About
Former Special Assistant to President Trump, New York Times bestselling author, and evangelical Christian Cliff Sims shares the lessons he learned on faith, persecution, and politics while working in the halls of power.
We are living through a unique moment in American life in which politics has consumed everything. Even some of our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda.
So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we respond when we find our beliefs to be more and more at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of the world are there in front of us at every turn?
As the son of a Baptist minister, Cliff Sims grew up in the church, but while working in the highest levels of American politics, he continuously wrestles with how to live out his faith. As a presidential campaign advisor, a close aide to the President, and the right hand to America's "top spy," Sims experienced firsthand the cutthroat world of power politics, an environment that can test the character of any follower of Jesus.
In this book, Cliff shares lessons on faith and politics, power and persecution, weakness and grace, giving practical advice for how to let the light of Christ shine in our dark world. Recounting stories from inside the highest levels of the government-including about what's inside the President's "Nuclear Football, " top secret bunkers, the West Wing, and Air Force One-Sims offers biblical insight showing that despite the darkness, light has prevailed.
The Darkness Has Not Overcome is a must-read for every Christian who has found themselves exasperated by politics, fearful about the future, or discouraged by the times in which we live.
Cliff Sims is one of the most sought after political, communications and policy advisors in the United States, counting major political figures, media personalities, and corporate executives among his clients. After joining the Trump campaign in 2016, he was appointed Special Assistant to the President, working closely with President Trump through some of his administration's most impactful successes. His memoir recounting the early days of the Trump White House, titled Team of Vipers, became an instant New York Times bestseller. He then went on to serve again in the Trump Administration as Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Strategy and Communications, helping to oversee the 18 agencies of the U.S. intelligence community. Outside of politics and government, he has founded and served as CEO of multiple private companies. He lives with his wife and son in Birmingham, Alabama.
