FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT was President for over 12 years, longer than any other. He won four Presidential Elections, and was in office during the Great Depression and World War II. Regardless if one agrees with his politics, he exerted a significant influence on U.S. history.
This 408 page book details statements reflecting his own faith, and that of our nation, from FDR's own public papers dated 1933-1945. FDR's bold public proclamations of Christian beliefs are a sobering reminder of America's rich Christian heritage that continues to erode amidst the present day's climate of politically correct standards.
The challenges the world faces today from global terror are in many ways similar to the global terror faced over sixty years ago, which was defeated. Included in this book are FDR's many statements relevant to these situations.
"No nation can appease the Nazis. No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it."
"We will accept only a world consecrated to...freedom from terror"
"We intend to bring this battle to him on his own home grounds"
"We are against those...substituting terror for law."
