XX [From the text] As An American Family there has never been a White House family like the present one. And with a sigh of relief or regret, depending on how you feel about the Roosevelts, you can be sure there will never be another like it. They have broken more precedents, ignored more conventions, made themselves loved or hated in more unexpected places, done more talking, been more talked about, gallivanted hither and yon with greater abandon; in short, got more attention, good, bad and indifferent, than has ever before been the lot of a Presidential family. The result is that, today, it is not the New Deal that's the most discussed issue before the country. It's the Roosevelts. Vast numbers of people who would never attempt to express an opinion on the intricacies of tax legislation, the farm bill or Social Security, get all steamed up, pro or con, when the talk turns to the Roosevelts. And if, as is not at all impossible, the present occupant of the White House should decide, come 1940, to have a try for a third term, it is safe to say that the nation's articulate voters, from the cracker barrel in the most remote crossroads store to the halls of Congress, will be no more influenced by President Roosevelt, than by the Roosevelts. They have become America's major fireside phenomenon and one of its large-scale political issues. XX William Le Roy Stidger (1885-1949) was a prominent American Methodist preacher, author, lecturer, and early religious media figure. He became widely known for blending traditional ministry with modern communication techniques. He pastored major churches in Detroit, Kansas City, San Francisco, and San Jose and taught preaching at Boston University School of Theology for about 20 years. Stidger hosted a daily radio show, making him one of the first ministers to use mass media for evangelism A prolific writer, he published 22 books of prose and two volumes of poetry. His book These Amazing Roosevelts was aimed at a general audience—very much in line with Stidger's mission to make history, character, and moral lessons accessible to everyday readers. Stidger wasn't a historian in the academic sense, so this book isn't a political analysis. Instead, he frames the Roosevelts as an adventurous, resilient, and service oriented clan. This signals the tone: uplifting, anecdotal, and focused on personality rather than policy.…
