On December 5th, 2024, exactly one month after Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, won a historic re-election to return to the White House as the 47th President, we found ourselves at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. In preparation for this extraordinary meeting, we compiled this book as a gift and a prayer: a heartfelt offering that God may guide his leadership with wisdom, grace, and love.

This is a curated collection of the 45th and 47th verses from across the books of the Holy Bible. “That’s very good,” Trump said, inspecting the cover. As he read the Maccabees passage that follows on the next page, he replied with enthusiasm: “Oh that’s true… Beautiful, Thank you!” With the book in hand, he walked off to rejoin JD Vance and members of his team to continue their work on the transition back into the White House.

We found these passages surprising and deeply resonant with the challenges of our moment in time.

We hope you agree.
