Unified How Our Unlikely Friendship Gives Us Hope for a Divided Country: A Review


Authored by Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy, this is a remarkable book about friendship and reconciliation:

If friendship and reconciliation can happen in Washington, DC, it can happen anywhere.
Unified tells the remarkable story of two men who came from very different backgrounds: one the ambitious grandson of a cotton picker, the other trained as a lawyer. Decades ago, no one would have predicted their paths would one day be intertwined. But they became good friends and an inspiration to others. If such a friendship can thrive in the competitive world of Washington DC, it can happen in your community as well.
If we’re going to heal the division in our nation, it will only happen through dedicated friendships that overcome our differences. That’s why Senator Tim Scot and Congressman Trey Gowdy are committed to sharing their story to encourage and inspire others.
We can restore our communities-one friendship at a time.

Both Tim and Trey are from South Carolina. Tim is African American and Trey is Caucasian. They have become very close friends and they would like their story to help the rest of America see that people of different colors or nationalities can be Unified.
In this book, they emphasize that in building relationships, one should emphasize what is common ground first followed by developing the relationship such that it’s easier to discuss the differences. Both men emphasize that one must intentionally take time to build these relationships.
You can learn more about this book- go to www.Tyndale.com and on the search bar type in Unified. I would encourage you to either order a copy or visit your local book store and purchase one there. I personally thoroughly enjoyed reading this book
