"The Christian faith is a call to adventure. Be inspired by these thirty-two saints and give thanks for their faithful stories. Now go and do likewise where God has put you. For two thousand years, Christians have accomplished glorious things. Dr. Glenn Sunshine has compiled story after story of faithful men and women of the faith. These mothers and fathers of our faith laid the foundations for science. Some were Political figures who promoted Christianity in hostile societies. Several stories include opposition to racial oppression and a few heroes who helped Jews escape the holocaust"--
Can Dad and the kids (and their pet lizard) defeat the notorious Cloud Bandit? And willl they be able to clean up before Mom gets home? Family playtime turns fantastical when sky pirates and unicorns and lightning sharks and T-Rexes come crashing into the room.
"Men and Marriage is a critical commentary that asks the burning question, How can society survive the pervasive disintegration of the family? A profound crisis faces modern social order as traditional family relationships become almost unrecognizable. George Gilder's Men and Marriage is a revised and expanded edition of his 1973 landmark work, Sexual Suicide . He examines the deterioration of the family, the well-defined sex roles it offered, and how this change has shifted the focus of our society. Poverty, for instance, stems from the destruction of the family when unmarried parents are abandoned by their lovers or older women are divorced because society approves of their husbands' younger girlfriends. Gilder claims that men will only fulfill their paternal obligations when women lead them to do so, and that this civilizing influence, balanced with proper economic support, is the most important part of maintaining a productive, healthy, loving society. He offers a concrete plan for rebuilding the family in America. His solutions challenge readers to return to these roles and reestablish the family values that were once so crucial in staving off the ills that plague our country"--
"Francis Schaeffer once said that if there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society becomes absolute. The last few decades have shown how prophetic he was. We are often warned by the media and even by Evangelical leaders that Christian nationalism and theocracy are grave dangers to our Christian witness, all while we get cancelled for explaining that boys are not girls and that we should not kill babies. In this short book, Douglas Wilson takes aim at the fundamental assumption of secularism: the idea that government can be morally and religiously neutral, extending tolerance to everyone and persecuting no one. Every nation has its religion, and the only question is whether we have a true religion that rewards the righteousness or a false one that punishes it. This book is not a call to reestablish state churches or to return to the problems of medieval Christendom. Instead, it is a call to get serious about the evils of our current secular society and it makes a scriptural case for publicly Christian governments and nations"--
America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. Once captured and enslaved in Tripoli, Thomas Watson has escaped at last and vowed never to return. Susannah Wilcox secretly longs for adventure, and is thrilled when she is sent to Naples to finish her education. Jules Monroe is freeborn, but longs to prove to himself and the wider world that he is a man, out on the sea with his cousin Samuel. Their stories all meet in 1803 aboard the Philadelphia, a 36-gun frigate. Unfortunately, the ship has fallen into the hand of Barbery pirates, and such a powerful weapon will allow them to decimate the United States' fledgling navy.
America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. Stephen Monroe is a young, zealous patriot, proud of his brother William, who is a distinguished captain in the Revolutionary War. The one thing Stephen can't understand is how his brother can kill Redcoats but despise the fiery words of other revolutionaries like Thomas Paine. When Stephen meets Lieutenant William Morris, he thinks he has found someone even more patriotic than his brother. Caught between two Williams, Stephen must realize there are two wars going on, and he must choose between his brother's or Lieutenant Morris's.
"John went down the winding stairs to the dungeon, holding the lantern above his head just to see that the dungeon really was empty, as usual. Half of it was empty as usual. But the other side was not empty. It was quite full, and what it was full of was Dragon."This collection of delightful fairy tales sparkles with E. Nesbit's characteristic wit and charm, in bite-sized pieces that are perfect for bedtime. Follow a child king pulled from his nursery after the death of his great-great-however-many-grandfather, or two children on a quest to save England from a dragon infestation. Explore backwards islands, climb dragon-proof towers, and meet the cockatrice. Each tale is awash with humor and insight and dragon-slaying, and will leave you thundering for more.
America and her ships may change, but the Monroe boys are always drawn to the sea. When John Monroe saves a mother and daughter from the clutches of a rogue English soldier, he is thrust into a world of intrigue and espionage. It's the height of the French and Indian war. In possession of a letter that exposes British troop movements, John must race to deceive the French before the rogue soldier can catch up to him and provide the actual intelligence the French need.
In Letter of Consolation, Pierre Viret--John Calvin's friend and a forgotten hero of the Reformation--comforts and encourages his people through intense persecution. This book is a new translation of Viret's writing during seasons of Roman Catholic oppression and up to the legalization of Protestant worship in France in 1559. The Letter explores not only the Protestant Christian response to tyranny and hardship, but also how to maintain faith as persecution recedes. As Viret wrote, "Let us always be like those who sail at sea. If no wind is blowing now, let us be even more careful and prepared for storms and tribulations."
