About the Book
Eleanor Roosevelt’s Nightly Prayer uncovers how Eleanor Roosevelt’s faith—shaped in part at St. James’ Episcopal Church—served as a wellspring for her courage, compassion, and moral clarity. Her tireless work for racial equality, refugee protection, women’s and workers’ rights, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights all bear the imprint of a woman whose belief in justice was inseparable from her belief in God.
“No account of the extraordinary life and achievements of Eleanor Roosevelt is complete without attention to the ways her deep Christian faith affected every aspect of her public and private life. Yet most of her biographers have followed the trend of political historians to minimize the role of religion in the lives of their subjects. Now, thanks to this richly sourced spiritual biography by Donn Mitchell, no one will be able to make that mistake again.”
— Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School; author of A World Made New: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; Former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See
