godanddonaldtrump.com/ The election of Donald Trump was not expected, and some thanked God for an- swering their prayers. I was in the crowd in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2017, when he took the oath of office with his hand on two Bibles—one given to him by his mother two days before his ninth birthday and one used by Abraham Lincoln when he took the oath of office in 1861.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote this about the young businessman: “Donald Trump’s career has only just begun, but what a beginning. Surely he is one of America’s top positive thinkers and positive doers”. Donald Trump greatly admired his father, Fred. His mother, Mary Anne, ensured
all her children were raised Presbyterian. This 1992 photo also includes Trump’s siblings Maryanne (far right), Robert (far left), and Elizabeth. Fred Jr. died in 1981.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (far right) was once Trump’s pastor and greatly
influenced him through his sermons and book The Power of Positive Thinking. In this 1988 photo Trump is also shown with his first wife, Ivana, and Peale’s wife, Ruth Stafford Peale.
President Trump is close to his family. This photo, taken when Trump announced his presidential bid, in June 2015, shows (from left) son Eric and his wife, Lara;
nine-year-old son, Barron; wife, Melania; Vanessa and son Don Jr. with their two oldest children, Kai and Donald III; daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kush- ner; and daughter Tiffany. Dr. Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, was an early Trump supporter.
He is shown here with President Trump when he visited Liberty University on May 13, 2017. Donald Trump found friends in the black community, such as Apostle Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries International in Detroit, Michigan, who gave
Trump a Jewish prayer shawl. After his victory Trump invited Jackson to pray at his inauguration. Trump generated massive crowds such as the one at this rally at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 13, 2016, four weeks before he carried
Ohio. At a similar rally in Youngstown, Ohio, before Super Tuesday, Frank Ame- dia gave Trump a prophetic word that he would win the Republican nomination.
Some Evangelicals believed that God was raising up Trump, implied by this sign held at a rally on August 21, 2015, that drew thirty thousand people to Ladd- Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama.
Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., says she prays for but does not endorse candidates. However, she was often photographed with Trump and
said publicly she was glad he won. I took this selfie with Amy and Robert Jeffress at the election night party in New York to send to my wife, Joy, who loves his television program—never thinking I’d publish it. Jeffress was one of the first evangelical leaders to back Trump.
After President Trump nominated Judge Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, he is shown praying with Gorsuch and his wife, Marie Louise; Trump’s sons
Donald Jr. and Eric; Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen; Reince Priebus; Maureen Scalia, widow of Antonin Scalia; and her son Paul, a Catholic priest.
Trump enjoys a light moment with a few members of his Faith Advisory Board (from left): pastors Robert Jeffress, Mark Burns, Ronnie Floyd, and Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne, and author Johnnie Moore.
This photo, taken by pastor Rodney Howard-Browne in the Oval Office on July 10, 2017, went viral. Leaders say Evangelicals must lift up the president in prayer so he will be able to withstand the enormous opposition he has received.
President Trump and the First Lady, pictured here with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and his wife, Nechama, showed support for Israel during his visit to the na- tion in May 2017.
Trump contacted Paula White Cain in 2003 after watching her television show, and a friendship developed. In 2012 he asked her to assemble a group of minis- ters who “know how to pray”, as he was deciding whether to run for president. Paula connected him to other evangelical leaders. She also prayed at the inaugu- ration.
On the National Day of Prayer, just three months into his term, President Trump chose to announce an executive order to help neutralize the effect of the so-called Johnson Amendment and promote free speech and religious liberty.
On Donald Trump’s first international trip he showed his support for Israel by visiting Jerusalem and becoming the first sitting US president to visit the Western Wall, where he placed prayers into the cracks and reportedly prayed for wisdom from God.
During the Trumps’ visit to the Vatican on May 24, 2017, Pope Francis blessed a
rosary belonging to First Lady Melania Trump, who is Roman Catholic. Before attending the G20 summit in Germany, President Trump visited Poland, where his remarks were met with warm applause and chants of “Donald Trump!
Donald Trump!”. He and the First Lady pose here with Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife, Agata Kornhauser-Duda.
The epilogue tells of a Catholic holy man in Loreto, Italy—the late Thomas Zim- mer—who predicted in the 1980s that God would use businessman Donald Trump to turn America to God. The book documents four other prophecies back to 2007 that Donald Trump would be elected president.
