Not long ago a good friend and former colleague sent me a message with encouraging words about my new book, I Pledge Allegiance: A Believer’s Guide to Kingdom Citizenship in 21st Century America (Eerdmans, 2018). 
She unexpectedly bumped into another friend while they both were marching in a local protest demonstrating against president Trump’s immigration policies.
She passed along these kind remarks:
“…(my friend) mentioned that the men’s book club had finished reading I Pledge Allegiance this morning, and found it really good and deeply challenging in all the right ways – and also that he had been in touch with you to say how superb he finds the book. I’m really glad that he took the initiative to contact you!! He and I have been talking a lot about it recently, and how we need to keep it close by to help us to navigate the insanity.”
I could not be more pleased. She describes everything I hope would happen when disciples wrestle with God’s word while considering the arguments found in my book.
I am pleased as punch.
If you haven’t yet read I Pledge Allegiance, please join the crowd of those who have and ask the Holy Spirit what He wants you to be doing for the kingdom of God in this world right now.
Aha, just about finished with Goliath. I’ll request I Pledge Allegiance back.
Good. What did you think of Goliath?
