Spectacular, inspiring, encouraging – that is how I would describe this book. Mary Beth Brown has done a superb job sharing about the faith of this beloved president.
I was born during Reagan’s presidency and sadly I don’t remember much about that crucial period in our country’s history. It is only recently that I have taken a deeper interest in politics and have come to realize what an impact he had on this country. I always knew that he was a great president, but I absolutely fell in love with him in this book.
I was so inspired and encouraged by the first two chapters where we learn of Reagan’s mother, Nelle, and the impact that she had on her son’s life – the way that she taught him of her faith. I just loved reading about the mother that she was to this great man. The author really wove the character and personality of Nelle Reagan into President Reagan’s life story. Loved it.
I fell in love with this President who said that knowing God was more than knowing Who He was. I fell in love with this man who recognized God’s purpose in all things – that God moved in something as simple as a cloudy day. His love for God’s creation and God’s people moved me.
This was a fantastic book. I highly recommend it. I was a bit nervous about a political biography, I never do great reading the “big words” and endless pages that I am always left not understanding, but this book had none of that. It was personal and it was engaging – I couldn’t put it down, which I normally don’t say about a non-fiction book.

The Start Treaty was approved by the senate by 71 to 26 against the advice of over 30 high ranking officers within the three military branches, with one major, powerful proponent – the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Admiral Mullins (CFR). How many more times will the hoi polloi become duped into thinking that the two party systems exist for the benefit of U.S. citizenry? Since the end of WW II, our country is lead by outside forces that previously germinated with Teddy Roosevelt’s “Manifest Destiny” and Woodward Wilson’s admission that he was a fool for a group of unscrupulous men of which he dare not name. He stated this before he died: “I have ruined my country.”
What the United States has become is the United States Corporation.
This corporation is not led by the president. He is but the agent and so are so many members of the House and Senate in both parties who are part of the tentacles of a mammoth octopus of international corporate, political and financial interests that have long planned to restructure the entire economies of nations into a world order of countries without borders.
In the January 22nd issue of the Economist magazine the article The Rich and the Rest lays out what already is established in Europe with a common currency and borderless countries. The process progressed to such an extent in the U.S. that the structure of the New World Order has overwhelmed the political system. From what I understand from this article, the New World Order is already a fact and reversing it is a mythical wish.
The realistic fact is that the congress is so corrupted because lobbyists represent corporate, financial, international and other special interests through bribery. They have more influence than any Heritage Foundation or Tea Party group. The result of this corruption destroys national sovereignty and independence to a point that only chaos can soon follow and the beacon on the hill is in the process of collapsing into the grubby hands of those who desire to restructure it.
