Synopsis

When Winston Churchill was a boy of sixteen, he already had a vision for his purpose in life. "This country will be subjected somehow to a tremendous invasion . . . I shall be in command of the defences of London . . . it will fall to me to save the Capital, to save the Empire."

It was a most unlikely prediction. Perceived as a failure for much of his life, Churchill was the last person anyone would have expected to rise to national prominence as prime minister and influence the fate of the world during World War II. But Churchill persevered, on a mission to achieve his purpose. God and Churchill tells the remarkable story of how one man, armed with belief in his divine destiny, embarked on a course to save Christian civilization when Adolf Hitler and the forces of evil stood opposed. It traces the personal, political, and spiritual path of one of history's greatest leaders and offers hope for our own violent and troubled times.

God & Churchill isn’t my typical read, nor is this shaping up to be my typical review. Instead it seems to be landing somewhere between a review and an exhortation. To start, let me just say that after reading this book, I’m convinced that lessons learned from and about Churchill, particularly in re......more

Goodreads review by Ron on January 25, 2019

Outstanding book. Churchill believed since he was a teen that he had a sense of destiny that would safe Great Britain. He believed that Providence (God) prepared him for this task. The book compares the times of the 30s and 40s with today and says we need leaders of Churchill's kind to lead us now w......more

Goodreads review by Katherine on July 10, 2022

History, 5 stars. Spectacular. Perfect. Overarching theme of trying to shove spirituality into Churchill’s biography? 2 stars. There’s no doubt that Churchill believed in God, knew the Bible inside out, and held Christian civilisation as the best in the world. But there’s also little doubt that he was......more

Goodreads review by Heather on January 10, 2016

It's refreshing to read a new take on someone so well covered, so when I saw God & Churchill pop up on NetGalley, I had to go for it. I really enjoyed this new perspective. I thought most sections were strong and well written, especially those about Churchill's earlier years. The weakest section of......more
