The Christian Post has documented Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ pursuit of faith before a first child was born to his wife, Casey, following an earlier miscarriage.

During an interview at the FAMILY Leader’s Thanksgiving Family forum, he explained:

“We were married, doing our thing. I was in the Navy, my wife was busy as a TV reporter, and we wanted to have a family, and it didn’t happen at first,” he said. Then after a trip to Israel, “We prayed, we prayed a lot to have a family, and then, lo and behold, we go back to the United States, and a little time later, we … got pregnant.”

That first baby, however, was lost.

“We just kept the faith, we just kept praying. We knew that there would be a path that God would lead us on, and lo and behold … a short time after … we had our first baby girl.”

But now a report at the National Pulse explains how when he was inaugurated as governor in 2019, his staff “scrambled” to buy a Bible.

His family apparently didn’t have one.

“The King James Bible, held during the inauguration by the governor’s wife Casey DeSantis, was purchased by staff from Jeff Bezos’s Amazon.com for $21.74 and shipped to Florida’s Republican Party headquarters,” the report said. “The revelation that DeSantis did not own a family Bible – at least in 2019 – casts a degree of doubt on his current presidential campaign’s framing of the governor as a staunch Christian and culture warrior. The DeSantis campaign has focused heavily on outreach to Evangelical Christians, though DeSantis himself is ostensibly Catholic,” the report charged.
