$ 245 元 原價 245

Everyone was rather surprised when small-town farmer Jimmy Carter first announced that he’d be running for president in 1976. When Jimmy told his mother, she replied, “President of what?” But this former naval officer and governor of Georgia was ready for the role.

Jimmy Carter went on to become one of America’s most beloved political figures thanks to his honesty, strong faith, and compassion. Even today, Jimmy Carter is still dedicated to helping Americans through his extensive work as a philanthropist. He and his wife, Rosalynn, volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, building houses for the less fortunate and inspiring others to a life of service.

Who Is Jimmy Carter? details the entire life of Jimmy Carter, beginning with his 1924 birth in Plains, Georgia. Readers will learn about his life as a peanut farmer, a Sunday school teacher, a president, a Nobel Prize winner, and more.

 

當小鎮農民吉米•卡特在一九七六年宣佈要競選總統時,每個人都驚訝不已。當吉米告訴他的母親時,她回答說:“當什麼的總統?”但這位前海軍軍官和喬治亞州州長已經為這個角色做好了準備。
 
由於他的誠實、堅定的信念和同情心,吉米•卡特後來成為美國最受歡迎的政治人物之一。即使在今天,吉米•卡特仍然透過許多慈善工作來協助美國人。他和妻子羅莎琳在「國際仁人家園」當志工,為生活困苦的人建房子,並鼓勵民眾從事服務工作。
 
本書詳細記錄了生於一九二四年喬治亞州普萊恩斯的吉米•卡特的一生。讀者將了解他作為花生農民、主日學教師、總統、諾貝爾獎得主的一生。
