good book, you are put right in the story line, and makes you think emotionally more than intellectually; away that we are not taught to read history.History is life, its not just dates & facts, but of stories, emotions, struggles, conflicts, success. Its a history book that tells certain stories/events of George Washington that have been taken out of modern textbooks, novels, media, school, politics, etc for his reliance of God, for his relationship with his servants/slaves that go contrary to what our modern day historians & media wants us to belief.
He was not a demi-god, not a perfect human being, was not the worlds greatest general at the beginning like some "Republicans" would like us to believe, and be the emblem of conservatives, patriots. And yet, despite all that he is not, he is still the Father of our Country, emblem of conservatives, patriots, military personnel.
We can model after him because he lived a life of devotion, service,duty, love, striving to do his best both for his country (as a British colonial & as an American) to to Divine Providence.

One additional reason of why I am such a fan of George Washington, he loved ice cream & so do I!
