“As one who has held public office, I see Congresswoman Hartzler’s book as an essential. There are very few resources available that can help Christians run a campaign that both honor God and succeed. Vicky has not only written the book, she has carried it out in practice.  If you are considering running for office or you want to help those who are, Running God’s Way is a must read.”

— Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council


“One of the biggest problems with politics today is getting good people to run for office. And one of the biggest reasons they don’t run is they don’t know how—it seems a daunting task.  Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler’s book is the answer. So whether you are a candidate, supporter, or patriot, this book is for you.”

— David Barton, Founder and President, WallBuilders


“Congresswoman Hartzler’s unique book describes exactly what you need to know to run a well-planned campaign. You owe it to yourself, and the traditional Judeo-Christian values in which we believe, to read her book.”

— Alex Mooney, U.S. Representative, West Virginia 2nd District
