        Mystic Chords is the inspired autobiography of Abraham Lincoln, with

all the events, people, and dates being historically accurate, as well as the relationships he had. Groundbreaking and revelatory, it accurately chronicles, with a very personal touch, the many hardships and losses endured by the boy, the young man, and the eventual leader of a deeply divided, fragile republic. 

​

       Related in his own voice, Lincoln as narrator invites the reader to relive each moment of levity, love, and loss, right beside him. Not one to sugarcoat the facts, as he puts it, you are treated to both his dominant “better angel”,

as well as his bouts with melancholy and anger.

​

       Despite all the anguish and the unimaginable agony of being forced into leading the worst bloodshed ever seen in American history, Lincoln’s great gift of storytelling and humor shine through it all. More than anything else, however, it is his huge heart and renowned honesty that makes

this unforgettable journey so full of joy.

 “President Lincoln tossed his words into the future (our present) where we sorely need them. Jack Schuler caught them and worked them into a book relevant for today. Well done!” – Dr. Helen Montague Foster, author of The Silent Hen, psychiatrist, and professor at VCU​

Rave reviews from Positive People

 “This book is so well written that you soon feel as though Lincoln himself is sharing his life story with you. It provided me with many laughs and a lot of new information. This is the best book I have read in years.” – Jean King, Connecticut, long time English Teacher​

“Mystic Chords definitely captures the mind, the spirit, and especially the heart of Abraham Lincoln! The reverence for Lincoln that I already had has grown exponentially, thanks to this unique, and highly enjoyable addition to the Lincoln Library. I recommend it to both those who appreciate a great story, and especially to those who thought they already had the full story of what made Abraham Lincoln who he was.”

– Joerg Wiedeker, Germany, entrepreneur and literary critic​

“This book is truly a delight! It is as informative as it is humorous, but always clear on its intent to preserve the authentic character of one of the most revered men in history. The author has done a superb job in conveying the subject's thoughts and translated it into a very entertaining read worthy of anyone's time up to the last page. Thank you for writing this book !!!” – Ron Parawan, Florida, Nurse Practitioner​

“This book was recommended by a friend. My only regret is that my English is not good enough to appreciate all the writing. I don’t know much about American history, but reading this book was a very pleasant way of learning something about a great figure of US history (in action). If all history books were written in this style I would have enjoyed my history classes very much.”

– Theodore Aumont, Paris France, restaurant owner and avid reader

“This here proves what I always sayed: ‘no damned good ever comes from books!” – Thomas Lincoln, Lincoln’s father in name only​
