Synopsis

Originally published in 1995, The President reads like today's newspaper.
Mid-way through his term, a secular-humanist President becomes a Christian and has to decide how his new worldview must change his policies.
His wife, children, siblings, staff and the entire nation grapple with how his new faith informs his actions.
Meanwhile, terrorists are plotting to detonate a nuclear warhead in New York.
The many strands of the story all come together in Manhattan as the terrorists use the World Trade Towers to launch their attack, the center of action is a place called Ground Zero and one of the characters yells, "Let's Roll" near the end.
The President is a gripping action thriller with a strong Christian message for the individual and the nation.

About this title

From the Author:

Thomas Nelson, the publishers of On The Edge, turned down The President twenty years ago because it was "too edgy".  Multnomah immediately picked it up and published it in hardback as a major release, because they thought it was "prophetic".  Three years later they re-published the novel in the current softcover version. Now of course it is also available as an e-book--and the early bad conversion edits have now been corrected! But in all three versions, the novel reads like today's newspapers.  Don't miss the State of the Union address.

About the Author:

My wife and I live in Atlanta with the joys and challenges of a large family. My day job is in the investment real estate business. But I've been researching and writing about faith, government and business for over twenty years, including three novels, an anthology of short stories, and five years of blog poste..

After attending London School of Economics as a Marshall Scholar (1968-70), I served for three years as the Communications and Intelligence Officer on the USS Wainwright (CG-28), based in Charleston, S.C. Since then I've logged a lot of years in all aspects of investment real estate, in both the U.S. and Russia. Parenting, grandparenting, and writing are my passions.

I like the power of good fiction because it engages the whole person--intellect, emotion, spirit. The reader becomes caught up in the characters and the events, and is forced to consider issues and outcomes that go beyond everyday facts and figures. Fiction based on real truth can be transformational.
