Description

For decades, President Jimmy Carter has been an avid student and teacher of the Bible. In recent years, the adult Sunday school classes he leads at his hometown Baptist church have become famous the world over. As The New York Times put it, "These weekly sessions...are remarkable for the ability of regular folks to walk in, grab a seat and exchange views with the 39th President of the United States. But they are also remarkable for what Mr. Carter has to say." Now, this most admired American has selected fifty-two of his favorite Bible meditations from these Sunday gatherings to share with anyone who is searching for new faith...or fuller understanding of a lifelong creed. The result is this remarkable book, Sources of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith. For Jimmy Carter, as for countless others, Holy Scripture has been a constant companion, a source of inspiration and strength in both good times and bad. A lifetime of devoted Bible reading has taught him that the truths of Scripture have the power to enrich and transform our daily lives in unexpected ways. As President Carter writes, "The Bible offers concrete guidance for overcoming our weaknesses and striving toward the transcendent life for which we were created." Sources of Strength is Jimmy Carter's invitation to you to share in the spiritual bounty of Scripture and joyous, more fulfilling life that a living faith makes possible. Also Available As An Audio Book "I think the audio version brings a human touch..It permits me to communicate in a much more intimate fashion." --President Jimmy Carter Read more

  • excellent condition !
When the sellers advertised : "Collectible,Like New", they were absolutely telling the truth. This book is perfect and I will definitely be purchasing from them again. I rarely buy 'used' books because you often times find texts that have not been treated well. This seller is amazing and truthful ! Thank you. ... show more

  • Great Daily Read
Nice book full of encouragement from scripture. A daily pick up for prayer and gratitude. A very good book to think about.

  • I like Jimmy Carter
I may not agree with all he says but I respect him and know that he is a Christian and God fearing man.

  • Insightful and balanced, original and traditional, it delivers the goods
As a pastor over two decades I read many devotional works in search of sermon ideas and material. This volume would serve a preacher very well for that purpose, though I no longer am working at the craft. The author's reputation was made in public endeavors other than Bible teaching so it was sort of a find to discover so many original insights and sound observations on scripture. Other writers doing this for their living are less accomplished. I positively recommend this Baptist Sunday School teacher's lessons as helpful supplements for a pilgrim with an education at Princeton Theological Seminary and years of Bible study in the Presbyterian Church (USA). ... show more

  • Plain Spoken and Biblical to the Point
A wonderful read for anyone interested in faith and politics. President Carter offers a plethora of lessons based upon the many he has taught over his many years as a Sunday School teacher. He re-enforces these devotionals with his own life experiences. His lessons center upon the Bible and offer a clear cut argument in terms of faith. As someone disenchanted with the fumblings of the Religious Right and others who have distorted the Bible, I found this work to be a refreshing work to study in a time when politics and religion seem to merge together. I encourage anyone looking for a plainspoken approach to the Word of God to add this particular book to your collection. ... show more

  • Living Faith
Although not a five star I enjoyed the passages of scripture chosen and President Carter's reflections. I think that it tells a lot about him as a man and former president. He has led his life in an authentic way,and his Christianity has shaped him to be who he has become. I was not a fan of his presidency nor am I of the same ideological persuasion but I admire how he has approached his post presidency. ... show more

  • Helps Understand The Bible.
I'm not what all would call a follower. But this book, like President Carter's Sunday School lessons, makes it easy to understand the Bible in modern times. Also gives me pause to wonder why so many Christians don't follow the Bible closer?
