More God, Less Crime - Part 1 with Guest Dr. Byron Johnson

Blackballed for his faith early in his academic career, Dr. Byron Johnson, author of "More God, Less Crime," did not shy away or stand down from his outspoken Christian worldview. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the Hon. Michele Bachmann talks with Dr. Johnson about his time as a university professor on secular campuses. Even in the face of such discrimination against people of faith, God blessed Dr. Johnson’s earnest research which culminated in his meteoric rise in the world of academia. The words of the Bible will not be silenced!
