A true story of the miraculous creation of a college in a remote mountain valley at the turn of the 19th century and the captivating characters who, with the grace of God, made it happen: The Methodist circuit rider, still in his 20s, who came into the valley on a mule, bringing only a dream and the fierce faith of an Old Testament prophet. The wise, resourceful, soft-spoken widow who breathed life into the infant school not once, but twice. The wealthy Methodist layman whose generosity for Christian education was so great that his kin sued him because they felt left out. The college president, a Shakespearean scholar, who was more at home on the farm with his britches rolled up and shirt tail flapping.

Do the scare tactics, deceptions, and distortions of politics frustrate you? Have you grown cynical about the lack of real-issue leadership in Washington? Do you often feel as if politicians are talking down to you—that they think you’re stupid? Well, that is how politics-as-usual makes Herman Cain feel.In They Think You’re Stupid, Cain proposes an action plan to help the marginalized voter find a true voice in the political process. At the same time, he offers political party leaders an avenue back to the heart of American democracy—the voters.Cain identifies a new voter phenomenon occurring across the nation. Displaced Democrats, rebellious Republicans, irate Independents, and registered non-voters sitting on the sidelines are refusing to strongly identify with either political party. They Think You’re Stupid provides insightful analysis of the factors that have led to what he terms the “politically homeless.” While Democrats are on the road to irrelevancy, Cainbelieves that Republicans have an opportunity to capture the loyalty of this growing segment of America.From the perspective of a successful businessman, They Think You’re Stupid offers hope for the disenfranchised voter and commonsense advice to the Republican Party. Cain explains, “The Republicans have a unique opportunity to dominate the political landscape for decades if they do a better job of reaching out to the party outsiderswith results, rather than waiting for outsiders to reach in.” Cain sees a new day in American politics, and that day must include a voice for the politically homeless.

In On My Honor, Texas governor Rick Perry, through the legacy of the Boy Scouts of America, takes dead aim at the moral relativism of the secular humanist movement, indicting its corrosive impact on the culture. Examining the left’s legal assaults on the Boy Scouts of America – which span more than 30 years – Perry offers prescient insight into this multi-faceted war, which pits the proponents of traditional American values against the radical leftist movement that seeks to tear down our social foundations. On My Honor underscores the depth to which the culture warriors of the left will go to force their secular humanist minority view upon American society and revered American institutions. It is a revealing look at a culture war that rages close to the surface of American life, and it is a must read for any American concerned that our society is slipping from the high moral ground of liberty to the valley of license.
