Touchstone Magazine: "Divorced from Reality"

Touchstone is a prestigious and influential magazine of Christian thought.  So this article, headlined on the cover, is an important event.  It could not have come at a better time, with the possibility of Taken Into Custody going out of print.  Please use this article to get media attention, particularly in the Christian media, which is what we need more than anything.

 

 

To send a letter to the editor: 

 

The outpouring of support over Taken Into Custody has been very gratifying and successful.  Yesterday the book rocketed up above the 5,000 Amazon rating and was #1 in several catgories.  This article should assist in getting a reprieve for TIC.  Please send it to your church leaders and members, media, local officials, and other opinion leaders.

 

Thanks once again to all.  May God bless you and your families this Christmas and New Year.
