United States Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy to attend multiple events to promote “Unified: How Our Unlikely Friendship Gives Us Hope for a Divided Country” 

Unified Releases April 3 from Tyndale Momentum 

CAROL STREAM, Ill. (March 14, 2018) – Tyndale House Publishers announces United States Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy will launch their new book,Unified: How Our Unlikely Friendship Gives Us Hope for a Divided Country, with a comprehensive media and book signing tour marking the book’s release on Tuesday, April 3. Information about South Carolina events is available at: http://www.unifiedtour.com/

In Unified, Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy share their personal experiences, including many that predate their coming to Washington together in 2010, and the critical truths they’ve learned in their own lives to help others overcome differences, strengthen bonds, build unity, and eliminate fears. They encourage others to create their own stories, clean the slate of the past, extend the hand of friendship, and ultimately to pursue reconciliation even in these seemingly divided and conflicted times.  Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy believe there is a yearning, a hunger for unity in our country.

The evening events will feature extended speaking times featuring both authors, followed by a book signing of the new release Unified. While both Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy are currently in politics, politics does not define who they are or why they pursue reconciliation and unity for our country.  Instead, they have chosen to lay aside partisan politics and encourage all of their fellow citizens to discover the joy and satisfaction that comes from relationships that are real and deep, and that can transcend the racial, political and social lines.  Unlikely friendships have altered the course of their own lives, for the better, and they both believe the country will benefit when Americans focus more on what binds us together and less on what divides us apart.

Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy will start the Unified book tour with a book signing at BookEnds in Ridgewood, N.J., at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 2. They will appear together Sunday April 1 on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Other media appearances will include CBS “This Morning,” “FOX & Friends,” ABC’s “The View,” CNN’s “New Day,” and FOX News’s “The Story with Martha McCallum.”
