Cliff Garris's Newly Released "The Cross and the Gavel" is a Present-Day Testimony of a Zealous Man who Received his Greatest Gift by Standing Firm Amid Chaos
"The Cross and the Gavel" from Christian Faith Publishing author Cliff Garris is a fundamental book that will guide readers in handling the chaos that takes place in human life unexpectedly.
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Cross and the Gavel": a motivating story of having a vigorous faith despite life's instability. "The Cross and the Gavel" is the creation of published author Cliff Garris, a forty-year congregational pastor who worked with Marine and Airforce chaplains for twelve years. Garris believes that people of faith should be politically active in their country.
Garris writes, "Wayne Jackson is a social action pastor who is leading his members, colleagues, and campus ministry students into being a Sanctuary Movement to bring undocumented political refugees into his church to protest the administration's decision to not follow the Refugee Act of 1980. They want their day in court to challenge the administration. They believe that administration pressure has been put on Federal Judges to not let them speak in court. For Wayne, the Sanctuary Movement becomes a conflict between 'the cross and the gavel.'
"His biggest clergy adversary is Danny Burns, a successful pastor of a church with five thousand members and a school with member-families only.
"What Wayne considers as his calling has cost him his marriage. He meets Joyce Barton on the beach. She is a single mom, a nurse, and a singer. They begin a romantic journey. TC Woolard, a retired Air Force veteran, owns Fox's Den and wants her to sing there. He dislikes all ministers."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Cliff Garris's new book is a plot-driven narration of how a man stood firm with his faith without expecting something–but through answering his calling, it cost him his marriage.
The author's purpose is to remind the readers that there is no chaos that heaven cannot restore.
