A Georgia auto-shop owner and former Army tank crewman who served in the early Iraq occupation, then came home to run his family's two-generation garage. He spent fifteen years with the waiting-room TV on Fox News before his own faith led him to see the nationalism he'd absorbed as the opposite of the discipleship his Bible asked for.
