Features & Highlights
- The President is a gripping action thriller with a strong Christian message for the individual and the nation. 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, and the center of action is a place called Ground Zero.
