Evangelical President

Very good book........I wonder how we could get it to those who criticizes the President for the legacy he is building. Obviously, they will not buy the book. It gives a very honest and unbiased commentary on the President.

Confirmed my views on Bush

I always thought that Pres. Bush must be an extraordinary man and this book showed me how he really is and that I was right. A great manager, leader and definitely a true believer. He has a good heart and he knows where he is taking the country. Although his big problem is that he relies on his aides like Condi Rice more than he should and that's why he is misguided on bunch of issues, i.e Iranian policy. This book will definitely change your views about the current US president and will make you understand him more. He's one smart man!

THE EVANGELICAL CRUSADE

I give this book five stars because the author Bill Sammon, was able to get the inside information... and most of all because of a great title. President Bush is a man that few of us truly understand. Sometimes Sammon gets caught up in talking too much about Vice President Cheny and others -- throughout the center of the book.. perhaps to cover up for his failure to digest the full implication of what President Bush contributes to the history of America... but who could acheive that? Dr. Thomas Moore does in his new book, THE PROGRESS OF MAN, at least with regard to many facets of President Bush. THE PROGRESS OF MAN is a rare and gifted literary effort which reveals much of the inner man --- and the author acknowledges that there is much more to be revealed within this simple but complex president. I am arroused by Sammon's exploration of the spiritual nature of President Bush... about the certainty with which President Bush understands his mission on this planet - and is never overawed by the complexity of the tasks to be acomplished within such a simple and dispassionate faith. A question arises as to how well We The People understood what we were getting ourselves in for when we elected this President, twice. Did the majority recognise that we voted for "an instrument of God, appointed to change the direction of humanity... armed only with the tool of simple faith in the power of Jesus Christ" -- and a humble awareness of his own flawed nature? Sammon and Moore have each done something completely different. Instead of dramatizing the Endtimes events prophesized in Revelation, both Sammon and Moore have used them merely as a backdrop to tell a riveting and very human story of one flawed man's confrontation with himself, God, and human nature. "Evangelical" and "Progress" remind me of another great book, HILLARY, in that it develops the full complexity and subtlety of divinely inspired but conflicted human nature. Out of this character study of Hilary Clinton, the author develops complex themes about human nature, divinity, hatred, and relationships... just as Sammon does. I haven't read a more literary creation in quite some time. Try Upland Road, GODLESS and Wanderlost for further reading regarding the nature of the big issue of today.

The Evangelical President

The book arrived in perfect shape and in a timely fashion. Have not been able to read it yet but am looking forward to it. Thank you for such good service, Karen Staege

Great as Usual

I read, 'Strategery', and loved it. Then I discovered it was part of an ongoing analysis of the current Bush administration. Then I read, 'Misunderestimated'. At that point I knew I was on to something good. 'At Any Cost', was about the Florida miscount fiasco. Sammon is amazing in his insider story telling. Each book focuses on a different member of the Bush administration and how they veiw and deal with the attacks by democrats. In, 'The Evangelical President' (the latest in the series), the focus is on Dick Cheney. The book honestly describes Bush's fall from favour in the public eye. It delivers one thing that all the books in the series deliver on. The main stream media are imbeciles and the Bush administration knows it. They play the media like a new guitar. The White House reporters seem oblivious to this painfully (at times) entertaining fact. Being a reporter himself, Sammon's descriptions of the media manipulation by the Bush administration are that much more meaningful and entertaining. This book is not filled with the glowing admiration of Bush that the others in the series have. It paints a realistic picture of the current situation. When I read it, however, and in light of the other books in the series which I've read, I was left with a feeling that I can't wait to see how Bush's reign turns out. I look forward to Sammon's next (and presumably last) book in the series about the current Bush administration. I have not read the books in chronological order. I'm currently waiting for, 'Fighting Back', which is about Bush's response to that horrible day in 2001. This series has turned me into a huge Bill Sammon fan. I would catagorize all the books in the series as page turners.
