Giving hurting souls a reason to live, he shows not only how Jesus brings life to the full, but also how anyone—regardless of their past or pain—can find healing, including how to attack our anxiety and calm our storms; defeat depression and live with a sound mind; overcome intrusive suicidal thoughts and enjoy life; and transform pain, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and addictions into purpose. 
     
     
     
    It's okay to not be okay—but you don't have to stay that way. It's time to shine the hope of Christ into the darkness and witness His love transform broken souls into living, breathing signs to live.

    Declaring Independence - Why...

    At the beginning of 1776, virtually no one in the colonies was advocating independence: Americans based their grievances against Parliament on their rights as British subjects. By the end of 1776, independence was on every patriot's lips. The many tyrannies of a king had made an independent republic necessary. In Declaring Independence, Edward J. Larson gives us a compact, insightful history of that pivotal year. He traces a narrative arc that runs from the inspiring appeals of Paine's Common Sense in January; through the soaring ideals of midsummer, when the Continental Congress grounded independence in the self-evident truths of human equality and individual rights, and the states wove revolutionary principles of republican government and the rule of law into their new constitutions; to Paine's urgent pleas of December, when "the times that try men's souls" required Americans not "to shrink from the service of their country." Dramatic military clashes also punctuate the year: the British evacuation of Boston forced by the brilliant maneuvers of Washington's Army; the Battle of Long Island, a costly defeat that opened New York to British occupation; and the desperate year-end victory of the American army at Trenton. 
     
    Combined, these ideals and the sacrifices remind us why, on this anniversary and at this political moment, 1776 matters to all of us.

    Even in our modern technological age where Science is supposed to be preeminent we live in a fog of delusions and misinformation about our world.Our problems are a lot deeper than Pandemic issues and current political struggles. While our religions are important to human wellbeing many religious dogmas stop us from asking questions which results in hiding the truths of deeper spirituality from most of us.Through my experiences, research, and writing on topics like longevity, the paranormal, legendary beings, time and dimensional travel, aliens and UFOs, and many other subjects I have found many inconsistencies and a lack objective analysis of these subjects. Even scientists make assumptions about their topics which may not be correct.Misinformation and delusional thinking also leads to unnecessary unhappiness and to us limiting ourselves in our career choices and work endeavors.We also don’t realize that the Unconditional Love of others and our world is out there waiting for us. Once we realize this it makes us much happier and more satisfied in our lives.My goal in this book is to help readers to think more openly and clearly about the real truths which exist in our world and universe. Changing your point of view and becoming more open minded will also help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It will also help you learn to live in the all-encompassing love of life which is our heritage as human beings.

    This groundbreaking resource moves us from theory to action with a practical plan for reparations. 
     
     
      
    A surge in interest in black reparations is taking place in America on a scale not seen since the Reconstruction Era. The Black Reparations Project gathers an accomplished interdisciplinary team of scholars—members of the Reparations Planning Committee—who have considered the issues pertinent to making reparations happen. This book will be an essential resource in the national conversation going forward. 
     
     
      
    The first section of The Black Reparations Project crystallizes the rationale for reparations, cataloguing centuries of racial repression, discrimination, violence, mass incarceration, and the immense black-white wealth gap. Drawing on the contributors' expertise in economics, history, law, public policy, public health, and education, the second section unfurls direct guidance for building and implementing a reparations program, including draft legislation that addresses how the program should be financed and how claimants can be identified and compensated. Rigorous and comprehensive, The Black Reparations Project will motivate, guide, and speed the final leg of the journey for justice.
