GW recommends book about the prophet Abraham
George Bush has just recommended a book. It’s called Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths by Bruce Feiler. He says:
“It’s a really interesting book that studies the prophet Abraham from the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim perspective. And the lesson is, is that if you–you can look at Abraham as a unifying factor. In other words, all three of our–all three of those religions started from the same source, which means it’s possible to reconcile differences. And I was impressed by his writing. I really enjoyed the amount of study he did on the subject. And I appreciated his lessons that sometimes as each religion appropriated Abraham to suit their own needs, but, ultimately, we could view Abraham as a way to find a common God.”

What a great idea…it’s nice to see Obama supporting this type of discussion.
