CKS Child Kidnapping Services -...

Dawson Manning

Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect.
So they thought.
Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children.
Life was perfect.
Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped!
This story is the true account of lies, deceit, delusions, and corruption. The belief in their justice system crumbled. Guilty! Before proven innocent is the new lay of the land. Evil is now disguised as what is called: “Protective Services” … Child Protective Services.
This book contains true facts and events that have been carefully checked and documented. Only the names have been changed.
Will Clark and Jamie ever get their daughter back? Or will they face more problems after challenging the system? What will happen to a disabled teenager lost in the system? Should Clark and Jamie just be quiet, or should they speak out? When did it become legal to kidnap a child?
This big question is: Is it right for them to confront the regime?
Life is not always perfect.
However, they have a perfect God.

Biblical Religion and the Search...

Paul Tillich

The intertwining of the theological and ontological from the world-renowned theologian, philosopher, and author of The Courage to Be.Dr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the essential function of philosophy in religious thought.Praise for The Courage to Be“The brilliance, the wealth of illustration, and the aptness of personal application . . . make the reading of these chapters an exciting experience.” ——W. Norman Pittenger, The New York Times Book Review“The essential character of courage, for Tillich, is ‘in spite of.’ We must go on striving for freedom, justice, and our faith in spite of oppositions. In this age of late capitalism, globalization, and terrorism, we all need the virtue of courage as Harvey Cox admirably argues in the foreword.” —Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton Theological School, Newton Centre, MA”Tillich struggled with the existential question how we may overcome the demoralizing effects, on the individual and society, of our Age of Anxiety. In this, his most popular book, Tillich gives us his deeply thought answers, and Harvey Cox provides a helpful new introduction.” —Gerald Holton, Harvard University

Between the Listening and the...

Mark Yaconelli, Anne Lamott

Stories tether us to what matters most: our families, our friends, our hearts, our planet, the wondrous mystery of life itself. Yet the stories we've been telling ourselves as a civilization are killing us: Fear is wisdom. Vanity is virtuous. Violence is peace. In Between the Listening and the Telling, author and activist Mark Yaconelli leads listeners into an enchanting meditation on the power of storytelling in our individual and collective lives. We tell stories to remember who we are. We tell stories to savor the pleasure of living. Stories can be medicine, and they can transform entire communities. 
 
 
 
Through his work with The Hearth nonprofit, Yaconelli has spent thousands of hours listening to people as they grieve loss, deepen friendships, strengthen families, shed light on injustice, and recover hope. In this moving exploration he shows us how individuals and communities can recover the practice of storytelling to address the despair of climate change, the trauma of school shootings, the tragedy of undocumented immigration, and the daily struggle for meaning. 
 
 
 
With a foreword by Anne Lamott, Between the Listening and the Telling offers an alloy of story, commentary, and meditation. In an era of runaway loneliness, alienation, global crisis, and despair, sharing stories helps us make a home within ourselves and one another.
