Author Crystal Caudill won the Christy Award for Short Form Fiction for her story "Star of Wonder" within the collection "We Three Kings," which I narrated.

Politics for People Who Hate Politics
Politics that Unite Rather than Divide
Politics can be infuriating. From unjust policies to unholy politicians, there are justifiable reasons to be upset or walk away altogether. Yet we must stay involved if we are to protect and sustain our fragile nation from the divisions that threaten it.
With more than two decades of experience working in the highest levels of government, insider Denise Grace Gitsham offers a remedy to America's dark political reality: Christians filled with light, love, and Christ's heart for unity. With spiritual insights, hard-earned political lessons, and practical advice, she helps you engage with wisdom and discernment, love those you disagree with while standing firm on God's truth, serve as a unifying force, and embrace God's plan for our nation and the world.
As citizens of heaven, we can engage in politics God's way: with the countercultural love, integrity, and unity that will heal our land. ©2023 Denise Grace Gitsham (P)2023 eChristian
