The President's Devotional: The Daily Readings That Inspired PresidentObama

Joshua DuBois was named President Obama's "Pastor-in-Chief" by TIME and was the spiritual advisor to the president and White House Director of Faith-based Initiatives during the President's first term. Every day, DuBois provided President Obama with a morning devotional weaving together scripture, song, prayer, and reflections to navigate the daily vagaries of life, doubt, and love for those called to lead in the 21st Century. These short, incisive, poignant readings will be from such sources as Augustine of Hippo, Walt Whitman, Billy Graham, Soren Kierkegaard, Nina Simone, and Anaïs Nin. THE PRESIDENT'S DEVOTIONAL will also include longer monthly introductions, along with a general introduction and afterword, providing articulate and inspiring relfections on the challenges of leadership in the White House. This collection of those daily devotionals is meant to inspire and encourage all leaders in their spiritual lives.
