A remark my father made about the government being out of control, and that no one would ever be able to reign it in again stuck with me for years: "How Did We Get Here?"

I wrote these books for people who sense something has gone deeply wrong—and want to understand why.

I'm a Christian first, and eveything I write flows from that.
