God And Hillary Clinton

For over fifteen years, Hillary Clinton has been one of the most polarising names in national politics, but while many writers have taken a close look at her stances on the issues, few have addressed her long-held religious beliefs. Based on Kengor's exhaustive research, "God and Hillary Clinton" intertwines Clinton's spiritual evolution with her personal history, discussing how her Methodist upbringing laid a strong Christian foundation that resulted in her leading Bible studies and prayer throughout her years in the Arkansas Governor's mansion. But although she is unarguably a Christian, Clinton has also encountered periods where she has strayed from her roots.Kengor offers readers some of the stranger revelations about Clinton's spiritual past, elucidating the times in her life when she drifted from the devout, including the erosion of her faith during the 60s and 70s and her experimentation with New Age mysticism in the White House. Furthermore, Kengor closely investigates her religious struggles incited by the Monica Lewinsky scandal as he looks at the spiritual implications of her husband's infidelities.
