Review 35: John Adams (David McCullough)

 Inspirational and insightful look into the life of a Christian statesman. Adams encourages me because he had clear and marked gifts, while at the same time being honest about his faults. His faults are indeed in view here, but not in the cynical critical mode of most contemporary biographies. Adams should stand taller among the founding fathers. Abigail Adams is also a grand figure, and deserves a place on the Mount Rushmore of Christian Femininity.
