(Simi Valley, CA) — I want to thank John Heubusch, the executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute, and Joanne Drake, the Reagan Library’s chief of staff, for inviting me to speak at and to tour this extraordinary museum.
As someone who greatly admired America’s 40th president — both for his deeply-hold religious and political convictions, as well as his gracious and winsome manner, even with his strongest opponents — it was both a joy and an honor I will never forget.
Before a lively and engaged crowd of more than 300 guests, Joanne interviewed me about my life as a novelist, as a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, my interactions with American and world leaders, my interest in and knowledge about President Reagan, as well as my Evangelical faith and how it informs my work as an author and speaker. Then we spent nearly a third of the evening fielding wonderfully perceptive questions from the audience.

Also: I’ve posted many pictures from my tour of the Reagan Library museum — including me on Reagan’s actual Air Force One, next to his Marine One helicopter, and so forth — on our Epicenter Team Facebook page, as well as on Twitter. Please check those out. And do make plans to visit the Reagan Library soon with family and friends. It’s a wonderful experience and very, very well done.
