WHAT WOULD LOVE DO? An interview with Lisa Venable about her new book, God for President: Remember Love by Tim Miejan  "The fate of the world is at stake, so...God is running for U.S. President. And She's a Woman!" reads the back-cover teaser to the new soft-cover novel, God for President: Remember Love (iUniverse, 2004), written by Minneapolis native Lisa Venable, a speaker, psychotherapist and spiritual director of Agape Sanctuary. And indeed, in the guise of Mary Love, God not only announces Her candidacy for president, but proceeds to totally transform the entire process, from whistle-stop campaign to national debate.
