"Behind the Veil" is a real contribution to understanding public service in any era. However, it is especially important now. Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka worked directly with Governor Tim Walz. Reading "Behind the Veil" will give you a much better understanding of the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate.

Paul’s latest book is written from his perspective at the time as leader of the Minnesota Senate. It is a welcome and honest assessment relating to the events of the summer of 2020. It has taken courage for him to detail this report but it needs to be shared for all to see what actually happened.

Market Place Ministers by Paul Gazelka

Marketplace Ministers shares Paul’s personal discovery of how we can integrate our faith in Jesus into the workplace and community in which we live. We are all ministers of the gospel in some way, what does that look like in the place we work and live? Some refer to various spheres of influence as the seven mountains of influence, Paul simply says that living as one of God’s ministers is simply being sensitive to what is God is doing right in front of you, and joining God in His work.
