WASHINGTON – The Congressional Black Caucus plays a significant role in the story told by the No. 1 bestselling Christian book and the No. 1 bestselling faith movie.

It was at the Congressional Black Caucus that Sen. John Edwards, D-S.C., then a vice presidential running mate with Sen. John Kerry, made a speech in which he cited the words of Isaiah 9:10 on the third anniversary of 9/11 in explaining how the U.S. could respond. In fact, he didn’t just site the ancient curse of judgment, he built his entire speech around it.

But a member of that caucus, Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, took the time to write a formal letter of thanks to WND Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah for the gifts of “The Harbinger” and “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment” distributed to every member of Congress last month.

“I look forward to reading your book on my flights back to Dallas,” she said.

Johnson is just one of many House members and senators who have written letters of thanks for the receipt of the gifts – a giveaway program sponsored by WND Films, Charisma House publishers and a group of volunteers who visited all 535 offices on Capitol Hill.

Members of Congress continue to express their thanks and appreciation for a volunteer program that delivered 535 copies of the No. 1 faith movie and the No. 1 Christian book in America in September.
