Growing up Catholic I always thought that the word “evangelization” was a negative word that was associated with Jehovah’s witnesses knocking on the door. Our response? Run and hide! But I have realized lately that I have a whole new outlook on evangelization, and that hopefully I am practicing it  – both through being on the RCIA (Right of Christian Initiation of Adults) team at my church and writing modern-day Bible stories – and that we are all called  – rather, I believe, compelled as disciples to evangelize today.  In my novel, The Peace Maker, I write about a presidential election featuring two candidates – one of whom is clearly God’s candidate – the one who champions the “right to life” and keeps God in America. I believe Mitt Romney comes closest to this candidate. Spread the Word. Take a stand. This election is about more than the economy. How would God want us to vote as Christians?
