A masterpiece book on the faiths of the Founding Fathers, including the first five presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. Well-researched and fascinating.

This is the best book on the faiths of all the presidents.

Jefferson adored Jesus more than any other being in history and loved his moral teaching, but he rejected the miracles as fluff. While he was president, Jefferson rewrote the New Testament, removing what he thought was fluff added by evangelists. I don't agree with all Jefferson's views, but I do find Jefferson's Bible interesting and an inspiration of Christian ethics and Jesus.

The best brief book on Thomas Jefferson, America's third president and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon Wood calling this book "The best short Biography of Jefferson ever written." Peter Onuf, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History at University of Virginia, said, "Bernstein's Jefferson is a brilliant success."

This biography by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian seems to be the best one-volume biography of George Washington that's reasonably concise. Washington was the first president and the commanding general of the American Revolution.

Jefferson and Madison were strongly in favor of the separation of church and state, which created another set of checks and balances, but they held admirable religious ideas and considered morality important. Both Jefferson and Madison refused to follow Washington's Thanksgiving Day of Prayer, calling it unconstitutional.

Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg, "This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom." After the Union victory, Lincoln called for "malice towards none. With charity for all." He was a thoughtful and spiritual person, and Lincoln had a startling premonition of his own murder shortly before it happened.

Ronald Reagan was shaped by his mother's optimistic Disciples of Christ faith. His burial site is inscribed with Reagan’s optimistic words: "I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life." Reagan believed in freedom of religion and battled the Godless Communism.

...and then there was Warren Harding. He was the most scandalous president in history. Read this book to learn the details. Shocking!

Theodore Roosevelt (the warrior) used the "bully pulpit" to lobby his causes to the public. He achieved progressive laws to restrain the "malefactors of great wealth." Woodrow Wilson (the priest) was the son of a minister, and Wilson became a religious crusader for righteous and smart policies. Wilson failed to win his noble 14-points peace plan following WWI when he rigidly refused to compromise.

This landmark work by Max Farrand includes all the records of the Constitutional Convention. Learning about how the Constitution was formed reveals much about what the Constitution means. Here you can read the actual debate. Fascinating. By the way, the suggestion that the founders were religious fanatics who sought to create a theocracy is outrageous. Read the records!

James Madison advocated liberty and freedom of religion. He studied theology at Princeton and believed that morality was very important, but he valued reason the most. Madison believed that everyone should be free to reason one's faith individually. Madison was the Father of the Constitution because he was the main architect of the Constitution, and he advocated the separation of church and state.

Ceremonial prayers of all the presidents.

This book is, by far, the best brief book on the American Revolution. It is very easy to read and only 224 pages, so everyone should read it.

Although his leadership skills were lacking and his presidency was filled with crisis, Jimmy Carter has been a good ex-president, winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He definitely is a man of strong Christian values. As president he was ridiculed for his prayer sessions in the White House.

The shrewd political life of Washington and the extremely expensive life of luxury he lived as general at the expense of taxpayers -- millions in today's dollars. The real Geoerge Washington may be different than you think, although he was one of the greatest leaders in world history and one of America's three greatest presidents -- a man of great character in many ways.

George Washington was a Freemason. One the back of the one dollar bill is a Freemason symbol: the pyramid with the all-seeing eye. The Freemason George Washington is one the front and the Freemason symbol is on the back. The Washington Monument is also a Freemason symbol.
