Children are often taught that government protects our life, liberty, and property, but could it be true that some laws actually allow people to hurt us and take our things?

What do history's most notorious despots have in common with many of the flag-waving, patriotic politicians of our day? Both groups rise to power through the exploitation of fear. Sometimes the fear derives from a pre-existing threat. At other times, crises are created or intensified to invoke a sense of panic and anxiety where none previously existed. This pattern is as predictable as it is destructive. The end result is the same: a loss of liberty. Policies that are costly, oppressive, and harmful are supported by people who abandon any interest in freedom or personal responsibility in hopes of feeling safe. Manufactured fear, with its negative impact on liberty, is a societal plague. There have been widespread casualties. We need an antidote. Feardom offers its readers a much-needed immunization.

Liberty is a fundamental and eternal principle, but it cannot exist without its counterpart—personal responsibility. Latter-day Responsibility describes in detail the many responsibilities we each must perform if we truly wish to defend individual liberty in these latter days. From self-defense and self-reliance, to faith, family, and financial freedom, Latter-day Responsibility pinpoints precise actions needed from each of us if liberty is to successfully be preserved. A book written specifically for our time, Latter-day Responsibility is a compelling and detailed analysis of what the gospel of Jesus Christ requires us each to do to advance the cause of liberty. It is a necessary addition to any library. "How refreshing it is for voters in this year of Mitt Romney to have a voice that is both Mormon and libertarian. Here is that voice: Clear, compelling, full of faith, and understanding the need for limited government. Connor Boyack's "Latter Day Responsibility" should be on Gov. Romney's desk and the Governor should read it for its extraordinary explanation of the shared values of Christianity, Mormonism, and personal freedom. This book will open your eyes to a well-spring of western religious values which recognize the primacy of the individual over the state and insist that the government do the same." --Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News Channel "Many patriotic Americans demand a more limited government, but few seem to have figured out the path to reach that goal. Connor Boyack's important book explains in simple and compelling terms that limited government and liberty will be obtained through personal responsibility. The duty to take care of ourselves and those around us must be lived, encouraged, and popularized if we are to create a free society. Latter-day Responsibility helps pave the way for a restoration of this primary virtue." --John Pestana, co-founder, Omniture "America's responsibility deficit is a more pressing challenge than anything we face in the economy, energy, education, or defense. Citizens must renew an individual ethic of doing the right thing by choice. People of faith, including my Mormon friends, understand this -- but we need a sense of urgency and an action plan. Connor Boyack's wise, timely, and practical book provides exactly that." --John Andrews, former Colorado Senate President and author of Responsibility Reborn: A Citizen's Guide to the Next American Century "Connor Boyack makes a compelling case for a return to personal responsibility as the bedrock principle needed to maintain the best virtues of our society. In this highly readable and informative book, he explains why our desire for preserving freedom will not become a reality until we first emphasize the importance of personal responsibility. We will secure freedom for future generations, Boyack writes, by first taking care of ourselves and those around us--a forgotten virtue that once permeated our culture. The battle for keeping our freedom alive and vibrant will not be won in the halls of Congress, he claims, but in the hearts and homes of every individual. Boyack's new book speaks to the heart of those who respect the role a spiritual perspective towards preserving freedom plays." --Daniel L. Bolz, president, The Statue of Responsibility Foundation

Christ's teachings serve as a reference point for our behavior; we may stray from the path, but He shows ushow to return. Unfortunately, many followers have blinded themselves to some of the plain teachings ofJesus Christ pertaining to political matters. Our task is to open our eyes and return to the straight and narrowpath. Let's proceed on that journey together.

