With extensive interviews with friends and enemies plus unprecedented access to the man himself, but wholly without his authorization, \u003ci\u003eLiving the Faith\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates Tom Monaghan, the man and the myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiving the Faith\u003c\/i\u003e is the much-needed, definitive biography of one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in the realms of American business and religion. Through eighteen hard-boiled chapters, journalist James Leonard follows Monaghan on his path from a heartbroken kid who climbed into his father's coffin to the business tycoon who purchased the world-champion Detroit Tigers and spent a fortune on his own air force, navy, and island to the religious visionary who founded a university to make saints and a public interest law firm to overturn evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sympathetic but critical perspective of the man and his works, this book is for believers, nonbelievers, and agnostics; for conservatives, liberals, and independents; for the rich, the poor, and the shrinking middle class. Mainly, however, this book is for those who want the facts about Tom Monaghan---and the truth about the effect religion had on one man and the effect that man had on the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Regional\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472117437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.40d","brand":"James Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049445785781,"sku":"9780472117437","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7bbc4afc-aa39-49cf-bc77-03b16028f967.jpg?v=1689689710","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/living-the-faith-a-life-of-tom-monaghan-9780472117437","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
