Before he had converted 21, Michael Wear found himself profound inside the halls of electric power in the National government among the youngest-ever White House staffers.

In this particular unvarnished account of beliefs inside the world's most powerful office, Wear provides unprecedented insight into the most controversial tales of the previous eight years, from the president's change of position on gay marriage and the politicization of spiritual independence to the administration's failing to find common surface on abortion and the bitter controversy over who would give the benediction at the 2012 inauguration. Wear also shows the behind-the-scenes problems behind a few of the administration's personal achievements, like the adoption tax credit and making individual trafficking a presidential main concern.
