ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FAITH: A President's Spiritual Journey in the Darkest Days of America's History
Ignite Your Faith With the Personal Testimony of Our Greatest President
This program shares the inspiring true story of Lincoln's journey to faith, culminating in a deep regard for the Scriptures and a firm reliance upon God. The dramatic narrative begins with the Lincoln family Bible on Abraham's mother’s knee and climaxes in the explosive and faith-affirming words of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. Chris Small gives this first-person keynote as Abraham Lincoln, followed by a Q & A if desired.
No President ever faced a crisis like Abraham Lincoln: a Civil War pitting brother against brother and costing America more lives than all her other wars combined. In the midst of tragic personal loss and threatened extinction of the national Union, where would our greatest leader turn? Not long before his assassination, Lincoln told journalist Noah Brooks:
“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go.”
The sixteenth President’s spiritual journey was not an easy one. It is almost impossible to classify his faith by any standard measure, yet in Abraham Lincoln’s own speeches and writings, a deep and growing faith shines through like a bright light in a very dark land.
