Spiritual autobiography that will help you better understand President Carter (2008-03-13)
Heard LIVING FAITH, a spiritual autobiography read and written by
President Jimmy Carter . . . it helped me understand this remarkable man
who has perhaps accomplished more since he left office–in large part
because of his religious beliefs.
You don’t have to be Baptist, either, to enjoy this book . . . it contains
lessons from the Bible that apply to any faith, and you’ll also enjoy
hearing about the many experiences, friends and family members who
have affected Carter’s life.
For example, he credits Miss Judy Coleman (one of his former teachers)
for teaching him that “We must adjust to changing times, but hold
to unchanging principles.”
And from a Pastor Cruz, he learned the following: “You only have
to have two loves in your life: 1. For God; and 2. For the person in front
of you at any particular point in time.”
Lastly, I liked these guidelines he shared for praying: “When I pray,
I ask: Am I pursuing the right goals? Am I holding to my personal
code? And have I done my best?”
This was the first book I have read by President Carter . . . I’m now
tempted to seek out some others he have written, particularly
if I can hear his soothing voice do the narration.Down to earth (2007-10-07)
A well written book that’s easy to read. If you want to get a good understanding of why Carter took or didn’t take certain actions while in office and the greater accomplishments he’s made since, you’ll enjoy the book. Learn about what makes Carter who he is.My introduction to Jimmy (2007-04-29)
This was the first book I read writen By x president Jimmy Carter
I was one of you who didn’t give him a second chance,(Because of all the yellow ribbons in my neighborhood,) Which in my case This book opened my eyes to what he was dealing with while in office.
GREAT BOOK to make you feel ashamed, If you like me were feeling pretty hawkish at the time HOSTAGES issues were all over the front page.
This man will be recorded as our biggest blunder not keeping him in office! If we want to be thought of as a great people insted of our current world wide profileA Moving Memoir (2005-05-03)
I really appreciated Carter’s description of his personal faith and his attempts to live and practice Christianity in today’s world. I think progressive Christians will find this book speaks to them in their attempts to reconcile a very real faith with an outward-looking and inclusive world-view. Being engaged in left-wing causes does NOT require abandoning religious faith, and we need more men and women to assert that there IS a religious left, too. In fact, for many, religious faith is the inspiration that leads us into politics. I can’t beileve a man this kind and sincere and gentle was ever president, it seems so bizarre considering today’s realities.A Gentle Man and a Gentleman (2005-01-20)
Former President Jimmy Carter is a truly outstanding person. He is very devoutly committed to his faith and he uses illustrations from his own life to affirm the faith that guides him.
Carter is indeed a humble peacemaker and this book is a sterling testament to faith, hope and living a good life. It is a book for everybody regardless of faith. It is a book about core values and internal beliefs. It is a book about the power of sharing.
