Vienna Presbyterian Church and Bridgepoint Connections invites you to join them for:
"Faith and History Still Live in the Nation's Capital"
with special guest, author and historian, Jane Hampton Cook
National media commentator and award-winning author Jane Hampton Cook brings history and biographies to life, making them memorable and relevant to today's news, current events, politics, issues of faith, and modern-day life. Jane is the author of seven books, including her newest, American Phoenix.
Jane served former President George W. Bush as a webmaster for five years, including three in the Texas governor's office and two years in the White House as Deputy Director of Internet News Services. Her enthusiasm for history skyrocketed when she discovered that writing historical stories for whitehouse.gov were among the site's most popular pages. The experience cemented her decision to passionately pursue U.S. history topics as an author.
Her latest book, American Phoenix, is the story of John Quincy and Louisa Adams, the War of 1812 and the exile that saved American independence. Her other books include "Stories of Faith & Courage from the Revolutionary War," "The Faith of America's First Ladies" and "Stories of Faith & Courage from the War in Iraq & Afghanistan."
At the luncheon, Jane will describe her experience in the White House and her journey into the history of our founding fathers. She will also describe how faith has been intertwined in the founding of our country and how it still lives in the nation's capital in her life and others.
