How should we, as citizens, confront the tough issues facing our families, our communities and our nation? In his 12 years as a political leader, Phil Heimlich struggled with this question. He concluded that we will not find answers in the often empty debate between Democrats and Republicans, but in the Word of God. He doesn’t tell people how to vote or who to support, but how to apply biblical truth to the issues of our day.
