Michael A. Milton is a pastor, educator, veteran, and Southern storyteller who writes at the crossroads of faith, freedom, and public life. Having served both the church and the academy-from church planter and Army chaplain to seminary president and chancellor-Milton retired as Distinguished Professor of Missions and Evangelism. He is President of the D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership, under whose banner this series is published. His work calls the church-and the nation-back to first principles.
