No one man or woman has ever been in a position to see the presidents, and the presidency, so intimately, over so many years. They called him in for photo opportunities. They called for comfort. They asked about death and salvation; about sin and forgiveness.

At a time when the nation is increasingly split over the place of religion in public life, The Preachers and the Presidents reveals how the world's most powerful men and world's most famous evangelist, Billy Graham, knit faith and politics together.

very interesting view into the whitehouse; my only criticism - a small one - was that at one point the book seemd more about Nixon than Graham, as it seemed to go on and on about this one President.

very interesting

Dr. Billy Graham offers insight into the personal & spiritual lives of America's Presidents. It is a great review of historical events & the significance that religion played through the lives of many people in political power during various administrations. History & the people are presented in a different perspective.

This gives us a rare look at the spiritual side of the public office and one mans involvement in it. Humanizes both Billy Graham and the Presidents.

Great behind the scenes.

I bought this thinking I was getting the whole; I was not. On the other hand, the narration was so good, I had to have the book. Once I has it, I realized how extensive the editing had been. So a big "boo" to Audible for not letting customers know about their arrangement, but a round of applause for Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy for a great book. L.J. Gardner's narration was risky (using a Carolina accent when quoting Graham), but for me it deepened the experience.

Very well written. I love how are you getting historical reminders of events and people and leaders of the past century woven together with the personal story. Five stars for the research that must’ve gone in to preparing for the book to be written so well.

Outstanding
