Andrew Jackson's Conversion to Christ

The remarkable story of faith from the 7th President of the United States.

‘And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all unto me’ - John 12:32

A revival on the grounds of Andrew Jackson’s home, Easter Sunday, 1842, with Pastor John Todd Edgar, First Presbyterian Nashville, preaching.

Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) is my favorite President.

He was the seventh President of the United States, elected twice as President (1828 and 1832), serving from his inauguration on March 4, 1829, until his Farewell Address precisely eight years later, on March 4, 1837.

Jackson also became the founder of the Democratic Party.

He eclipses Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan for his political courage, but most of all, his remarkable conversion to faith in Jesus Christ at age 75, three years before his death.

Jackson once opined about his life, ‘I was created for a storm. Calm does not suit me.’
