A lifelong student of American history, Dean approaches history not just as a record of past events but as a dialogue between leaders, citizens, and the forces that seek to disrupt democracy. His book, American Silencer: The State of Political Vengeance in America, offers a sharp examination of political violence in today's world. He is also the author of A Case for Love: Finding Your Political Truth Through Christ's Teachings.
Given our divided country and our heated political rhetoric right now, this book is thoughtful, timely, and important. Whether you are liberal, conservative, or somewhere in the middle, if you are a Christian, this book will call you back to the fundamental teachings of Christ. The guiding message of Love is reflected in various policies, parties, and slogans, and the author does a good job of removing our existing bias and tribalism so we can see these things with clear eyes and a fresh perspective.

No matter your politics, it calls Christians back to the core teachings of Christ and the central message of love. The author cuts through bias and tribalism with clarity, offering a fresh, grounding perspective. Thoughtful, balanced, and deeply relevant-a highly recommended read.Mark G I think everyone should read this book. Whether you define yourself as liberal or conservative, democrat or republican - if you are a Christian, then this is the book you should be reading right now. Our nation has become so polarized, and Love has become weaponized. God seems to belong only to one political party, and I have never agreed with that. There are people of all faiths and spiritualities who are good people, but we have been caught up in the engagement of fake news. This book helps redefine your heart by viewing policy through the lens of Christ's teachings on love. I really loved the examples. I have a new view on faith and politics, and I wish more politicians would read it! RecommendBrent This book is an excellent read.
