• January 20th: Prayers for the Wayless Way
• January 27th: Listening and Discerning God in Our Lives
While each week follows a connecting thread, you’re welcome to join when you can—no need to worry about missing a session.

Lincoln's God: How Faith Transformed a President and a Nation
by Joshua Zeitz

Lincoln’s spiritual journey from spiritual skeptic to America's first evangelical Christian presidential believer—a conversion that changed both the Civil War and the practice of religion itself.

This is the story of that transformation and how religion helped millions of Northerners interpret the carnage and political upheaval of the 1850s and 1860s. Rather than focus on battles and personalities, Joshua Zeitz probes the many ways war and spiritual convictions intertwined.
