Hope for We by Senator James Lankford
“TURNAROUND is a powerful challenge from my friend Senator James Lankford to pay more attention to who we are, rather than just what we do. James’ practical leadership ideas will encourage you to live your faith and find impactful ways to serve our community and our great nation. Every chapter is packed with history, humor and inspiration to be part of our national turnaround.“—MIKE POMPEO “Senator James Lankford lives his faith with humility, grace, collegiality, and authenticity. In this book he adroitly puts his finger precisely on the key to change and revival in our country. The key is US. This book is both a challenge and a chance for us to reflect and act.”—TREY GOWDY “To turnaround our country we are tempted to spend our energy fighting darkness, but you can’t turn down darkness, you can only turn up light. In a dark room, you look for the light switch, not the dark switch. For some reason, that simple truth seems to escape us when we think about people and problems. If you want less darkness, turn up more light.” —Senator James Lankford Americans live in the greatest representative republic in the history of the planet which is defined each day by “We the People.” Everyday, the nation is US. When we look in our national mirror, if we don’t like what we see, we should do what it takes to improve our reflection. TURNAROUND is a journey book, filled with ancient truths, our modern division, personal faith, true stories, a case study on immigration politics, and a lesson about the bees that will kill you. The pages are a celebration of our freedom and a challenge to reconnect to our faith and do something significant with our lives. The stories are deeply personal and practical. TURNAROUND challenges us to step up and do something when we see the nation is drifting. We should not just allow cultural gravity to win. Each of us get the choice everyday to do the right thing, the right way. Let’s pray and get to work on our national turnaround.“TURNAROUND is a powerful challenge from my friend Senator James Lankford to pay more attention to who we are, rather than just what we doJames’ practical leadership ideas will encourage you to live your faith and find impactful ways to serve our community and our great nation.

“The best sermons are seen, not just heard. Senator James Lankford lives his faith with humility, grace, collegiality, and authenticity. In this book he adroitly puts his finger precisely on the key to change and revival in our country. The key is US. This book is both a challenge and a chance for us to reflect and act.”
—TREY GOWDY, lawyer, former Congressman, #1 New York Times bestselling author, and host of FOX Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy
“It’s encouraging when politicians of any party or group pursue policies that benefit Americans and strengthen families. My friend Senator James Lankford is a man of high character and deep Christian commitment. TURNAROUND offers an impactful message that transcends politics and that will resonate with every American who values faith, family, and freedom. There’s no question America is facing daunting challenges, but those challenges are not insurmountable. I appreciate James' clarion call to recommit ourselves to those foundational values upon which our country was founded and which transcend politics.”
—JIM DALY, president and CEO of Focus on the Family and author of Finding Home
“In the cynicism that has taken over the U.S., a common cliche is that all the politicians are out for themselves. No one who knows Senator James Lankford has ever said that. James’ folksy stories of finding common ground in the airport with a political opponent or shopping for toilets at Home Depot is the James I know. This book is good old fashioned government, 'by the people'. It’s a great and enlightening read. James is at the highest level of leadership in the most powerful country in the world, yet he’s truly one of us. He’s not looking down from an ivory tower, he’s hanging out at Home Depot.”
—KEN HARRISON, CEO of WaterStone, former CEO of Promise Keepers and author of Rise of the Servant Kings
SENATOR JAMES LANKFORD (OKLAHOMA CITY, OK & WASHINGTON DC) is a strong conservative and servant leader committed to God, family, and the Constitution. Before being elected to the House of Representatives in 2010 and the Senate in 2014, he served families for over two decades in youth ministry, including 15 years as the Director of Student Ministry for the Baptist Convention of Oklahoma and Director of the Falls Creek Youth Camp, the largest youth camp in the United States, with more than 51,000 individuals attending each summer.
James is focused on solving the problems and improving the lives of all Americans. He is a proud conservative, but he has earned the respect of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle for his knowledge on the pressing issues facing the country.
While remaining passionate about life, religious liberty, and traditional family values, James has become a strong voice for fiscal discipline and accountability in the federal government. He fights the government regulations that are suffocating businesses and weakening the economy. Senator Lankford has continued to fight for Oklahoma's workers and small businesses throughout the pandemic.
In 2020, he was awarded the "Guardian of the Small Business" award and the "Taxpayer Superhero" award from Citizens Against Government Waste. James was the Senate's top-ranked "Taxpayers Friend" by the National Taxpayers Union for his strong record in support of lower taxes, limited government, and economic freedom. He has an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association.
James currently serves as Vice Chair of the Senate Republican Conference and as Chair of the Senate Ethics Committee, as well as on the Committee on Finance, and on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Before the Senate, James served in the US House of Representatives from 2011 to 2014 where he was elected by his peers to serve as the Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee for the 113th Congress because of his work behind the scenes to push the Republican Conference toward conservative solutions.
Before Congress, James served in student ministry for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma and as the director of the Falls Creek Youth Camp from 1995 to 2009. James is unashamedly Christian in his worldview and daily life. He enjoys spending time with his family, sport shooting, working in his yard and reading.
James has been married to Cindy for 30 years. Together, they have two wonderful daughters: Hannah and Jordan.
The author lives & works in Oklahoma City, OK and Washington, D.C.
