This book is both a challenge and a chance for us to reflect and act.”—TREY GOWDY“To turnaround our country we are tempted to spend our energy fighting darkness, but you can’t turn down darkness, you can only turn up light.In a dark room, you look for the light switch, not the dark switch.For some reason, that simple truth seems to escape us when we think about people and problems.If you want less darkness, turn up more light.”—Senator James LankfordAmericans live in the greatest representative republic in the history of the planet which is defined each day by “We the People.” Everyday, the nation is US. When we look in our national mirror, if we don’t like what we see, we should do what it takes to improve our reflection. TURNAROUND is a journey book, filled with ancient truths, our modern division, personal faith, true stories, a case study on immigration politics, and a lesson about the bees that will kill you. The pages are a celebration of our freedom and a challenge to reconnect to our faith and do something significant with our lives.The stories are deeply personal and practical. TURNAROUND challenges us to step up and do something when we see the nation is drifting.We should not just allow cultural gravity to win. Each of us get the choice everyday to do the right thing, the right way. Let’s pray and get to work on our national turnaround.
