Trump's 'Spiritual Side' Bared in New Book
The spiritual side of  President Donald Trump  will be explored in a new book written by two noted conservative journalists.
"The Faith of  Donald J. Trump : A Spiritual Biography" â by David Brody  chief political correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network  and Scott Lamb  author of the "Jesus in the Public Square" column in the Washington Times â is to be published in February by Broadside Books.
Brody and Lamb will delve into "the rarely discussed  but deeply important  religious beliefs and worldview of  Donald J. Trump  and  his  advisors " according to Broadside.
" Trump  was raised as a Presbyterian and has praised both Christianity and the primacy of the Bible. In the Oval Office   he  has surrounded  himself  with close advisers who share  his  deep faith."
The authors "draw on unparalleled access to the White House to explain  President Trump 's connection to the Christian faith  the evangelical right  the prosperity gospel  and the pressing moral and ethical issues of our day " the publisher says.
They argue that  Trump  won over evangelicals  in part  "not by pandering to them  but by supporting them and all their most important issues without pretending to be something he's not.
"Though the forty-fifth president is far from the perfect vessel â he has been married three times âhis supporters argue that  Donald Trump  may be just what America needs."
The publisher also says Brody and Lamb show how  Trump  "has surrounded  himself  with believers who think  he  is the one guiding figure who can return us to the traditional values â hard work  discipline  duty  respect  and faith â that have long been the foundation of American life â¦"
In an interview with Newsmax last August  Brody said: "Many evangelicals like the fact that [ Trump ] has no time for political correctness and also like how he sees the world in absolutes such as right and wrong  good and evil."
