Published by Providence Forum Press   

Dr. Peter Lillback's exhaustive fifteen years of research set’s George Washington's Sacred Fire apart from all previous works Washington’s faith. It presents a man driven by the highest of ideals using Washington's own writings, journals, letters, manuscripts, and those of his closest family and confidants to reveal the truth of this awe-inspiring role model for all generations. Dr. Lillback convincingly shows how when faced with unprecedented challenges and circumstances, Washington ultimately drew upon his persistent qualities of character - honesty, justice, equity, perseverence, piety, forgiveness, humility, and servant leadership, to become one of the most revered figures in world history. George Washington set the cornerstone for what would become one of the most prosperous, free nations in the history of civilization.
