From Power to Purpose: A Remarkable Journey of Faith and Compassion

By Sam Brownback

Book Overview

The book Sam Brownback will write will not be a memoir; it will not be a policy manual; it will not be a book of self-promotion designed merely to propel the Senator into the White House in the forthcoming election season. It will be the record of a remarkable journey of faith and compassion, and the story of what can happen when one man is utterly sold out to his Lord and conspicuously placed to make a difference in the world. Senator Brownback's story is the personal narrative of a man with a sense of mission for America and a heart for God. It will also be the story of a spiritual awakening that came through adversity, and what one aide has called his "cancer epiphany." How that change came about, and how the Senator is today going about implementing that vision in his life and work is the subject of this book.

The American Answer of humble use of Power for good

I laughed a bit when I read the libertarian socially leftist "conservative" poster on this book talked about the author presenting a protestant view, that would leave him out, when the author is actually catholic :-). This book presents the humble conversion of a man who had a lot of power as a senator. Lying at deathbed fighting a deadly disease, he humbled himself and came to realize the important truth that humility is the God exalted path to true greatness. The author presents his views on whole life that goes above just prolifer on [...] to a strong next position lead on the issue. He is obviously a strong leader to protect life at all levels. Obviously, the basic purpose of our government is to protect our right to LIFE, liberty and pursuit of happiness. There is nothing more important for government to do than to use all its powers to humbly protect all life (unborn, young, old, disabled, of all races and ethnicity), including the life of the leftists who are supporting government regulated abortions as China does. This author's belief obviously led him to rescue a child from the clasps of the evil one in China and gain a wonderful blessing of another daughter in his own house. What a wonderful example of adoption as a wonderful alternative to murdering a child in the name of population control. Thanks Sam.
