BookExpo Book and Author Luncheon

A panel of authors talked about their books, as well as current events and other issues. Mr. Lamb moderated the discussion. Among the topics addressed were the role of religion in politics, the impact of the death of former President Ronald Reagan, and the situation in Iraq.
