About this audiobook

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.

    5/5
    Amazing story. The authors were somehow able to foster respect for Billy Graham by displaying his brokenness. Authors also seem to grasp the issues so many people in the Christian community have with Graham, and answer the charges, not with didactic prose, but through engaging and relevant stories.

    unbelievably good. This book sits at the corner of faith, forgiveness, life, and politics and does so beautifully.

    The authors trace the evolution of the current religiopolitical discourse in the United States by tracing the relationship of one man, Billy Graham, to the president's stretching in a line from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush. The biggest weakness of this book is the reverence with which the authors treat their subject, accepting his interpretation fo events at face level even when there is good evidence to indicate a reason for skepticism. For that reason, this book comes off vaguely like a hagiography.
