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.
"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."
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."

About the author
Mark West is a former healthcare
executive, CPA, bison rancher, and political activist. Following
the sale of the senior living company he co-founded, West turned
his focus to conservative political activism. West's activism
included working with a top-tier presidential campaign, founding
the Chattanooga Tea Party, and fighting for change locally,
state-wide, and nationally. However, West began to question the
movement to which he had dedicated himself. During this same time,
West read the Bible with a renewed passion and began to understand
that much of his political activism was at odds with the scripture
he was reading. Today, he lives with his wife of 44 years in
Nokomis, Fla., and enjoys time
with his family and serving in his church. To learn more, please
