520 In Destined for Destiny, George W. Bush offers readers an
intimate, plainspoken, and often readable look at the
character-shaping achievements that led to his inevitable
rise to the office of President of the United States.
Written from the heart, not from the brain, this
definitive autobiography takes readers on a journey
through the 43rd President's life, including his
hardscrabble beginnings as the child of West Texas oil
millionaires, the remarkable academic performance that
earned him entry into the finest East Coast schools, and
his proud service to the country as an occasional member
of the National Guard sometime around 1972 or 1973. He
proudly recounts his years as a successful oil-business
failure and the owner of a baseball team. He even dares to
dream the ultimate dream: to become Commissioner of
Baseball. The great man we meet here displays his
mother's steely resolve and vindictive temper, his
father's keen mastery of language, and his own unique gift
of deciding. His gripping life story deepens when a faith
in God hits him one day "like a bottle of Jack on an empty
stomach," and he has an encounter with the Prince of Peace
that sets George W. Bush on a path to become the greatest
War President in history. To help craft this lasting
account of his life and leadership, George W. Bush turned
to two writers who have earned not only his trust but his
deep friendship: Scott Dikkers, editor-in-chief of The
Onion and coauthor of the #1 bestseller Our Dumb Century,
and Peter Hilleren, former producer for public radio and
some of the nation's finest public-access cable-television
stations. Dikkers and Hilleren call on their finely honed
journalism expertise every week to write and record the
President's weekly radio address on
WeeklyRadioAddress.com. Their work on such stirring
addresses as "June Terror Update" and "The Pope Is Dead"
made them the ideal choice to meet the challenge of
chronicling the visionary mark left on history by its
shining light, President George W. Bush. * * * Free from
all the filters, handlers, and facts . . . I tell the
untold story of my inspirational life. You will struggle
with me in my strugglesome youth. During the Vietnam War,
you will be right there at my side as I face down the
terrible enemy of my sinful partying. Together, we will
meet and fall head over heels for the love of my life --
Jesus. And through me you will become a beloved, terror-
fighting hero in the greatest hour of my presidency,
September 11, 2001. I embarked upon this important and
historical work against the advice of my advisors. Come
what may, I wanted you to hear my story from me, in my own
talking. God bless, George W. Bush
