Christopher Lane Sorry I missed this earlier! I am most definitely interested in Peale's major, contributing role in pushing acceptance of the American prosperity gospel and helping pave the way for Trumpism. Wrote about the second more post-2016 election because the book was published right afterwards, when it *wasn't* expected he would win via the Electoral College. See e.g. "Meet the Men Who Taught Donald Trump to Bully" (TIME, Oct. 12, 2016), "The Religious Nationalism of Donald Trump and Norman Vincent Peale" (Huffington Post, Nov. 23, 2016), and esp. "The True Mission of Donald Trump's Pastor" (Daily Beast, Jan. 15, 2017). All available on my author website; please do check it out.
