GodAndDonaldTrump-webDonald Trump is six months into the U.S. presidency, and opinions about his job thus far certainly fall all along the spectrum of approval or disapproval. One fact that can’t be overlooked is that President Trump has embraced the guidance of Christians who helped elect him.

A new book from Charisma Media CEO Stephen E. Strang, who strongly backed Trump in the election, will consider how the president’s faith has perhaps grown and strengthened in office. God and Donald Trump (FrontLine/Charisma House), to be released Nov. 7, seeks to help readers understand who Trump is, what he really believes, where his vision for America will lead the country and where God is in all of this.

“With pundits asking, ‘How did he win?’ my new book explores whether there was a supernatural element involved,” Strang said. “Christian leaders prophesied before the election that God had raised up Trump to lead the nation through a time of crisis. But could this billionaire reality-TV star actually convince the voters he was for real? And if so, what is God doing, now not only in Donald’s Trump’s life, but also in the nation?”

Trump is an enigma—a brash self-promoter, casino owner and man of the world. Yet he is also a devoted husband and father who has surrounded himself with men and women of faith and has made religion a key component of his image. Strang’s God and Donald Trump will explore:

● How family and childhood influences shaped Trump’s character and worldview
● How openness to evangelical leaders helped build his commitment to religious liberty
● How his election as president was predicted years before by charismatic prophets
● How he captured the largest evangelical vote in history and won the Electoral College
● What he really believes and how those beliefs helped shape his campaign promises

God and Donald Trump is a powerful first-person account of one of the most contentious elections in American history, with exclusive interviews and insightful commentary from the men and women who were there.

After interviewing Trump, Strang, an award-winning journalist, founder of Charisma magazine and successful businessman, was involved with other Christian leaders who campaigned for Trump’s election. Strang also attended the 2017 election-night victory party in New York because he believed the prophetic ministers who said Trump would win.
