Just Released: Hopeful Realism
​
A Natural Law Framework for Evangelicals Today
During a time when political conversations are marked by deep polarization and difficult decision-making, what resources do evangelicals have to think critically and theologically about public life?
​
For political theorists Bryan T. McGraw, Jesse Covington, and Micah Watson, a crucial resource is to be found in natural law, a rich tradition of Christian political thought often neglected by evangelicals. Grounded in the hope and realism of the gospel, their evangelical natural law theory is deep in moral conviction yet oriented toward practical political decision-making. Relevant to all dimensions of political life, they show how an evangelical natural law framework can speak into debates about the economy, family life and marriage, violence and war, and religious freedom.
Hopeful Realism is a generous guide for evangelicals concerned with bringing their theological commitments to bear on their political judgments. A volume that brings together robust theory with practical cases, Covington, McGraw, and Watson show how evangelicals can participate as evangelicals in a pluralistic, often polarized, democracy.

National First Responders Day - October 28
​
Please join me on Monday, October 28th and honor all of our local heroes for National First Responders Day. The brave men and women of our EMS, Police and Fire Departments are the foundation of every town and city in the USA. While I have always been aware of the outstanding First Responders in New Canaan, Connecticut, all the years my family has lived here, it wasn’t until we needed to call 911 for a medical emergency last year at our house. It was for me. I was very lucky as I quickly returned to 100% great health. But I will never forget the EMS paramedics and the police officers who assisted me that day. I now see all of them in a different light; in fact, I plan to join the EMT volunteers in 2025. It will be a privilege to have the opportunity to assist others in their time of need.
John Patrick Walsh is an experienced on-screen and voiceover actor as well as an audiobook narrator. Originally hailing from the East Coast, Walsh studied improv in Los Angeles with Bill Applebaum and appeared in several local stage productions before landing a role on General Hospital. From there he appeared in various TV and film roles including North Mission Road, 30 Rock and As the World Turns.
​
Relatively new to the audiobook industry, Walsh has narrated a wide variety of titles including the Hachette multi-voice sports memoir One Magical Sunday by Phil Mickelson. Other titles include Blackstone’s Gravity’s Century: From Einstein’s Eclipse to Images of Black Holes and Zondervan’s Life Changing Love. His voiceover work includes several corporate projects, industrial projects, TV promo spots and a film trailer.
​
While raising his family in both California and Connecticut, Walsh remains a New Yorker at heart – having graduated from Fordham University, engaged at Lincoln Center, married on Park Avenue and then becoming a Dad at Lenox Hill Hospital, not once but twice. In fact, being Matt and Tim’s Dad is “the very best role of all."
​
When he’s not busy performing, Walsh enjoys traveling with his family, coaching youth basketball and volunteering as a BookPal for the SAG Foundation. He’s also active with Saint Aloysius Church and The Gridiron Club in New Canaan, CT.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"This is a very well-written book made even more enjoyable by an excellent narrator! Narration skills are so important. if the book is not narrated well, it can destroy an audible book. I hope the narrator continues to narrate science books."
"Not a book for the impatient reader/listener. Rather amazed at this ever evolving, abstruse subject and the amount of astronomical dart throwing by so many experts. At least we can taste the complexities while the articulate book narrator leads our curiosity all the way into a black hole, providing an ending.
The narrator eased my dread from start to finish. Thanks."
"This is a good listen for many reasons. Beautifully narrated and a lovingly cooperative family journey. A glimpse into the world of medical uncertainties and determined parents. As a nurse, I am certain that medicine has limitations and horizons yet to be discovered."
