Bush and first lady Barbara Bush by their priest, pastor, and friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders 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?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLevenson 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book 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 act with faith and integrity, even in the most challenging circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 135 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781546003304\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeb Bush,Russell Levenson, Jr.","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44837260689658,"sku":"9781546003304","price":12.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701429104764_book.jpg?v=1701497371","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/witness-to-dignity-the-life-and-faith-of-george-hw-and-barbara-bush-9781546003304","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
