Non-Fiction History
Timothy Goeglein spent nearly eight years in the White House
as President George W. Bush's key point of contact to
American conservatives and the faith-based world and was
frequently profiled in the national news media. But when a
plagiarism scandal prompted his resignation, Goeglein chose
not to dodge it but confront it, and was shown remarkable
grace by the president. In fact, Bush showed more concern
for Goeglein and his family than any personal political
standing. So begins The Man in the Middle, Goeglein's unique insider
account of why he believes most of the 43rd president's
in-office decisions were made for the greater good, and how
many of those decisions could serve as a blueprint for the
emergence of a thoughtful, confident conservatism. From a
fresh perspective, Goeglein gives behind-the-scenes accounts
of key events during that historic two-term administration,
reflecting on what was right and best about the Bush years.
He was in Florida for the 2000 election recount, at the
White House on 9/11, and watched Bush become a reluctant but
effective wartime president. Goeglein, now the vice president with Focus on the Family,
also looks back at how Bush handled matters like stem cell
research, faith-based initiatives, the emergence of the
Values Voters, the nominations of both Chief Justice John
Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito-in which Goeglein
had a direct role-and debates over the definition of marriage. In all, The Man in the Middle backs historians who view the
legacy of President George W. Bush in a favorable light,
recognizing his conservative ideas worth upholding in order
to better shape our nation and change the world.
