A fascinating and well-argued book that adds a vital, missing component to understanding Churchill. As a lifelong admirer who as a boy met Churchill and who has read widely on his life, I was curious to know what Sandys and Henley would present as evidence. I was not only convinced but delighted at the realism and relevance of their portrayal of Churchill. He emerges as anything but ardently religious, but he was more personally aware of his destiny and more biblically literate and attuned to the Christian worldview and Christian civilization than many Christians today.

OS GUINNESS

Author of A Free Peoples Suicide

I have known four generations of the Churchill family. Jonathan Sandys has both the vision and the voice to carry forth the legacy of his great-grandfather and is well worthy to offer this account of Churchills life and faith. God and Churchill has earned a place next to the greatest of books ever written on the master statesman.

JAMES C. HUMES

Author and former presidential speech writer

What a wonderfully enthusiastic book, written with the insights of a great-grandson of Winston Churchill who understands his great ancestor in unique and special ways. Jonathan grasps the spiritual dimensions of Churchills life and the struggle against the pure evil of Nazi tyranny. And there is no doubt: It was Churchill as prime minister in 1940 who not only saved Britain from defeat but saved Christian civilization itself, as Jonathan and Wallace make so very clear. This is a book for Christians as well as for Churchill enthusiasts.

DR. CHRISTOPHER CATHERWOOD

Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Churchill Archives By-Fellow emeritus, historian of twentieth-century history, and evangelical writer

A graphic portrayal of the life and legacy of Winston Churchill, with emphasis on his guiding belief in divine providence. Long before the clash of civilizations had become a common term, Churchill knew what it meant and spent his life defending the civilization so decisively shaped by the Christian faith. A fascinating study!

TIMOTHY GEORGE

Founding dean of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University and general editor of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture

Having witnessed firsthand how God moves to influence major events in the world for the good of his people, I cannot imagine anyone better suited to tell the story of Gods work in the life and times of Churchill than Churchills own flesh and blood. Jonathan Sandys brings an unparalleled vibrancy and perspective on the great man and his times. He and Wallace Henley have artfully woven together the best-known and most obscure pieces of history to present the beautiful and compelling tapestry that is God and Churchill. An absolute must-read.

JOANNE KING HERRING

International diplomat, author, and president/CEO of the Marshall Plan Charities

Great leaders, and the times and circumstances in which they served, have long fascinated me. Winston Churchill has been of special interest to me for many years. I have read books about the British wartime leader, but they always seem to leave out a critical element. But Jonathan Sandys and Wallace Henley have captured it in this book. At last we have a detailed presentation not only of Churchills legendary exploits but also of the inner dynamic that compelled him with a vision for Christian civilization and an iron will to defend it at all costs. Sandys and Henley, to use a Churchillian idea, have brought the inspiration and lessons of the past into our present for the sake of the future. This is a must-read for our critical times.

ED YOUNG

Senior pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston

Winston Churchill was the greatest leader of the twentieth century, yet he never stood alone. He understood what many of his biographers have notthat he was driven by an unshakable confidence in Gods providence in his life and destiny, and in the destiny of the cause he so bravely defended. In this book, Jonathan Sandys, Churchills great-grandson, and Wallace Henley, an experienced student of political leadership, clarify what so many other biographers of Churchill have confused: Churchill believed that he was defending nothing less than Christian civilization, and he believed that God was on his side. Readers of this book will wholeheartedly agree.
