On Tuesday, March 15, the Mount's Catholic and Dominican Institute
and the School
of Business present Stephen Mansfield, who will discuss his
book, "The Search for God and Guinness."
According to Mansfield, "I wrote this book on Guinness just as
my office television portrayed all the horrors of the Wall Street
collapse of recent years. It made me love the Guinness story all
the more. In fact, I began to see in the Guinness tale an antidote
to much that plagues corporations today. I found it
refreshing.”
“As I wrote in the introduction of this book, ‘I knew I had
found it: that earthy, human, holy tale of a people honing a craft
over time and of a family seeking to do good in the world as an
offering to God. This was what my weary soul needed—a story thick
like the smell of barley at the St. James Gate brewery and as
filled with the bitter and the sweet as any generational tale is
likely to be.’ I love the Guinness story.”
Stephen Mansfield is a New
York Times bestselling author and a popular speaker who
coaches leaders worldwide. He first rose to global attention with
his groundbreaking book, The Faith Of George W. Bush, a
bestseller that Time magazine credited with helping to shape the
2004 U.S. presidential election. The book was also a source for
Oliver Stone’s award-winning film “W.”
Mansfield’s The Faith Of Barack Obama was another
international bestseller. He has written celebrated biographies of
Booker T. Washington, George Whitefield, Winston Churchill, Pope
Benedict XVI, and Abraham Lincoln, among others. Publishers
Weekly described his book, Killing Jesus, as
“masterful.” His recent Mansfield’s Book Of Manly Men is
inspiring men’s events around the world.
Mansfield’s latest book, The Miracle of the Kurds, is a
timely introduction to the Kurdish people that has reached
bookstores just as Kurdish troops are standing heroically against
the evils of ISIS in the Middle East. The book has been named “Book
of the Year” by Rudaw, the leading Kurdish news service.

of heritage, and the skills required to shape modern culture. He is
