Resumen del Editor

Discover the inspiring spiritual legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history. Sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of this notoriously private monarch, The Faith of Queen Elizabeth features intimate stories and inspiring reflections on the personal faith behind the crown. With testimonies from historic figures such as Winston Churchill, Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, and Margaret Thatcher, this magnificent tribute explores the faith of the world’s most famous queen - and the king she serves.

Icon, matriarch, reformer, and the longest reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II intrigues millions around the world with her royal heritage, inspirational character, and profound faith, especially as depicted in award-winning films such as The Queen and the wildly popular Netflix series The Crown.

With a reign that bridges the 20th and 21st centuries, Queen Elizabeth has become the definition of stability, faithfulness, and dignity. Fearlessly, she led her country into the modern age with a balance of historical tradition and entrepreneurial initiative, public service and private devotion.

Nearing seven decades on the throne, the queen has faced many personal and public storms - an early and surprising ascension to the throne, the dissolution of the British Empire, political upheavals, international crises, national tragedies, family deaths, and the tabloid travails of her children and grandchildren. But throughout all her trials and triumphs, Her Majesty credits her personal faith in Jesus Christ as the steadying anchor to her life and reign. In this spiritual biography, Dudley Delffs unpacks the secret behind Her Majesty's personal devotion and public service, giving you a fuller, richer picture of the woman who’s led a nation with unwavering faith and resolve.

seeing a different side of the Queen

I appreciated this book showing how the spiritual side of the Queen affects the political and personal side of her life. She has made many hard decisions during her long reign, dealt with many family issues and looks to God for her strength. The author relates many stories about the Queen that were new to me. I also like his interviews with many of the people he met along the way and related what they think about their Queen. I really enjoyed the book about a women that I really admire.

Refreshing view

I really enjoyed the concept of this book and the stories told through each chapter.

This is a beautiful tribute to the Queen.

This is a beautiful tribute to the Queen and shows how much her faith has led her in her life.

Don't waste your money

The author makes assumptions.
there's nothing from the queen that we don't already know. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Full of Presuppositions and Correlations

I was hoping to get a story of the Queen that would be filled with more quotes and statements from her that make explicit her reliance on Jesus. While I have no grounds to doubt her personal faith, this book does barely nothing at emphasizing her faith in Jesus. Instead, I think this author simply emphasizes actions and then many times inserts his opinion as to what that action must have meant.

I also think his research must have been limited (using “The Crown” multiple times as a source).

I do not recommend.
