"George and Barbara Bush belonged to and were active members of St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston for more than 50 years. The rector of that church, Reverend Russell Jones Levenson, Jr., was a witness to the dignity of the Bushes for more than eleven years until the days of their deaths. With never-before shared correspondence, experiences, and stories between Levenson and the Bushes, this book offers new insight into their wit and wisdom; their commitment to family and friends; their ... desire to bless the lives of others; and their steadfast loyalty to their Church, their faith, and their God"
