the last book I ever read (Jimmy Carter: The American Presidents Series: The 39th President, 1977-1981, excerpt one)

from Jimmy Carter: The American Presidents Series: The 39th President, 1977-1981 by Julian E. Zelizer:

Shortly after his defeat, Carter underwent a “born-again” experience, which motivated him to devote his life to Christianity. Carter was also inspired by the work of Reinhold Niebuhr, whose writing imparted to him the message that one of the goals of politics was to use government to create justice in a sinful world. His political vision was taking shape again. In 1967, Jimmy and Rosalynn had a daughter; they named her Amy.
