Reads like a brisk, sermon-esque argument that insists predestination follows from human sinfulness and frequent scripture quotation. Chapters are short and direct, so the useful part is a compact, scripture-centered statement you can reference or teach from without wading through lengthy debate.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power.

Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
