  This essential playbook reveals the winning strategies for successfully fighting a radical woke agenda in your kids’ schools. Ian Prior is one of the most articulate and successful parent-activists in the United States. Armed with 12 inspiring battle-tested rules and revealing stories about sparring with self-righteous Woke neighbors (the “Chardonnay Antifa”), Ian shares secrets about what fellow parents can do in their own school districts to stop the Left's dark vision from taking root.   Get ready to laugh. This is not a boring education book. With real world lessons and funny anecdotes readers can connect with, Ian explains how families can win the battle to stop divisive and dangerous concepts rooted in critical race theory and other dangerous left-wing ideologies from spreading to their schools. He convincingly makes the case that the Left envisions a public education system in America where children are no longer the responsibility of their parents but rather mere wards of the state.   You’ll be shocked and amused by the outrageous stories in Ian’s suburban county that unexpectedly became ground zero for the parents’ rights movement. This sign-of-the times book helpfully explains the confusing and infuriating cultural moment we find ourselves in.Parents of the World, Unite! is an indispensable book for American families who believe they should be able to raise their children without government interference in their moral, religious, and ethical choices -- and are ready to join a revolution of parents.

  Byzantine Empire

  Byzantine Empire traces the dramatic transformation of the Roman Empire’s eastern half into a distinct Byzantine civilization, charting its arc from the founding of Constantinople in 330 to the empire’s high-water mark under the Macedonian dynasty around 1025. Beginning with Constantine’s 'New Rome,' the book explores how geography, law, and faith fused to create a durable imperial culture. It follows the legalization and institutionalization of Christianity, the political theology that bound church and state, and the cultural splendors that culminated in Hagia Sophia’s luminous dome. 
  Through narrative chapters, readers encounter Justinian’s daring—his legal codification, the reconquest of lost provinces, the trauma of plague, and the brilliance of Hagia Sophia—before pivoting to the Arab conquests that reshaped frontiers and identities. The emergence of the theme system, the icon debates that tested the soul of Byzantine devotion, and the everyday economy of farms, markets, and guilds reveal an empire constantly reinventing itself. The story crescendos with the Macedonian Renaissance: a disciplined revival of letters, law, art, and arms that reconquered lands, codified governance in Greek, choreographed courtly ceremony, and exported Byzantine culture through missions to the Slavs and Rus’. 
  Written for general readers, this volume blends political narrative with human-scale vignettes—scribes and soldiers, merchants and monks—showing how resilience, administration, and a theology of beauty created a civilization at once traditional and experimental. It sets the stage for the empire’s later crises and transformations, while celebrating the ingenuity that made Byzantium the City of the World’s Desire.

  What God Would Have Known - How...

  Classical Christian ideas loom large in philosophy of religion today. But arguments against Christian doctrine have been neglected. J. L. Schellenberg's new book remedies this neglect. 
   
   
   
  The tide of human development, which the early Christians might have expected to corroborate their teaching, has in fact brought many results that run contrary to that teaching. Or at least it will be seen to have done so, says Schellenberg, when we think about the consequences of any God existent then being fully cognizant, when Christian doctrine was first formed, of all that we have laboriously learned since then. Newly discovered facts, not just about such things as evolution and the formation of the New Testament but also about mental illness, violent punishment, the relations between women and men, and the status of same-sex intimacy, suggest new arguments against the content of the Christian revelation when the prior understanding of the purported revealer is taken into account. 
   
   
   
  What God Would Have Known offers a thorough and incisive treatment of its subject that remains respectful and fair-minded throughout. It is not concerned with the overworked question of whether classical Christians believe irrationally, but with what overlooked arguments about human development show in relation to the truth or falsity of Christian claims about reality.

  Fidelity - Staying True to...

  Fidelity is often regarded as a cornerstone of trust in human relationships, but its significance goes beyond merely adhering to agreements or promises. At its core, fidelity involves remaining true to one's word, values, and commitments in all areas of life. It encompasses a deep sense of loyalty, honesty, and integrity, extending from personal relationships to professional interactions. In its essence, fidelity is the act of staying loyal and steadfast, whether it is to a partner, a cause, or a set of principles. 
  The concept of fidelity is not a new one. Across cultures and throughout history, people have emphasized its importance. Fidelity has been seen as a virtue that promotes stability, security, and mutual respect. Whether it's the dedication in marriage or the commitment to a moral or religious principle, fidelity has always been associated with the strength of character and the ability to follow through on one’s promises. 
  One of the most recognized forms of fidelity is in romantic relationships. Here, fidelity refers to the loyalty to a partner, not only in the form of physical exclusivity but also emotional commitment. This kind of fidelity ensures that trust is built and maintained over time, laying the foundation for a healthy relationship. The practice of fidelity in this context requires emotional maturity, communication, and self-discipline. However, it is essential to understand that fidelity is not a one-dimensional concept. It is as much about loyalty in one’s heart and mind as it is about actions.
