Synopsis

Over the course of nearly four decades, thousands of spiritual seekers from around the globe made the unusual pilgrimage to the rural whistlestop of Plains, Georgia, for a remarkable opportunity to glean enduring lessons from Scripture taught by one of the world's most unlikely Sunday School teachers, the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. In 1981, Carter returned to his hometown of Plains. Through the open-door hospitality of Maranatha Baptist Church, the Plains congregation where Carter maintained a membership for his entire post-presidential life, "Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Class" welcomed crowds of curious folks from a vast variety of faiths, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds on the search for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness a national treasure share his relevant insights from time-tested Scriptures. Also included are selected lessons taught at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., during Carter's four years in the Oval Office.
