In addition to the book signing, it has been announced that Gwynn’s will be expanding with a new store in downtown Mount Pleasant set to open in 2026.
Senator Scott’s book was officially released on August 5. In One Nation Always Under God, he explores the impact of Christianity on various aspects of American society, including the legal system, education, healthcare, and social services. The book is published by Harper Collins and features profiles of significant Christian figures in American history, highlighting his mother, Frances Scott, and astronaut Jim Lovell. It is dedicated to both his mother and his wife, Mindy.
Throughout the book, Scott emphasizes the role of faith in mobilizing communities during crises, engaging with contemporary cultural discussions. He addresses the importance of religious expression in public life and responds to recent guidelines from the Trump administration that promote religious discourse among federal employees. While the book includes personal insights and experiences, it is not designed as a political memoir. Instead, it presents a collection of inspiring stories exemplifying Christian values.
Scott received an $85,000 advance from Broadside Books, a conservative imprint of Harper Collins, to publish his work. The book has garnered public endorsement from former President Donald Trump, who has praised Scott on social media platforms. Scott’s narrative reflects his beliefs in hope, family values, and empowerment rather than victimhood, as he underscores the importance of acknowledging past challenges while focusing on a brighter future.
Moreover, Scott’s writing includes a critique of media portrayals and societal perceptions of conservative Black public figures, shedding light on the unique challenges he faces due to his political beliefs. Scott, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2013, currently holds leadership positions as the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Senate Banking Committee.
This book signing event provides the Mount Pleasant community with a chance to engage directly with Senator Scott and gain insights from his experiences and recent publication, which is being described as both timely and relevant to ongoing national conversations.
