ORLANDO, Fla. (WordNews.org) June 17, 2020 — The founder of Charisma magazine says in a new book that the Christian vote will be critical this November.

Author, Christian businessman and award-winning journalist Stephen E. Strang’s newest book, titled “God, Trump, and COVID-19: How the Pandemic Is Affecting Christians, the World, and America’s 2020 Election,“ looks at how the pandemic has shaken up the 2020 election.

In “God, Trump, and COVID-19,” Strang seeks to answer the question, for both Christian believers and seekers, “Where is God in all of this?”

“God, Trump, and COVID-19” also provides what Strang described as an unreported 1986 prophecy by the late David Wilkerson about a plague coming that would shut down the government as well as schools, churches, restaurants, bars and thousands of businesses—and would shake New York City like never before. Strang said Wilkerson predicted this plague would force believers into radical prayer that will spark an awakening—something echoed by Christian leaders and prophets.

“In 2016, God raised up Donald Trump to lead America at a pivotal time. Evangelicals who recognized this backed him more than any other presidential candidate in history,” Strang says. “Heading into Election Day 2020, the stakes are even higher, especially with the uncertainty and upheaval caused by COVID-19. This book is really ‘part two’ of ‘God, Trump, and the 2020 Election,’ which details the fight for the soul of America. Christians need this continuation to fully realize all that’s at stake. For example, with the shutdown caused by the coronavirus, serious anti-Christian trends surfaced, such as some states closing ‘non-essential’ churches but allowing liquor stores to provide curbside service. Or ceasing all elective surgeries except abortion, which is the taking of a life while the purpose in shutting down the economy was to save lives from this dreaded virus.”

“God, Trump, and COVID-19” is released by FrontLine, an imprint of Charisma House, which publishes books written to challenge, encourage, teach and equip Christians.

Strang was voted by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Evangelicals in America.
