Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspended precariously in the middle of this epic struggle is freedom itself. Yet only one God can prevail: either the creator of a new future envisioned by an enslaved people and their Northern allies, or the lord of a dark past to which white Southerners are fiercely devoted. For Baptists, the dividing line runs right through the Bible. Southern biblical conservatism is firmly rooted in America's racist past, while a future of racial equality hinges upon a newer understanding of Accoscriptural interpretation unfettered by the chains of biblical literalism.

Book excerpt: In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag."

In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As America approaches her 250th birthday, she is also approaching a fork in the road. The choice before us is moral and boils down to two terms: liberty or social justice? We cannot have both. This book, written by a Swedish immigrant, lays out the moral case for returning America to the Christian, libertarian values that the Founding Fathers wrote into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. These values guarantee liberty and opportunity, but they also require responsible citizenship in return. In understanding the latter, we can resurrect the former. By contrast, the failure to understand responsible citizenship and its critical role in defending liberty opens the door for America to irrevocably change character. Our country is already on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged egalitarian welfare state, defined not by liberty, but by the endless pursuit of social justice. As this book explains, there is a path back to freedom, one illuminated by faith, paved with practical, sensible policy reforms and traveled by people ready to exercise responsible citizenship.

Download or read book Sacred Liberty written by Steven Waldman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Liberty offers a dramatic, sweeping survey of how America built a unique model of religious freedom, perhaps the nation’s “greatest invention.” Steven Waldman, the bestselling author of Founding Faith, shows how early ideas about religious liberty were tested and refined amidst the brutal persecution of Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Quakers, African slaves, Native Americans, Muslims, Jews and Jehovah’s Witnesses. American leaders drove religious freedom forward--figures like James Madison, George Washington, the World War II presidents (Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower) and even George W. Bush. But the biggest heroes were the regular Americans – people like Mary Dyer, Marie Barnett and W.D. Mohammed -- who risked their lives or reputations by demanding to practice their faiths freely. Just as the documentary Eyes on the Prize captured the rich drama of the civil rights movement, Sacred Liberty brings to life the remarkable story of how America became one of the few nations in world history that has religious freedom, diversity and high levels of piety at the same time. Finally, Sacred Liberty provides a roadmap for how, in the face of modern threats to religious freedom, this great achievement can be preserved.
Download or read book Crucible of Faith written by Vern Pace and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneer family struggles against natural and man-made obstacles on a torturous, adventure-filled trek in the mid-1800s. Idealism motivated the Weston family to join Joseph Smith and the Mormons in Nauvoo, Illinois. Realism-mostly, threats of annihilation-made them leave Nauvoo. The father of the family, James, faces challenges beyond his expectations. The mother, Amanda, recognizes the good qualities of the believers but is constantly at odds with the idealism and inconsistencies in the Church, as she strives desperately to protect her children. Their children also face many obstacles. Jeremy, the teenage son, seeks companionship and consolation outside the Church by befriending a bullmastiff dog, the prophet's son, a gunfighter, an Indian boy, and a Quaker girl. Clara feels the weight of the world on her shoulders while the younger Christine takes everything in stride. Get ready to revel in an accurate historical novel that portrays the struggles and escapades of these hardy and oppressed people during one of the largest migrations in American history. The journey is, indeed, a "Crucible of Faith."
