First published 2025
Cliff Sims navigates the treacherous corridors of American power while trying to maintain his Christian faith. As a presidential campaign advisor and close aide to the President, Sims witnesses the brutal realities of high-stakes politics from inside the West Wing, Air Force One, and top secret government bunkers. The son of a Baptist minister faces constant tension between his evangelical beliefs and the ruthless political environment surrounding him. Sims grapples with questions that plague many Christians today: how to respond when faith conflicts with culture, how to focus on eternal matters amid worldly temptations, and how to let Christ's light shine in dark places. Through his experiences advising the President and working alongside America's top intelligence officials, Sims learns hard lessons about power, persecution, weakness, and grace. His journey reveals the struggle of living out Christian principles in an environment that tests every believer's character.
