Washington’s God. Religion, Liberty, and the Father of Our Country

By Michael Novak & Jana Novak.
Published by Basic Books in 2006.

Washington has long been viewed as the patron saint of secular government, but in Washington's God, Michael Novak and his daughter, Jana, reveal that it was Washington's strong faith in divine Providence that gave meaning and force to his monumental life. Narrowly escaping a British trap during the Battle of Brooklyn, Washington didn't credit his survival to courage or tactical expertise; he blamed himself for marching his men into certain doom and marveled at the Providence that delivered them. Washington's God shows Washington not only as a man of resource, strength, and virtue, but also as a man with deeply held religious values.

Softcover. 6x9, 282 pages, black & white illustrations. Minor wear.
