PAX-TV to Air Special on June 28th Examining President Bush's Religious Faith

DENVER, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Not since the days of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln has a president put so much stock in his Christian faith and prayer life for making decisions and leading the United States in its hour of crisis. According to BBC correspondent Justin Webb, "Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night."

Grizzly Adams Productions (GAP) announced today that its "Faith in the White House" documentary, airing on the PAX-TV Network June 28th (9-10 PM ET/PT, 8-9 PM CT/MT), examines the extraordinary faith and prayer life of President George W. Bush, and how it impacts his personal life and decision-making.

"President Bush's faith has been resolute and unshakeable in dealing with the 9/11 terrorist attack, fighting al-Qaeda, ridding Iraq of the Saddam Hussein regime, rooting out terrorists in Afghanistan, and in promoting his domestic agenda," says GAP's President Charles E. Sellier. "You'll witness George W. Bush's remarkable journey of faith - from the bar room to the Oval Office - in this behind-the-scenes documentary."

According to Newsweek magazine, "This presidency is the most resolutely faith-based in modern times - an enterprise founded, supported and guided by trust in the temporal and spiritual power of God."

"Our Bush Faith television documentary was produced independent of any contact with the White House, the Bush administration or influence from the Bush-Cheney Election Campaign," says David Balsiger, director of the Bush documentary. "It's based entirely on independent research, and in part on two best-selling books examining President Bush's personal faith."

The TV special is largely based on recently released best-selling books - "George W. Bush On God and Country," by Tom Freiling, and "A Man of Faith: The Spiritual Journey of George W. Bush," by David Aikman, former senior correspondent for Time Magazine. Viewers will also see extensive interview segments with Stephen Mansfield, author of "The Faith of George W. Bush."

"Having produced 85 network TV shows on Washington, Lincoln, the power of prayer, and other Bible-related topics, Grizzly Adams' executives noticed the extraordinary 'Bush faith' phenomenon about two years ago and decided to do a TV/DVD/VHS production documenting this historic event," says Balsiger.

Included in GAP's Bush Faith documentary are public comments from several Bush critics as well as numerous interviewees who provide actual details of their personal experiences with President Bush in the areas of his faith, prayer life, faith-based decisions and how he "walks the talk" of his faith, according to Balsiger.

Named after its long-running NBC-TV series, "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams," GAP and its producers Charles Sellier and David Balsiger have created more than 500 family-friendly TV specials and series for NBC, CBS, Discovery, The Learning Channel, and other networks - including the popular PAX-TV series, "Encounters with the Unexplained."
