George and Barbara Bush belonged to and were active members of a
Houston church for more than 50 years. The rector of that church,
Reverend Russell Jones Levenson, Jr., believes he was invited into
private moments with these public individuals so he could serve as
a witness: a witness to observe, and a witness to tell. With
never-before shared correspondence, experiences, and personal
stories, Levenson offers new insight into the Bushes' wit and
wisdom; their commitment to family and friends; their tireless
desire to bless the lives of others; and their steadfast loyalty to
their church, their faith, and their God. Before embarking on
writing this book on faith, Levenson sought and received the
blessing of all the Bush children, including the 43rd president.
Readers will laugh, cry, and be inspired as Levenson ponders how
and why he was put in this unique pastoral position, asking
questions like, "What on earth was I doing reading the sports
section of the paper with the forty-first president, his cabinet
member Brent Scowcroft, and a Chinese official on a breezy morning
at Walker's Point in Kennebunkport, Maine?" Levenson writes with
emotion about being with President Bush and Barbara Bush as they
each took their last breaths on this earth. He then describes in
full detail the surreal experience of planning a state funeral and
giving a eulogy with other presidents in the front row. This is
book is for readers who yearn for our public officials to serve
with faith and integrity like the Bushes. But above all else, this
book shows how powerful it is when world leaders are humbled before
the power that rests above all powers.
