Wonderful and engaging, Jun 18 2004

Wyrick has authored a wonderful examination of the spirituality of one of American history's most devoutly religious Presidents. This book is a very pleasant and readable book that has a rich depth of information.

I recommend it for the person who is a teacher or student of history, as the book gives insight into the spiritual aspect of Lincoln.

I recommend it for the religious person who has no historical background. Wyrick gives enough historical background for the non-historian to enjoy the book.

Excellent resource for the pastor, theologian, historian or seminary student.

Excellent for the serious lay person, who has some background in Protestant studies. It is clear and… Read more
