Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An insightful and moving collection of fifty-two Biblical meditations from former President Jimmy Carter "For me, the ancient texts always come alive when I explore them with a searching heart. I hope they will be for you, as they have been for me, sources of strength."--Jimmy Carter, from the Preface Former President Jimmy Carter has won the respect and affection of millions for his long career as a humanitarian, a peacemaker, and a model of faith in action. The Sunday school classes he led at his hometown church in Plains, Georgia, were legendary. "These weekly sessions . . . are remarkable for the ability of regular folks to walk in, grab a seat, and exchange views with the thirty-ninth president of the United States," says The New York Times. "But they are also remarkable for what Mr. Carter has to say." For Sources of Strength, President Carter has curated fifty-two of his favorite Bible lessons--one for each week of the year--from the fifteen hundred or so he taught over the decades. A thoughtful and inspiring book, Sources of Strength captured the heart of the country and can be enjoyed on its own or as a companion to Carter's bestselling spiritual autobiography, Living Faith.

Nothing Outstanding

This is a series of simple lessons by Jimmy Carter that reflects on his life and Christian behaviors. A good devotional book with no surprises.

Wise words from a great Christian man

This is a great devotional that draws on a wide range of scripture and also on President Carter's long, interesting, diverse, and meaningful life. Not only is Carter a good exegete of scripture, but his genuine faith comes through in every page. He writes in a very personal style that makes you feel like you're studying the scriptures with a favorite uncle...who happened to be the leader of the free world some years back...

I Highly Reccomend Sources of Strength

I gained a respect for Jimmy Carter that until now was only a fair assessment of the man. I know he wrote this with the intention of being a once a week reading, but I have just about finished it in just under two weeks with intentions to reread it many many more times. His style of writing has left me with the desire to read many more of his works. One cannot help but to find ones faith taken to a higher level after reading...

A MUST READ!

President Carter impressed me with his Biblical knowledge and being able to tie it back into today's world. His personal stories made this book all the more great because we got to see glimpses of the President's life. He has an awesome faith in God and is an inspiration to us all.

WONDERFUL!!!

This is without a doubt one of the finest books that President Carter has written. It is clear and very easy to read. I had the great fortune of being able to briefly chat with President Carter about "Sources of Strength", and he told me that these are synopsis of his Sunday School classes that he teaches. He also told me that he has over 1600 more of them. All I can say is, I pray to God that he publishes all of them!...