Individual liberty is a fundamental aspect of the good news of the gospel. But what is liberty exactly, and what role does it play in our lives? Connor Boyack explores these questions and much more in this detailed analysis of historical developments, secular information, and scriptural insights. The war in heaven continues on earth today, and our agency and liberty are under attack. Arm yourself with the truth by reading this timely book. Advance praise for Latter-day Liberty: Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), Author, Liberty Defined: "Connor Boyack has written a fascinating book that applies Mormon theology to the central question of statism vs. liberty that dominates our age. Latter-day Liberty provides an insightful analysis of both historical and modern political issues, and challenges the reader to reconcile religious beliefs with state actions. Not surprisingly, he finds that our federal government routinely violates the religious principles that many Mormons hold dear. "Those who advocate limited government necessarily must advocate strong religious, civic, and social institutions. These institutions, rather than the state, should act as the central organizing mechanisms in American society. For this reason Latter-day Liberty can appeal to readers who are not Mormon, but simply recognize that their relationship with God compels them to question their relationship with the state." Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D., Author, Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century: "Only someone knowledgeable in theology, U.S. history, constitutional law, and political philosophy could have taken on a task like Latter-day Liberty. Connor Boyack has proven that he more than fits that bill. The sheer weight of his evidence and the unfailing rigor of his arguments -- even when dealing with the hard cases, which Boyack courageously and persuasively confronts -- practically compel the reader to embrace liberty (the real thing, not the watered-down version peddled by most politicians) as the highest political good. A stellar achievement." Greg Wright, Author, Satan's War on Free Agency: "I will never view political issues the same after reading this book. Latter-day Liberty makes a convincing argument for applying gospel principles to politics. If it is read with an open mind, anybody will be well educated!" Doug French, President, Ludwig von Mises Institute: "Latter-day Liberty couldn't be more timely. This poignant book serves as a wake-up call for Latter-day Saints, with Boyack and leaders of the LDS Church eloquently making the case for individual liberty." Jack Monnett, Ph.D., Author, Awakening to Our Awful Situation: In Latter-day Liberty, Connor Boyack has presented a most articulate and historically accurate presentation of the foundational views of Joseph Smith, other leaders of the LDS Church, and our Founding Fathers. In a world of politically charged confusion, Latter-day Saints would do well to read and understand the roots of agency, government responsibility, and individual liberty that Boyack so clearly outlines. Sheriff Richard Mack, Author, The Proper Role of Law Enforcement: This book provides a thorough and compelling analysis of liberty, which is a subject too often ignored in government today. Well sourced and engaging, Latter-day Liberty is a must-read for every Latter-day Saint. Jonathan E. Johnson III, President, Overstock.com: In Latter-day Liberty, Connor Boyack has done a great service by researching and compiling teachings on the principles of liberty from the Founding Fathers and the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a concise, well-written, and informative way. His application of these teachings to current political issues is both thought provoking and enlightening - even for those who may disagree with his applications. Those who value agency and love liberty will find Latter-day Liberty a book well worth reading.

Why You Need This Book Do you need parenting advice on how to inspire your child to love learning? Whether you homeschool or send your kids to public or private school, this is essential reading for your situation. Why? Because schooling has become a disaster. Your child's interests and uniqueness are disregarded, and structured curriculum and standards like Common Core place them on a conveyor belt that treats all children the same. This system crushes a child's curiosity. Your child deserves better! There is a better way: one that ensures your child sees learning as a joy and provides you, the parent, with a much less stressful way to educate and empower your son or daughter. In this book, Connor Boyack shares the exciting philosophy and empowering day-to-day steps involved in passion-driven education. A child's curiosity and natural desire to learn are like a tiny flame, easily extinguished unless it's protected and given fuel. This book will help you as a parent both protect that flame of curiosity and supply it with the fuel necessary to make it burn bright throughout your child's life. Let's ignite our children's natural love of learning! Five Things Discussed in the Book <ul>
<li>
What's the problem with schools? Whether public, private, or "home," schooling is structured in a way that has significant negative outcomes for children academically, psychologically, and emotionally. To understand the solutions, you first need to review these problems.</li>
<li>
What's your goal? Too many parents simply send their children to school out of ritual and expectation, without thinking about the end result. Caring parents must ponder the outcomes of education and what they want their children to become. Once goals are established, we can make a plan.</li>
<li>
I need solutions! It's easy to point out problems with schooling. It's more important that we review serious and attainable solutions that can help you educate your child and preserve (or restore) their natural love of learning.</li>
<li>
What are the alternatives? If schools are inherently problematic and crush a child's curiosity, what can be done? We'll review several differing approaches to education that incorporate some of the solutions listed earlier.</li>
<li>
Passion-driven education The best way to educate a child is to speak to them in a language they already understand, using their personal interests as a "hook" to make other subjects interesting and relevant. We'll review some examples and then give you an action plan.</li>
