found refreshing. I learned about faith. This president had an unshakeable faith and prayer life that we all can learn from. I learned about parenting. What I found in this book that will stay with me is that being a mother is a powerful thing. At times I felt this book was more about his mother Nelle. She and her faith was the reason her son was what I believe to be one of the most loved president since Franklin D. Roosevelt or Abe Lincoln. I enjoyed this book very much. I give it 4 stars out 5.
