The single most helpful source of information I can recommend is the Wallbuilders. Coral Ridge Ministries has also published a concise book “What They Believed” addressing the beliefs of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. The book on one of my previous posts: George Washington the Christian was also excellent. God be with you as you follow Christ and the sterling examples He found worthy to bless our nation with.
