Living Faith

For three decades, Jimmy Carter has regularly spent part of Sunday morning 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 to offer lessons for life from the Bible, personal experience, and the examples of friends and family who have guided, challenged, and inspired 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. "Living Faith" is also a deeply personal account of the joys, heartbreaks, defeats, and achievements of President Carter's life as seen through the eyes of faith. Through all these struggles, and through his later years of political triumph and acclaim as one of the world's most respected peacemakers, Christian belief has been President Carter's anchor and touchstone. In "Living Faith," he shares more fully than ever before the personal meaning of his creed.
