    Description

    For almost three decades, President Carter has regularly spent part of each Sunday reading from scripture and sharing his personal faith with neighbors, friends, and visitors at his Baptist church in Plains, Georgia. In Living Faith, he draws on this experience, exploring the values closest to his heart and the personal beliefs that have nurtured and sustained him. For President Carter, faith finds its deepest expression in a life of compassion, reconciliation, and service to others. Living Faith is filled with stories of people whose lives have touched his--some from the world stage, more from modest walks of life. We see how President Carter learned about other faiths from Prime Minister Menachim Begin and President Anwar Sadat; learned a lesson in forgiveness from a clash with commentator George Will; how he was inspired by the simple theology of preacher Ely Cruz, "Love God and the person in front of you"; and how the cheerful strength of family friend Annie Mae Rhodes taught him the meaning of "patient faith." Rooted in scripture and infused with a vision of how a dynamic faith can enrich our public and private lives, this is the most personal book yet by one of our most admired Americans--a warmly inspirational volume to give and to share.

      • Good man, fair-to-middlin' book
    I've always regarded Jimmy Carter as a better human being than a president. What he accomplished after his term in office is, I believe, much greater than what he accomplished as Chief Executive of the United States. Unsurprisingly, given his humanitarian efforts, his personal faith leans more towards the social gospel and less towards the personally spiritual aspects of the faith, although those aspects are present as well. When discussing theological issues, or discussing the controversies in his Southern Baptist Church, he falls a little short. He does not display a good understanding of some conservative positions. I'm not saying he has to agree with them, but to claim that inerrantists mostly believe the King James Version is inerrant is, well, errant. True inerrantists believe the inerrancy is in the original documents, in the original languages. Those who believe homosexuality is wrong (what he calls "attacking homosexuals) get their beliefs from a few Old Testament verses, claims Mr. Carter. Actually, there are passages in the New Testament that would seem to support that position as well. And it is obvious he has never even made an attempt to come to grips with the doctrine of predestination. One thing in his favor, though: he does not support the conclusions of the Jesus Seminar. Jimmy Carter deserves much respect for the good that he's done for humanity. I believe his faith is genuine, and he is truly a born-again believer. He has challenged me, through this book, to put more action behind my faith. All who read this book should realize one thing: a theologian he is not. ... show more

    I have long admired Jimmy Carter's faith, and have enjoyed many of his books. His folksy stories are both entertaining and demonstrate Christian faith. In this book, I found nothing out of the ordinary as it followed the pattern of Carter's other books. Still, his simple explanations of faith are moving. From Plains to the White House, Carter was able to demonstrate his faith. I was particularly moved by the talk of his marriage. Even though some doubted his convictions, I have not doubts. ... show more
