Jesus told His Disciples, “You must be as wise as Serpents and as innocent as Doves.” That’s great advice for those whofollow a path into politics. But Jesus also has life changing advice for us, saying, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” My good friend, Tom Russo, realized that a few years ago, and his book, There Are No Politics In Heaven, chronicles Tom’sjourney of faith. As a fellow “Recovering Politician,” I heartily recommend it!

Whether it be yin or yang, good or bad, id or ego, life is full of drives and forces; leaving a plethora of choices (big and small) to be made. Knowing Tom for years and seeing, first hand, the impact of some of those choices makes this book even more special to me. There Are No Politics In Heaven is the “behind the music” story of a dedicated public servant and, in this well- written tale, you will read about spiritual redemption from pride, gluttony, envy and more. Are you truly interested in service to others over self or is something else behind your actions? Read this book and I am confident you’ll find out!

What do you really want out of life? In his frank and honest discussion, Tom Russo shows us how chasing the world’s idea of success leaves you unfulfilled. With drive and determination, you can accomplish anything; but will you be happy with what you achieve? Sometimes, you climb the ladder of success only to find out it is leaning against the wrong wall. He went the long route but is finally at the right destination.

Learn from the mistakes of others; you don’t have time to make them all yourself. It’s all in Tom’s book. Get your copy today and save yourself a lot of grief!

Tom’s book is both a candid account of his own journey and generous effort to share his wisdom with others. Readers will find themselves as they follow Tom on his path to becoming a better Christian man.

With engaging vulnerability, Tom Russo tells his story, which is uniquely his and, at the same time, has touching points to yours and mine. Well-written turn-around stories, like this one, are not just entertaining and inspiring — they are prophetic as they lightly admonish us to see a better life we can, and should, live. Tom also shares insightful perspectives on some of life’s most important topics. Enjoy, learn and improve — There Are No Politics In Heaven could well be your turning point.

There Are No Politics In Heaven is a must read for anyone looking for a life-changing experience. I have known Tom Russo and his family for over thirty years. He was my Chief of Staff at a 330-member law enforcement agency. Throughout his career, Tom has consistently demonstrated the importance of service over self, public service over politics. This book is a pleasure to read and is a game-changer for those who are willing to look in the mirror and make the difficult and necessary changes in their life with Tom’s wisdom, experience and guidance.

Raw, vulnerable, telling yet redemptive, hopeful and faith-filled. This is Tom’s story, his God-story, and can be your inspirational story, too!
