P. James Roosevelt discusses the ministerial work of Reverend Norman Vincent Peale and his wife Ruth Stafford Peale. Roosevelt notes that Reverend Peale is the first minister to be awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal. Roosevelt highlights the four churches which Peale has served as minister and cites statistics about his Foundation For Christian Living and his magazine Guideposts. Roosevelt concludes by quoting four passages each from Peale and Theodore Roosevelt and noting that each used a bully pulpit to preach much the same message.
A photograph of Peale, P. James Roosevelt, and William Davison Johnston, President of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, accompanies the text.
