Crisis in Our Classrooms: The Lies We Tell Our Children

It has become clear o those paying attention that America is in a downward spiral of moral decay and is spinning out of control. It is time to wake up the uninformed and to expose the causes of this moral decline. The future of America is at stake, and, unfortunately, the minds of America&rsquo;s youth are the battleground. In Crisis in Our Classrooms: The Lies We Tell Our Children, author, teacher, father, and retired US Navy chief petty officer Jim Murphy presents a no-holds-barred rebuttal of America&rsquo;s secular education system, especially of the two main culprits&mdash;evolution (with no mention of Creation) and sex education. Murphy begins by exploring the untruths being spread and the methods of control used by secular institutions, but he also shows how everyone has played a part in allowing these large and entrenched special interests to take control. Through lessons designed for group or individual study, Crisis in Our Classrooms offers hope and ammunition for the struggle and the change that needs to happen as America moves forward. This change needs to happen now, before it&rsquo;s too late&mdash;parents, students, and all concerned citizens should stand united and show the educational system and historians of America that we are still accountable to a higher purpose and meaning beyond ourselves. We are still responsible for upholding the values and principles that alone can save America and her children.

From Appalachia to the White House: My Life in the Secret Service Chronicles of the Life of Joe Dye

Life on the farm in the mid-twentieth century was not one of leisure. It was hard work. And for one young boy, it was preparation for an adult career in law enforcement and government service.
 From Appalachia to the White House tells the story of Joe Dye. Born in rural southwestern Virginia, this is a story of the joys and struggles of daily farm life in the mid-twentieth century: cutting hay, making sorghum molasses, killing hogs, and growing tobacco. It is also a story of hope, as Dye did not allow a leg condition keep him from a career in Washington DC, where he was employed by the FBI, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the US Secret Service White House Police,where he served six presidents. Laugh with Dye as he describes interactions and relationships with the likes of J. Edgar Hoover, John F. Kennedy Jr., Walter Mondale, and George H. W. Bush.
 From Appalachia to the White House is entertaining and inspirational. It is also a true story of how God will provide for a life filled with many blessings.

The Journey of Life

Most people believe life to be a linear experience. They see their existence as a slow, often monotonous migration from birth to childhood, blasting through adolescence and college. Then there's the relentless strain of work, family, and the struggles life brings. Ultimately, most people have a sense there is more to come, a life beyond this treadmill-more than an existence: a fulfillment. The Journey of Life is a culmination of a project taken on by one church and its staff. Led by Dr. Glen Martin, senior pastor the Journey of Faith Church, the goal is more than a book and more than a series. The goal is to encourage people to see life as a journey and offer a community, known as Journey of Faith Church, an invitation to examine what God wants us to learn along the way. We invite you to join us through The Journey of Life. There are lessons to learn and principles to extract. After all, it is the Scriptures that teach us a heart of wisdom awaits those who learn to "number our days." Welcome to The Journey of Life.

Faith like Fire: Engulfed by a Great God

In today's world, greed, wars, and environmental disasters bring incomprehensible suffering to people everywhere, and it is sometimes hard to see the value of faith in God-especially when the encumbrances of religious traditions and church life have grown stale and no longer inspire our faith. Like us, author Pat Owens grew tired of living with mundane faith and decided to fight to know God in the fullness of His power. Faith like Fire chronicles her journey through soul-wrenching loss and debilitating disease to discovering a living and active God, giving us hope, encouragement, and the tools to experience God in our modern, everyday lives.
 Faith like Fire opens at the graveside of a cancer victim and moves through the tragic deaths of Owens loved ones. She confronts challenging questions head-on during this time: Where is God now? Is He the same God today as in the Bible? Her struggles guide us in confronting our own difficult questions.
 And when her faith's fire is lit following the miracle healing of her own incurable disease, Owens finally sees the purpose of the suffering as well as the wonderful things in this journey called life. To be engulfed by an all-consuming God is to dig deep into our core beliefs and risk shaking up our orderly faith. Are you ready to feel faith like fire and see God for who he really is?

Literature & Fiction

From the days of Adam and Eve, humans have been faced with thorns in their daily lives. These thorns come in many shapes-a nettling sin or vain hope, a thicket in which we try to hide from the judgment of God, or a crown of sacrifice displaying the grace waiting for believers. The concept of the thorn appears in the Bible many times, and by learning the true meaning of God's words, His promised grace can be ours. In From the Garden of Thorns to the Table of Grace, author, pastor, and internationally recognized theologian Dr. Tom Duff Fritts leads us in discovering the thorns in the lives of numerous biblical personalities and helps us relate these struggles to our own daily walks. Having studied Greek for over fifty years, Dr. Fritts dismisses the confusion of Christian ethics and demeanor between various sects by using the King James Version in accompaniment with Greek and Hebrew texts, which best preserve the idiom and design of those who originally inscribed the words of God. Far more than a study of scriptural linguistics, From the Garden of Thorns to the Table of Grace is for anyone interested in rightly dividing the Word of God, for anyone desiring to learn the roots of the Christian faith. With this new understanding of God's original idea for His Kingdom, we are granted power and vision in our most difficult days and can pattern our futures as well-rounded scholars of Christian grace.

Tyrone Dust: A Saga of the West Plains to Rolla Road

It is 1931 in Texas County, Missouri, and the dust storms are just beginning. With the Great Depression looming in the near future, Earl Sigler is in pursuit of Eva-the love of his life, the girl of his dreams, and the only woman who ever forbid him to kiss her on the first date. But only time will tell if Earl's misspent youth and earlier marriage of convenience will place his quest for Eva's affections in jeopardy.
 When the sudden violent deaths of his father and stepmother leave him a surrogate father to his half-siblings, Earl begins to feel inadequate. Haunted by gruesome visions of the deaths and overcome with the responsibility of being the sole breadwinner for the family, he turns to alcohol as a means of escape. But his challenges are just beginning as Eva's parents express their displeasure with their relationship. Suddenly estranged from the love of his life, Earl cannot help but wonder if God is punishing him.
 Tyrone Dust is a compelling tale that twists and turns through a time in history when life was difficult, Christian values were abundant, and when one man never stopped believing in the power of love.

How would your life change if you started seeing yourself through God's eyes instead of your own? As women, we tend to base our self-worth on our outward appearances, circumstances, past hurts-and those sleek magazine photos. When we look at ourselves through our own eyes, our distorted perception can lead to painful emotions and negative behaviors. Our days (and nights) may be filled with anxiety, depression, relational problems, eating disorders or addictive behaviors. But what if we relied on God for our worth and value instead of chasing the illusion that we could be happy if only we had the right hairstyle, right job, or right relationship? Colleen Mehrer encourages women to see themselves as God does. Unlike many self-help workshops and books, God's View of You is biblically based and begins with the belief that God is the one who determines our worth and reveals the truth about us. Colleen challenges you not only to read, but also to spend time with God as you examine your beliefs about yourself. Each section is followed by questions and exercises that will help get you started on an exciting journey. Get ready to discover. Get ready to change. Get ready to let God renew your vision of yourself! If you would like to share these biblical truths with others, God's View of You includes a leader's guide. God's View of You Student Workbooks are available for small group members.
