How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life

Rating:
Summary: Throroughly enjoyable and inspirational!
Review: This is the first book I've read about Ronald Reagan and I will definitely seek to discover more about our 40th President.

It is amazing how Peter Robinson's memories and experiences are intertwined to present a picture of man who proved that an individual can indeed change the world.

I found myself writing down quotes from the President and insights from Robinson so that I could further reflect on how I too could learn from the example that President Reagan set, not just as a leader but as a Godly man.

This is not just a book about the 40th President, but a book about just how influential certain people, with whom our life paths are intertwined, can be, if we allow it. By describing the consistent goodness of this man, Ronald Reagan, and by focusing on him as a person, I felt as if I too could sit down at Reagan's ranch under a live oak and feel comfortable.

I also liked how Robinson deeply reflected on the profound influences that Reagan had on all with whom he came into contact. And although Reagan's own children had difficulty being close to him, I believe Robinson's book shows us how Reagan, through his life's daily example of belief in the goodness of man, can be a "father" somehow to us all.

In a time where now our own fellow Americans themselves are trashing our county's values and objecting to life here in the U.S (which I believe Reagan would be completely shocked about), this book is a reminder of who we all can be in the sphere in which we live. Peter Robinson, we want more from you! Keep writing!

It is truly a book that is so much more than meets the eye at first glance!

Summary: A Real American Hero
Review: When Ronald Regan first ran for President I was fortunate enough to get a wave and a smile from him. He looked right at me, or so I felt, and I knew he would be our next President.
You will learn how honorable, decent, courageous, witty and smart he was with those around him.
This book describes the best president this country has ever had. You will learn how he ended the Cold War and brought the economy to new records. He had faults but who doesn't? It's really neat how this speechwriter grew in to a man by reflecting on Ronald Regan.
Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
