  Read by the author Chad Robichaux. 
  The inspiring true story of US elite special operations veterans fighting for freedom in Ukraine and discovering the power of faith, sacrifice, and hope. 
  Author, speaker, and former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux offers an honest, no-holds-barred account of what has really been happening in Ukraine and shares powerful stories that are soaked in resiliency and determination, faith, and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming opposition. 
  When Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux knew that innocent people were about to be exposed to untold brutality. He also knew that God was inviting him to get involved. With little idea of the trials that would follow, Chad's response was simple and clear: "yes." As he gathered a team of elite special operations veterans, he invited his twenty-five-year-old son, Hunter--also a Marine combat veteran--to partner with him in Ukraine. Over the course of seven trips, Chad saw a change in Hunter as his confidence grew and he excelled among the team. Chad's own faith also grew as he learned to relinquish control and trust God with his son, as well as what he witnessed in the brutality of war. 
  A Mission Without Borders is a powerful account of the lessons we can learn whenever we say yes to God. Chad's experience will help you:Understand what the conflict in Ukraine was like for everyday citizens beyond the political fog.Discover how a bond can grow between a father and son as they face hardship together.Realize that God doesn't just call us to go to the aid of the people we know and love, sometimes he calls us to help strangers--because it's the right thing to do. 
    
  A Mission Without Borders will take you deep into the war in Ukraine, from Russia's use of ballistic and chemical weapons on civilians to the inspirational story of the role that the Ukrainian church has played in the war. Chad's story of courage and hope will inspire and challenge you.

  George W. Truett (May 6, 1867 – July 7, 1944), was an American clergyman who was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, from 1897 until 1944, and the president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1927 to 1929. He became one of the most famous Southern Baptist preachers and writers of his era. William Ashley "Billy" Sunday (November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was a popular outfielder in baseball's National League from 1883 to 1890, who later became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century. Known for his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery, Sunday held campaigns in America's largest cities and attracted the largest crowds of any evangelist before the advent of electronic sound systems. In addition, Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching likely played a role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. Charles McCallon Alexander (1867 - 1920), a native of Tennessee, studied at Maryville University and eventually became a professor of music. After attending the Moody Bible Institute from 1892 to 1894 he became a popular gospel singer who toured with R.A. Torrey and, later, John W. Chapman to launch the "Chapman-Alexander Simultaneous Campaign."

  Relate then Educate - The Untold...

  Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.

  Private Censorship

  J.P. Messina

  Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the twenty-first century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. 
   
   
   
  To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts. J. P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say and how might patterns of such firings create a climate of fear inimical to free inquiry? When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives? Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained, if they do? Along the way, Messina casts a critical eye on many popular proposals for responding to these complaints. Unlike these popular approaches, Private Censorship foregrounds the importance of rights to property, association, and free expression for thinking well about twenty-first century censorship concerns.

  Fences - A worldview A plea

  Ken La Salle

  For Ken La Salle, any 21st century American existentialist philosophy must, after half a decade of division, begin at the core of that division, not with the memes or the keywords but with the instrument of division itself. 
  Some of those instruments, like ICE or MAGA or even religion, appear to be the key but they are simply manifestations of our division. Our fawning over billionaires is a manifestation of what divides us. Our love of guns, our ideas of “charity,” property value, our veneration of our military – everything from gambling to psychics – they’re all just a manifestation of the divisions we build all around us. 
  We have a perfect metaphor for the divisions we build, that we constantly build, all around us in the fences encircling our homes, our schools, cities and country, dividing you, defining you. We build them all the time in ways both literal and figurative. 
  Welcome, then, to Fences. Fences is an anti-division, anti-gambling, anti-“charity”, anti-psychic, anti-manifesting, anti-religion, anti-politics, anti-military, anti-gun, anti-billionaire, anti-ICE, anti-MAGA, anti-fence plea to a dissolving America.
