Hillary Wants to Preach

The Atlantic’s Emma Green reports that one of Hillary Clinton’s spiritual advisers is out with a new book, Strong for a Moment Like This. The text is based on the devotionals that Methodist Pastor Bill Shillady sent her on the campaign trail. Green writes, “The book offers a rare window into the way Scripture appears to have shaped Clinton on the campaign trail – as it has throughout her life.” Shillady says of Clinton, “Given her depth of knowledge of the Bible and her experience of caring for people and loving people, she’d make a great pastor.”
