A former U.S. diplomat with a 36-year career in the State Department — serving in over 60 countries — McCall has lived his faith in both academia and international diplomacy. Now, as an author, he shares a deeply personal and spiritually rich portrayal of David’s life and legacy.This conversation explores leadership, faith under pressure, moral failure, redemption, and what it means to finish well.AMAZONhttps://louismccallinternational.com/https://www.kingpagespress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/21826kpp1.mp3
