I think that Jimmy Carter is probably one of the most erroneously underrated presidents. From his humble beginnings in rural Georgia, he became an American Renaissance man, pursuing and excelling in many, diverse areas. A Full Life is a candid, seemingly honest and fair, reminiscence of a life lived to its fullest. In nearly every chapter is an "oh wow" moment describing a new endeavor, adventure, or accomplishment. And in keeping with the honor and values of Jimmy Carter, he also shares his failures, disappointments, and wrong turnings. This is a must read for anyone interested in the life of a true statesman, gentleman, and servant of others. We need more Jimmy Carters desperately, in our nation and in our world.
