Book Takeaway:

Christians must be engaged in the political process, only Biblical Christianity can truly address the social ills facing this country, and all that is necessary for evil to prevail is for the righteous to do nothing.

Why the author wrote this book:

To use the genre of a mystery/legal thriller to show the vital importance of applying Biblical principles to the world of politics, to expose the strange counter-intuitive bedfellows within the liberal political parties, and to address professional racism.
