Jonathan Bartho's Whistling Dixie explores the interdependent political relationship between Ronald Reagan and the white conservative South-a relationship that had a profound impact on Reagan's own career, on the political landscape of the South and the entire United States, and on the identity of the modern Republican Party. Millions of southerners were attracted to the GOP by Reagan's anti-statist ideology and their affection for the man himself-an affection that had been built over decades of appearances in the region. The support of these white southern conservatives was crucial to Reagan's political success, ultimately propelling him to the White House in 1980. Conversely, by supporting Reagan's presidential campaigns, southern conservatives were able to influence the direction of the Republican Party and begin restoring their region to a position of power in Washington.
Bartho deftly provides a new perspective on Reagan's political career and the Republican Party of the Reagan era while detailing the often-rancorous philosophical differences between Reaganism and southern conservatism and the resulting political conflicts. Whistling Dixie highlights a divide in the Republican Party and in American conservatism that has often been overlooked-a divide that laid the foundations for the GOP's southernization and ultimately led to the rise of Donald Trump.
A case study written by Tom Armentrout on the truth surrounding a popular subject of the End Times events, the Rapture. The first installment of the “Whole Truth” series, intended to reveal the Truth written throughout Scripture.
After receiving what he believes to be a dream from the Lord that challenged his beliefs about Prophecy and the Rapture, he began to do a thorough investigation of Scripture for the truth about the Rapture and the End Times. With the Lord guiding him on this study, he is now convinced that Scripture paints a clear picture of the Truth about the Rapture and confirmed what the Lord showed him in his dream. To best present his research, this study is laid out in a complete series of questions covering all the important topics surrounding the Rapture.
There are ten major questions covered in this study to reveal the truth about the Rapture, and many other topics surrounding the Rapture, the End Times, and the warnings in Scripture about the Great Tribulation.
The book is a 'how-to' manual in procuring wealth, strictly on biblical tenets-an expose on Deuteronomy 8:18 and related biblical passages. God's people are instructed to remember (Heb. zakar meaning to 'treat God most worthy') Him, since He is the One to give them the power (Heb. koch) to get wealth. The word koch is the foundation of this revolutionary concept. It is fascinating, carrying eight nuances (according to the Brown, Driver and Briggs Hebrew-English Lexicon), depicting God's multi-facetted channels of release of Kingdom wealth to His people. Explore them in one of the most complete well-balanced and practical discourses on biblical wealth ever published. Also, discover the real secret behind the success of Jabez's prayer, and how to command your morning.
AN INFANTRYMAN'S UNVARNISHED TRUTH ABOUT MODERN WARFARE
The fight for the 'White School' during Operation MEDUSA in Afghanistan was the fiercest combat the Canadian Army had seen since the Korean War. Chief Warrant Officer John G. Barnes was in the thick of it as the Company Sergeant Major of Charles Company, 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment.
Barnes's extremely frank and highly detailed memoir is a fast-paced tale of courage, loss, and eventual redemption that feels like someone telling you their story across the kitchen table. Above all else, this book tells the unvarnished truth of the modern-day veteran experience from a senior non-commissioned officer's point of view.
Many, including those who profess the Christian faith, don't have a thorough understanding of what Jesus taught on certain issues. Many seem to think that Christianity supports racism, condones slavery and the oppression of women. I wrote this book to shed light on the truth about what Jesus taught and delve into the issues that affect our society today as much as it did 2,000 years ago. This book focuses on the influence and legacy of Jesus' life and teachings, particularly on topics such as; Women, Slavery, Racism, Politics, Ethics & Morality, Love and Religion. I delve into the not-so-obvious truths that might otherwise be overlooked. I also explain the meaning and context of some of the questionable passages that seem to contradict Jesus' teachings. While Jesus is both divine and human, I focus on Jesus–the man–his human side, appealing to people of all faiths and none.

The first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent's ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life
Part memoir, part history, part political manifesto, Seeking Social Democracy offers the first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent's ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life. In dialogue with three collaborators from different generations, Broadbent leads listeners through a life spent fighting for equality in Parliament and beyond: exploring the formation of his social democratic ideals, his engagement on the international stage, and his relationships with historical figures from Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro to Tommy Douglas, Rene Levesque, and Willy Brandt. From the formative minority Parliament of 1972-1974 to the contentious national debate over Canada's constitution to the free trade election of 1988, the book chronicles the life and thought of one of Canada's most respected political leaders and public intellectuals from his childhood in 1930s Oshawa to the present day. Broadbent's analysis also points toward the future, offering lessons to a new generation on how principles can inform action and social democracy can look beyond neoliberalism. The result is an engaging, timely, and sweeping analysis of Canadian politics, philosophy, and the nature of democratic leadership.

When R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. was a conservative college student in 1968, he watched as Senator Robert Kennedy gave a rousing campaign speech. When Senator Kennedy asked him, 'How do we get out of here?' Tyrrell-the only other person onstage-not only escorted the candidate to his car but boldly pressed a 'Reagan for President' button into the legendary Democrat's hand.
This early, irreverent political prank marked Tyrrell's entrance into what would become a decades-long engagement at the heart of American politics as founder and publisher of the legendary conservative magazine, the American Spectator. Tyrrell has now written a candid memoir of those tumultuous years, complete with fascinating-and often, uproarious-behind-the-scenes vignettes of the turbulent politics and the most prominent political and literary personalities of the era, including the Spectator's furious political battles with Bill Clinton, the author's close association with Ronald Reagan, his warm relations and competition with William F. Buckley of the National Review, his friendship with a post-presidential Richard Nixon, and the chaotic years of Donald Trump's presidency.
Written in Tyrrell's trademark satirical style, How Do We Get Out of Here? is an invaluable and intimate recount of the political and cultural battles that shaped our contemporary politics.
As rural America continues to undergo massive economic and demographic shifts, rural churches are uniquely positioned to provide community leadership. Leading a rural congregation requires a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing these communities, as well as a strong theological and community-focused identity. Allen T. Stanton describes how in establishing this identity, rural leaders build a meaningful and vital ministry.
Reclaiming Rural explores the myths and realities of rural places, and how those common narratives impact the leadership of rural churches. Ultimately, rural congregations must practice a contextual understanding of vitality, which understands both the strengths and challenges of leading in a rural setting.
Arguing for a practice of evangelism imbued with this mission of vitality, Reclaiming Rural promotes the church as a leader in economic and community development, modeled upon a Wesleyan theology of grace. Acknowledging the many challenges facing rural churches, this book is an energetic and encouraging guide to overcoming social and economic obstacles to build a thriving congregation.
The time has come to acknowledge that America is weathering the worst mass border migration event in the nation's history. Millions of foreign nationals have overrun the southern border, starting on Inauguration Day in 2021, and millions more will cross over by the end of President Joe Biden's term in 2024. This event is historic by all measures, exceeding even the storied chronicles of Ellis Island, and portends the same permanent change for the nation. Unfortunately, a fog of a fierce partisan information war obscures that it is even happening. Radical ideologues, whose ideas even the modern Democratic Party had always rejected, gained power in 2021 and, with impunity, implemented an extreme reality-divorced theology about immigration. Americans never voted for their experiment or the irrevocable consequences that immediately waylaid a surprised nation.
But the American electorate has upcoming chances in the election booth to reclaim their say. This book provides what is needed now: reporting-based analysis that will lay bare this crushing ongoing emergency's causes, dimensions, and chaotic impacts so as to finally illuminate the pathway out of it. It is a true story that can be found nowhere else because it comes from the author's frontline reportage throughout the borderlands and all along the migration trails in Central America from its first days.
