I was given the audio (read by the author ) for my birthday and I listen in my car whenever I have to drive any distance. It's a fascinating and detailed account of his childhood near Plains, his Navy career, his first forays into politics - he didn't get to his run for POTUS till disc #5! And it's a history lesson besides being a wonderful story - we learn a lot about Rosalynn, too. It was written in 2014 so he weighs in on a lot of current events. I recommend it highly!

Noble, humble, serving his fellow man - especially the neediest - in genuine love and compassion.

Saintly, even. He sure put Habitat for Humanity on the map.

Sunday School about 18-19 yrs ago, and this terrific pair posed for photos with each of the attendees after the service.
A photo I treasure - displayed on the mantle in my den.

Happy Anniversary, Jimmy and Rosalyn!
