"Redeemer: The Life of Jimmy Carter" March 02, 2023
There have been many books about President Jimmy Carter. Still, only one squarely focuses on the historical and spiritual influences that shaped the faith life of the nation’s 39th president.  In the 2014 religious biography Redeemer, Randall Balmer describes how the controversial president’s rise and fall coincided with the decline of Christian progressives and the Religious Right and why he believes at several inflection points, Carter’s faith and spirituality have led him to take a path of redemption.
