Faithful insights from history.
“The history of George Washington is not always a recital of brilliant exploits… but it is always the consistent record of a man true to himself, true to his country, true to his God.”— Merriam Park
George Washington the Christian was written by William Jackson Johnstone and first published in 1919. Johnstone takes the reader on a journey through Washington’s life and digs deep into his character.
It begins with Washington’s religious foundation and goes through his prayer routines, church attendance, military years, and his time as President. It covers Washington’s religious habits to old age, death, and includes his will.
Appendices include sources on names, references used throughout the book, names of the Deity, and a complete index. Johnstone’s research is careful and aims to make Washington’s Christianity unmistakably clear.
