Throughout the first year of his presidency, President Trump has continued to receive bedrock support from one of his core constituencies: Christians. This has rendered those in the liberal media apoplectic; to their eyes, the 45th president is just as outwardly irreligious as the 44th.

But how irreligious is Trump, actually? That is the question explored in “The Faith of Donald J. Trump: A Spiritual Biography,” a new book by David Brody and Scott Lamb. Here is the short synopsis of the authors’ work:

“Based on extensive inside sources, including exclusive interviews with the President and Vice President, The Faith of Donald J. Trump explores his rarely discussed, but deeply important, religious beliefs and relationships with leading Evangelicals.”

Those who think this would be an interesting read are not alone. On Monday, President Trump expressed similar sentiments:

The book, which hit bookshelves last Tuesday, is available in both hardcover and Kindle formats:

Here is the full description:

The Chief Political Correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network and the “Jesus in the Public Square” columnist for the Washington Times explore the rarely discussed, but deeply important, religious beliefs and worldview of Donald J. Trump and his advisors.

Donald J. 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 advisors who share his deep faith. In this deeply reported book, David Brody and Scott Lamb 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.

In part, the authors argue, President Trump won over evangelicals 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—he has been married three times—his supporters argue that Donald Trump may be just what America needs. This book reveals how he has surrounded himself with believers who think he is the one guiding figure who can return us to the traditional values—hard work, discipline, duty, respect, and faith—that have long been the foundation of American life, and truly make America great again in all ways.

Sure sounds like an interesting read to me.
