Reviews

[Pamela Cooper]

This is a thorough examination of President Lincoln's obvious esteem of God's holy word, the Bible. The author gives examples of usage within speeches, daily life conversations along with deeds. The Scriptures were not simply words, they were the foundation of living his human life. Some may think the gift of giving one a verse of Scripture is meaningless. To President Lincoln, it mattered more than a proverb or saying, it was the gift of divine Truth. The Bible clearly guided both his life, actions and daily decisions, especially as the of the free world.

[Herman Goetter]

Another interesting opinion of the great Abraham Lincoln

So many view points of the GREAT EMANCIPATOR and these comparisons add more
reasons to read as many as can be found in order to fully appreciate GODS GIFT of him to
American history .
