At a time when every aspect of our lives on every day highlights differences and division, Tim Scott and Trey Gowdy have written a powerful book, Unified, which I think is a must read for all of us. These two South Carolinians provide an intimate glimpse into their unlikely friendship that transcends differences and points a better framework upon which to build as individuals and a nation. Their good sense, wisdom, and discernment look at the fundamentals of relationship as the source of hope and strength for understanding and reconciliation.

Forged out of that relational building come many powerful truths expressed in their book from which everyone can grow and benefit.

The passion of the two authors became a common purpose of reconciliation that requires relationship, fairness, and self-awareness. Their passion and purpose extend beyond words into various forums and programs to invite others into what they have discovered.
