Being a Christian and a leader in Community Bible Study, I have always admired the integrity of President George W. Bush and supported both of his terms in the White House. First let me tell you that I do not watch political campaigning, and I stay as far away from politics as possible. Too often people, Christians included, base their opinions of politicians by the slant of the news services and the biased flood of unfounded email slander. You will never see me forward emails with defamation of political opponents. I was very interested in reviewing this book and was not disappointed. Truth is often layered by underlying circumstances. Decision Points, George W. Bush helps discover the policies and investigations that precipitated key vetoes and war plans sanctioned by the Oval Office.
Bush admits his book will not be a chronological span of his administration as President. He focused chapters on the major decisions he had to make during his presidency. Stem Cell Research, Afghanistan and Katrina are three such titles. The first two chapters gave me insight into how George W. Bush decided to run for President of the United States. I was pleased to learn the vast number of personal opinions sought and pondered before making up his mind. The depth of the investigations that this president employed to make the best decisions was based on moral convictions not political or monetary gain. This book is best read by reading one chapter at a sitting because of all the details and the many parties involved require awhile to digest and to understand. This book was given to me by Multnomah Books for review.
