Illinois Family Institute’s annual banquet is only one month away and we are close to selling out!

The largest gathering of Christian conservatives in the Land of Lincoln will take place on Friday, November 3rd at the Bolingbrook Country Club! Join us on this special night to hear from our keynote speaker, the ineffable Eric Metaxas, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Martin Luther, If You Can Keep It, Bonhoeffer, Amazing Grace, and Miracles.

In April 2015, Metaxas began hosting “The Eric Metaxas Show,” which is syndicated by the Salem Radio Network and broadcast from the Empire State Building. In 2012, Metaxas was the keynote speaker for the National Prayer Breakfast, an event attended by President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, members of Congress, and other U.S. and world leaders. If you have not watched this, you really should!

Eric’s commentaries, humorous writings, book and movie reviews, and poetry have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and National Review. His Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God” is the most popular and shared piece in the history of the Journal.

He has written more than thirty children’s books, including the bestsellers Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving and It’s Time to Sleep, My Love, which has sold nearly 1 million copies.

Metaxas is the founder and host of Socrates in the City: Conversations on the Examined Life, an interview series of “entertaining and thought-provoking discussions on ‘life, God, and other small topics’” featuring such guests as Malcolm Gladwell, Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel, Francis Collins, Sir John Polkinghorne, Peter Hitchens, Baroness Caroline Cox, and Dick Cavett.

Letter to The American Church is his most recent published book. It is a clarion call to believers across the nation not to repeat the mistakes of German Christians during the rise of the Third Reich. Read more about it HERE.

Join us on November 3rd as we strive to be salt and light in Illinois and work for a culture that upholds the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, and limited government.

Sponsorship packages and program advertisements for this great evening are still available, but only for a short time.

We are getting close to being sold out.
