In 1996, The Foundation For Florida's Future published a book that Bush had co-written, "Profiles in Character" (), a clear parallel to John F. Kennedy's 1955 book "Profiles in Courage". The foundation also published and distributed policy papers, such as "A New Lease on Learning: Florida's First Charter School", which Bush co-wrote. Bush subsequently wrote the foreword to another book, published by the conservative Heritage Foundation and written by Nina Shokraii Rees, "School Choice 2000: What's Happening in the States" ().
