Synopsis

In a divided country desperate for unity, two sons of South Carolina show how different races, life experiences, and pathways can lead to a deep friendship―even in a state that was rocked to its core by the 2015 Charleston church shooting.

Tim Scott, an African-American US senator, and Trey Gowdy, a white US congressman, won’t allow racial lines to divide them. They work together, eat meals together, campaign together, and make decisions together. Yet in the fall of 2010―as two brand-new members of the US House of Representatives―they did not even know each other. Their story as politicians and friends began the moment they met and is a model for others seeking true reconciliation.

In Indivisible, Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy, through honesty and vulnerability, inspire others to evaluate their own stories, clean the slate, and extend a hand of friendship that can change your churches, communities, and the world.

These men give me hope for our government leaders. I’m just afraid there are too few of them to make a big enough difference at this time in our nation. But it doesn’t just fall to them. We all need to work hard to have relationships with those who may look or even think differently from us. It’s es......more

While I share being a native of South Carolina with Tim Scott and Trey Gowdy, I do not share the political views of either, so I was not sure what my reaction would be to Unified, How Our Unlikely Friendship Gives Us Hope for a Divided Country. However, although Scott is a member of the Senate and G......more
