About this title

Review:

"What Carter has done and is doing as an international peacemaker is without compare in the world today. What motivates him to take up this work, with all the personal sacrifices and risks it involves, are his deep spiritual convictions."
--From Irwin Abrams's speech nominating Jimmy Carter for the Nobel Peace Prize

From the Back Cover:

Former President Jimmy Carter has won the respect and affection of millions for his long career as a humanitarian, a peacemaker, and a model of faith in action. The Sunday school classes he leads at his hometown church in Plains, Georgia, are legendary. "These weekly sessions ... are remarkable for the ability of regular folks to walk in, grab a seat, and exchange views with the thirty-ninth president of the United States", says The New York Times. "But they are also remarkable for what Mr. Carter has to say".

For Sources of Strength, President Carter has culled fifty-two of his favorite Bible lessons -- one for each week of the year -- from the fifteen hundred or so he has taught over the decades. A thoughtful and inspiring book, Sources of Strength captured the heart of the country when it was published in hardcover, and became an immediate national bestseller. Now available in paperback, it can be enjoyed on its own or as the companion volume to Carter's bestselling spiritual autobiography, Living Faith.
