    Unveiling a searing narrative of sacrifice, betrayal, and resilience, The Disgrace of America’s Empire tells the stories of forgotten patriots—Black, Latino, Asian, and LGBTQ+ soldiers who served the United States with valor, only to face discrimination, deportation, and systemic injustice upon their return. 
    Through the lives of these brave men and women, Michael J. Henderson exposes the hidden hypocrisies of American history. From the Tuskegee Airmen fighting racism in the skies to immigrant Marines stripped of citizenship, each chapter captures their fight against the illusion of equality in a nation built on selective freedom. 
    Henderson, a decorated officer and human rights advocate, combines historical research with personal accounts to shine a light on the sacrifices of those who bled for a country that refused to embrace them. This powerful book challenges readers to confront America’s legacy of systemic oppression and inspires action toward justice, inclusion, and healing. 
    A must-read for history enthusiasts, activists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the untold struggles of marginalized communities in the military and beyond.

    Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
    Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
    But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.

    - worksheets
    - Scripture readings, and
    - reflection prompts
    to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.

    This bundle consists of the following books: 
      - Totalitarianism Unmasked: Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total control over every aspect of public and private life, leaving no room for opposition or individual freedoms. Unlike other forms of governance, where political competition and individual rights are somewhat preserved, totalitarianism demands absolute loyalty and conformity. The concept of totalitarianism emerged in the early 20th century, though its roots can be traced back to ancient and medieval periods. In its modern form, it is most closely associated with dictatorial regimes that arose in the aftermath of World War I and throughout the 20th century. 
      - Kleptocracy: Kleptocracy, derived from the Greek words kleptēs (thief) and kratos (rule), refers to a system of governance where leaders exploit their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. It is a regime of theft, where corruption is not merely an incidental byproduct of governance but a fundamental aspect of its operation. In kleptocratic systems, the state becomes a tool for personal and collective gain for a small elite, often at the cost of societal well-being and economic development. 
      - Corporatism: Corporatism, as a political and economic system, refers to the integration of corporate and governmental interests, where the lines between the state and private enterprises often blur. It involves the collaboration of various sectors, such as businesses, government, and occasionally labor unions, to form policies and frameworks that benefit the economy and society, but sometimes at the expense of democratic processes.
