I picked this book up at the library on a whim. It turned out to be so good I bought a copy. It's now required reading for our family. The author does such a good job of presenting truth in a practical way to help equip parents to do their job.

This is a great book for helping you slow down in life, eliminating what's not important, and focusing on finding peaceful quality in your life regardless of where you're at. It helped me remind myself of not getting caught in the vortex of current culture.

This is a fun little history book that looks at the account of modern man from a different perspective. It's heavy enough to have satisfying substance yet light enough to not bore you with details.

This book addresses our divisions in a very calm and calculated manner.
Anyone who's willing to consider the opinions and beliefs of others will benefit from this book. If you're not willing then it's not for you.

I did find the explanation of how we can better understand each other refreshing.

The real puzzle is why people are willing to follow."
