"Having been brought up in a devout family—first as part of the River Brethren and later Jehovah’s Witnesses—*Eisenhower continued to see the world in terms of a dialectical struggle between divine and demonic forces throughout his life*, even after joining the Presbyterian church."
Interesting that it ties right into Graham's worldview.
It’s been years since I read B Graham’s auto-biography. But, in observing his telling of president to president, he seem a to have some regrets over his political inputs, or a wish that he could have stayed out of that more. It certainly did help to set some very over-nationalistic cultural beliefs in motion, not found in scripture. I often wonder if he would like what the outcome of all that has been.
Interestingly, Eerdman's is releasing a book entitled "The Religious Journey of Dwight D. Eisenhower." (https://eerdword.com/religioud-eisenhower/?fbclid=IwAR1h2Md-BLKBwVq7bTVpu4XJKDHPA_Udm75xzGxliMhyY028Y-ERnj7WxPs)
In the description it states:

Graham and Eisenhower saw eye to eye and were good friends. That's where Graham got his start with presidents.
