Mr. President, The Class Is Yours

Between stints as a Sunday School teacher at Plains Baptist Church and Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga., Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of the United States and—on at least 17 Sunday mornings—the leader of Bible study with the Couples Class at the First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C.

 For the first time, the 14 known recordings of President Carter’s Sunday School lessons have been transcribed and printed with the historical context of the issues confronting the President outside the church walls.

Author Christi Harlan, an FBC member, will have copies of the book available for purchase and signing Sunday, June 30, after the 11 a.m. worship service. The books are $20 each and can be purchased with cash, check, credit card or Zelle.
