CROSBY, Texas, March 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Within the
pages of Ronnie Mitchem's new book,
The Cost of Colors ($15.49,
paperback, 9781545664001; $25.49,
hardcover, 9781545664018; $7.99,
ebook, 9781545664025), readers will find a book that tells the 2017
story of two teenage football players who protested during the
National Anthem against the wishes of their coach, Ronnie Mitchem—a
former Marine and church pastor who believes in showing respect for
the flag and all that it represents. When Mitchem removed the boys
from his football team, the media shoved him into the public arena
of national debate to defend his faith in God and his love for
America.
"We live in a time when our country is sorely divided; some even
describe it as another civil war only instead of between North and
South, it's left against right," says Mitchem. Every day in the
news there are more conservative casualties—coaches, teachers, and
students whose jobs and reputations are critically injured because
they stood for American and Christian values. Ronnie Mitchem stood against kneeling during the
National Anthem and found himself in a fierce fight for his
integrity, reputation, and even his life. What happened to
Ronnie Mitchem could happen to
anyone who was raised to love and respect America.
Almost hourly, we see on the news highly paid celebrities,
sports figures, and politicians using their televised and social
media platforms to spread an anti-American gospel—a rewritten
version of our country's identity and history. Socialism's song is
now playing in our country, and conservatives who refuse to kneel
during the lyrics, standing instead for American and Christian
values, are cursed and targeted for character assassination.
Ronnie Mitchem was raised to love
and respect America. He is a pastor with more than 25 years of
experience and has led five different churches in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, including Victory & Praise Worship
Center, which he founded in 2004. As an evangelist, Mitchem has
preached across the continental United
States and abroad. Mitchem's life experiences as a former US
Marine and businessman enrich his calling and preaching style,
which God has anointed to reach thousands for the cause of Christ
in churches, on the street, and inside prisons.
