The Simple Faith of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, religion
journalist and author Christine Wicker establishes that faith was
at the heart of everything Roosevelt wanted for the American
people. This powerful book is the first in-depth look at how one of
America's richest, most patrician presidents became a passionate
and beloved champion of the downtrodden--and took the country with
him. Those who knew Roosevelt best invariably credited his
spiritual faith as the source of his passion for democracy,
justice, and equality. Like many Americans of that time, his
beliefs were simple. He believed the God who heard his prayers and
answered them expected him to serve others. He anchored his faith
in biblical stories and teachings. During times so hard that the
country would have followed him anywhere, he summoned the better
angels of the American character in ways that have never been
surpassed.
