The Faiths of the Postwar Presidents: From Truman to ObamaThe Faiths of the Founding Fathers, an acclaimed look at the spiritual beliefs of such iconic Americans as Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson, established David L.

The Faiths of the Founding Fathers, an acclaimed look at the spiritual beliefs of such iconic Americans as Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson, established David L. Holmes as a measured voice in the heated debate over the new nation's religious underpinnings. With the same judicious approach, Holmes now looks at the role of faith in the lives of the twelve presidents who have served since the end of World War II.

Holmes examines not only the beliefs professed by each president but also the variety of possible influences on their religious faith, such as their upbringing, education, and the faith of their spouse. In each profile close observers such as clergy, family members, friends, and advisors recall churchgoing habits, notable displays of faith (or lack of it), and the influence of their faiths on policies concerning abortion, the death penalty, Israel, and other controversial issues.

Whether discussing John F. Kennedy's philandering and secularity or Richard Nixon's betrayal of Billy Graham's na ve trust during Watergate, Holmes includes telling and often colorful details not widely known or long forgotten. We are reminded, for instance, how Dwight Eisenhower tried to conceal the background of his parents in the Jehovah's Witnesses and how the Reverend Cotesworth Lewis's sermonizing to Lyndon Johnson on the Vietnam War was actually not a left- but a right-wing critique.

National interest in the faiths of our presidents is as strong as ever, as shown by the media frenzy engendered by George W. Bush's claim that Jesus was his favorite political philosopher or Barack Obama's parting with his minister, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Holmes's work adds depth, insight, and color to this important national topic.

GREAT GRAPE FLAVORED AND INCREASED ENERGY
Set name: Welch's Grape
I have tried the competitor’s grape flavored versions. This is by far the best grape flavored energy drink. It gives you the increased energy level you’re looking for without making you feel “fidgety.” Highly recommend this energy drink for its effectiveness and flavor!

Green Apple is the best!
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Love these, I am subscribed for every two weeks, they last me one a day at work until the next shipment. Yay! Green sour apple is just the best. It’s slightly sour and refreshing. I work graveyard and stay awake all night with one of these. Super effective, great value for the money since I’m getting them cheaper this way than buying one a day at the convenience store next to my house. They’re sugar free but use sucralose, which is wannabe sugar but still, I’d say better for me (pre-diabetic) than real sugar.

Red Berry Drink
Set name: Sour Patch Kids Redberry
I drink one of these red cans when I get to the shop in the mornin. The taste reminnd me of the candy my kids liked when they were small. It has a sour kick at first but a sweet taste comes next in my mouth. I feel awake after I finish the can. My focus stays sharp while I work on the mashines for a few hours. I do not feel jitters in my hands or my chest like I do with some coffee. The liquid has no color which is fine with me because it does not stain my teath. I keep the pack in the small fridge in the garage to keep them cold. It is a good choice for days when I have a lot of heavy labor to do. My brother tried one and he thought the flavor was tart but I think it is right. I do not feel a crash when the afternoon comes. It is a way to get energy for my shift. I like that the cans are tall and hold much to last a while. My wife says I look alert when I use them before our walk.

I’ll buy it again.
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Ghost is very good. Especially comparing it to other energy drinks that literally tingle your whole body if you drink it too quickly. When I’m looking for energy drinks I really want more focus and mental energy over simple caffeine high and energy. This does give me both. In a good way. It has been very effective in what it says it does. Definitely value for the money over buying it at the gas stations one by one. Buying it in bulk definitely cuts the cost down. Energy levels peak very well without a crash at the end. The ingredients seems to be very good because my body doesn’t feel heavy afterwards.
