Abraham Lincoln: A Man of Faith and Courage

Abraham Lincoln has had more books written about him than all our nation’s presidents put together, but little has been written about his spirituality and his religious views. Gleaned from over 10 years of study, historian Joe Wheeler has written an insightful and immensely readable book on Lincoln’s attitudes toward religion, God and faith. Skillfully weaving his own narrative with quotes from Lincoln and poignant excerpts from other Lincoln biographers, Wheeler brings a refreshingly friendly rendition of Lincoln’s life and faith. With photographs and rare etchings, this unique volume offers a fascinating view of Lincoln’s spirituality and shows how he may have been one of the most faith-filled presidents our nation has known.
