Letters to President Clinton Biblical Lessons on Faith and Leadership "Over the years, these individual missives were invaluable to me in addressing the challenges of leadership and public service...I'm delighted to see this collection published. I can only hope that its wisdom may enrich others' lives just as it did mine." - BILL CLINTON, foreword LETTERS TO PRESIDENT CLINTON (Sterling Ethos, October 2013) celebrates a unique, widely unknown chapter in President Bill Clinton’s history – a written dialogue between him and prominent American Orthodox rabbi Menachem Genack that spans more than 15 years. The two men first met when then-governor Clinton was just beginning his road to the White House. As their friendship deepened, Genack started sending Clinton essays highlighting spiritual insights from the Bible. On the heels of Clinton’s request, Genack took a more formal approach, also inviting many of his distinguished acquaintances – Bible scholars, political leaders, scientists, clergy members, and laypeople – to contribute. LETTERS TO PRESIDENT CLINTON is an inspirational collection of more than 100 of these mini-sermons. The book features a foreword by President Clinton, and includes copies of his handwritten notes.
