Book Description
The definitive history of the Jamestown colony, the crucible of American history Although it was the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown is too often overlooked in the writing of American history. Founded thirteen years before the Mayflower sailed, Jamestown's courageous settlers have been overshadowed ever since by the pilgrims of Plymouth. But as historian James Horn demonstrates in this vivid and meticulously researched account, Jamestown-not Plymouth-was the true crucible of American history. Jamestown introduced slavery into English-speaking North America; it became the first of England's colonies to adopt a representative government; and it was the site of the first white-Indian clashes over territorial expansion. A Land As God Made It offers the definitive account of the colony that give rise to America.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “We should aspire to Colapinto's stellar journalist example: listening carefully to the circumstances of those who are different rather than demanding that they conform to our own.” —Washington Post The true story about the "twins case" and a riveting exploration of medical arrogance, misguided science, societal confusion, gender differences, and one man's ultimate triumph In 1967, after a twin baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his family agreed to a radical treatment that would alter his gender. The case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine—and a total failure. The boy's uninjured brother, raised as a boy, provided to the experiment the perfect matched control. As Nature Made Him tells the extraordinary story of David Reimer, who, when finally informed of his medical history, made the decision to live as a male. Writing with uncommon intelligence, insight, and compassion, John Colapinto sets the historical and medical context for the case, exposing the thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr. John Money and his fellow sex researcher, Dr. Milton Diamond—a rivalry over the nature/nurture debate whose very bitterness finally brought the truth to light. A macabre tale of medical arrogance, it is first and foremost a human drama of one man's—and one family's—amazing survival in the face of terrible odds.

Book Description
No matter one’s political persuasion, most of us agree there’s something deeply wrong in America today. Conflict has reached a fever pitch as our nation has become alarmingly polarized in the political arena. Many look to politicians and public policies for solutions, but journalist Andrew Breitbart rightly said that politics couldn’t be fixed if culture is ignored, because “politics is downstream from culture.” McAllister would take this observation a step further—politics might be downstream from culture, but culture is downstream from relationships. If we don’t focus on the personal building blocks of society, we will fail to fix problems in culture and the politics that flow from it. If relationships are sick or broken—especially those between men and women—then everything else is affected. If there’s little love, respect, and trust there, you won’t find it anywhere else. Men are tired of being dumped on. They have a lot to say to women about sex, equality in the workplace, raising boys, and the lie of “toxic masculinity,” but modern feminism and a politically correct culture have silenced them. This “war on men” has disrupted relationships and caused men to question their place in American society. “Misogyny,” “male privilege,” and “the Patriarchy” are buzzwords that shut men down. Some are so frustrated they’ve given up entirely—“Who needs women if all they’re going to do is use you and treat you like garbage?” Anger, separation, and simply giving up aren't solutions to a festering problem. Instead, we need to heal relationships by learning to respect the designed purposes of masculinity and femininity. For this to happen, women will need to hear some hard truths about themselves and those they love. In What Men Want to Say to Women (But Can’t), cultural commentator and New York Times bestselling author Denise McAllister speaks to women on men’s behalf—exposing the lies of modern feminism and offering insights on how to rebuild broken relationships in the workplace, at home, and in the bedroom. Here’s a sneak peek at a few things men would like to say to women, but can’t: • “When I look at your cleavage, it doesn’t mean I want to rape you.” • “Stop complaining about equal pay when you don’t do equal work.” • “Children need their father—stop shutting men out of the picture because you think you do everything better.” • “I will teach my son to compete—now go toss that participation trophy in the trash!” “A triumph of compassion, insight, and good sense. Denise McAllister doesn’t just want to fix how men and women talk to each other. She wants to heal a fraying holy sacrament. Read this book to save your marriage—or to find one.” —Milo Yiannopoulos

Book Description
This book demonstrates, through the full text of the scriptures, that women have the same God-given rights as men to preach, teach, and serve in the same offices of the church as men, doing everything spiritually that men do according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul wrote, And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh in all But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will (1 Cor. 12:6, 11). It also shows that the opposition against the women that are called to preach and teach the word of God is a calculated plan that is instigated by Satan to prevent them from fulfilling the will of God.

Book Description
"I am of the conviction that a person's writings are a reflection of their character. I know Bernadine Cantrell to be a woman with a deep love for her Savior and a deep commitment to the body of Christ. Her book will inspire you to be the person that Christ called you to be when no one is looking. Read it, and be blessed!" Pastor Johnny Hunt, First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia President, Southern Baptist Convention, 2008 - 2010 "I believe if the contents of this book are applied, marriages will flourish and families will prosper." Sonny Perdue, Governor of Georgia, 2003 - 2011 "When I read this book, I was so excited. Although it speaks to women of successful husbands and the issues they face, what I saw was how it spoke to me as a believer and to our church as a part of the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bernadine presents valuable principles which can guide individual believers and the Church in how to become a successful bride for the Lord." Philip McMinn, Pastor, 1960-2007 "I personally believe this is the best book on being a Godly wife I have ever read! The focus is on what the Lord expects of us as women. As a Pastor's wife, I believe this book should be required reading as a part of pre-marriage counseling!" Mrs. Kenny (Terrie) Chinn, Pastor's wife, Wilmington, N.C. Bernadine shares the wife's role in helping her husband be all that God wants him to be. A wife's primary responsibility is her thinking which leads to right or wrong attitudes and actions. Bernadine would like for others to learn from her mistakes and her correct actions. With many years of marriage, teaching and mentoring others, her transparency reveals that she has been where you may be.
