Summary: I Highly Reccomend Sources of Strength
Comment: I gained a respect for Jimmy Carter that until now was only a fair assessment of the man. I know he wrote this with the intention of being a once a week reading, but I have just about finished it in just under two weeks with intentions to reread it many many more times. His style of writing has left me with the desire to read many more of his works. One cannot help but to find ones faith taken to a higher level after reading his Bible Teachings.

Summary: Easy to Apply Inspiration
Comment: Jimmy Carter has the unique ability to quote Scripture and explain how those words still apply to our every day life today. I'm not the best student of the Bible, but this work is filled with "easy to apply inspiration" that I can take to heart and recreate in my own life. Makes an excellent gift.

Summary: A well-written, meaningful book
Comment: Jimmy Carter's Sources of Strength is a beautifully written book of simple life lessons. By simple, I do not indicate that these passages are lightweight. In fact, there is great depth to these Biblical teachings.

There are three specific aspects I admire about this book:

First, Carter's skill is clarity. He approaches the Scripture with a humble respect, sharing clear explanations and interpretations.

Second, I admire the fact that Carter selected some less familiar passages to extraplicate his lessons. And even when selecting the more familiar passages, Carter often looked at the lesson from a different angle. Yes, these are lessons that many Christians have heard throughout their lives, but Carter's unique perspective provides added insight.

Third, this is a comforting and inspiring book. Carter's approach to Christian teachings brings the focus back on restoring faith, but also turns attention toward how our actions can help one another. In other words, the book has both internal and external effects.

Some of the chapters were a little short, and some taught me more than others. But as a whole, this is a well-written book of helpful, often inspiring Christian teachings.
