To many Americans, Ronald Reagan was known as the Great Communicator and a leader who brought an end to the Cold War. But Mr. Reagans legacy and life were nearly cut short, when on March 30, 1981, a lone gunman shot and critically wounded the president as he exited the Washington Hilton.

 

In the hours after the assassination attempt, Ronald Reagan clung to the one constant in his life that had always sustained him – his faith.

 

Ronald Reagan: Man of Faith is a story about faith, family and a divine plan that brought a president and a pope together to end the Cold War.

"WE BELIEVE FAITH AND FREEDOM MUST BE OUR GUIDING STARS, FOR THEY SHOW US TRUTH, THEY MAKE US BRAVE, GIVE US HOPE, AND LEAVE US WISER THAN WE WERE."

"If we ever forget that we are one nation under god, then we will be a nation gone under."

"Of the many influences that have shaped the United States into a distinctive nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible."

"Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged."
