Author Mark D. West claims transformation begins with the "man in the mirror," not the "man in the oval office"
SARASOTA, Fla., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In Mark D. West's new book, "Here We Go Again: Biblical Insights to Counter Chronic Political Hype," the author asserts that America is broken. Dissension, anger, and hopelessness describe the political feelings of many Americans today. The recent presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden merely reflects the fractures in many families and friendships that stem from their political differences. Yet the struggles worsen with each new election.
Illustrating how these realities can apply to all, West's new book is a thought-provoking read as it challenges readers on what they are conditioned to believe and what may be at odds with immutable biblical truths.
In the book, readers are encouraged to apply the truth of scripture to many of today's pressing political questions. Using numerous scriptural references, the author reminds Christians of an unconventional way of living and the lifestyle that Jesus and his disciples taught and modeled for believers to follow. Additionally, specific questions are posed, including how one should treat political enemies, voting for the lesser evil biblical, and more.
"My book's message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding readers that Jesus is always present, in control, and offering guidance and assurance, even amid political chaos," West said.
While West is no longer engaged in political activism, he remains concerned over America's future. His focus has shifted though from external to internal change, beginning with the "man in the mirror." He challenges others to prioritize individual heart transformation over Oval Office change.
"Focus on the heart before the ballot box," West said. "True change starts with a personal relationship with Christ. There can be no political solution to a spiritual problem, thus we must first look to God's Word and prioritize our spiritual growth."
