Description for SOURCES OF STRENGTH: MEDITATIONS ON SCRIPTURE FOR A LIVING FAITH by Jimmy Carter:

For Jimmy Carter, Holy Scripture has been a constant companion, a source of inspiration and strength in both good times and bad. A lifetime of devoted Bible reading has taught him that the truths of Scripture have the power to enrich and transform our daily lives in unexpected ways. Sources of Strength is his invitation to share in the spiritual bounty of Scripture and the joyous, more fulfilling life that a living faith makes possible.

President Jimmy Carter has been known for decades as an avid student and teacher of the Bible. His adult Sunday school classes in his hometown Baptist church are well attended...and world famous. As The New York Times put it, "These weekly sessions...are remarkable for the ability of regular folks to walk in, grab a seat and exchange views with the 39th President of the United States. But they are also remarkable for what Mr. Carter has to say."

Now, this most admired American has selected fifty-two of his favorite Bible meditations from his teachings to share with those searching for new faith, or for a deeper understanding of lifelong beliefs. The result is this remarkable book, SOURCES OF STRENGTH.

Based on Old and New Testament passages, these thoughtful, inspiring lessons reflect themes that touch every life: the blessings and challenges of family love; loss, grief, and healing; forgiveness and reconciliation; the meaning of the good life; and, above all, the transforming power of God's love in our lives.

A lifetime of devoted Bible reading has taught him that the truths of Scripture have the power to enrich and transform readers' daily lives in unexpected ways. As President Carter writes, "The Bible offers concrete guidance for overcoming our weaknesses and striving toward the...life for which we were created."
