Sources of Strength

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An insightful and moving collection of fifty-two Biblical meditations from former President Jimmy Carter

“For me, the ancient texts always come alive when I explore them with a searching heart. I hope they will be for you, as they have been for me, sources of strength.”—Jimmy Carter, from the Preface
 
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 led at his hometown church in Plains, Georgia, were 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 curated fifty-two of his favorite Bible lessons—one for each week of the year—from the fifteen hundred or so he taught over the decades. A thoughtful and inspiring book, Sources of Strength captured the heart of the country and can be enjoyed on its own or as a companion to Carter’s bestselling spiritual autobiography, Living Faith.
