Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book will encourage and empower readers to engage the culture as bold witnesses for Christ. Too many Christians in America are being intimidated into silence and inaction. The sound advice and solid counsel in this book will help believers break free from the false constraints of prevailing legal misconceptions popularizedand perpetuated by the anti-Christian secular Left and its allies in law, media, education, and entertainment. By reading this book, Christians will learn that the law does not require them to sit passively on the sidelines of American life Each chapter begins with a short fictional vignette drawn from real-life controversies and circumstances. The vignettes are engaging, but intentionally unresolved, setting the stage for the legal counsel to follow. The tone of the counsel is relaxed and folksy, simple and direct, without confusing legalese or complex academic jargon. The relevant concepts are boiled down to plain English, and each chapter ends with a bullet-point action list of key take-a-ways.Is it still safe to live out our Christian faith in an increasingly secularized and hostile society?Do we risk being punished at school or on the job if we dare to take a stand for Christ?Can we be forced to shut up and sit down when we try to speak for Jesus in the public square?This book answers these tough questions and more with the kind of realistic and reassuring legal wisdom Christians need to be effective witnesses for the faith in 21st Century America.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In 1987, a group of Lubavitchers, one of the most orthodox and zealous of the Jewish sects, opened a kosher slaughterhouse just outside tiny Postville, Iowa (pop. 1,465). When the business became a worldwide success, Postville found itself both revived and divided. The town's initial welcome of the Jews turned into confusion, dismay, and even disgust. By 1997, the town had engineered a vote on what everyone agreed was actually a referendum: whether or not these Jews should stay. The quiet, restrained Iowans were astonished at these brash, assertive Hasidic Jews, who ignored the unwritten laws of Iowa behavior in almost every respect. The Lubavitchers, on the other hand, could not compromise with the world of Postville; their religion and their tradition quite literally forbade it. Were the Iowans prejudiced, or were the Lubavitchers simply unbearable? Award-winning journalist Stephen G. Bloom found himself with a bird's-eye view of this battle and gained a new perspective on questions that haunt America nationwide. What makes a community? How does one accept new and powerfully different traditions? Is money more important than history? In the dramatic and often poignant stories of the people of Postville - Jew and gentile, puzzled and puzzling, unyielding and unstoppable - lies a great swath of America today.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The never-before-told true story of Jane Elliott and the ?Blue-Eyes, Brown-Eyes Experiment? she made world-famous, using eye color to simulate racism.   The day after Martin Luther King, Jr.?s assassination in 1968, Jane Elliott, a schoolteacher in rural Iowa, introduced to her all-white third-grade class a shocking experiment to demonstrate the scorching impact of racism. Elliott separated students into two groups. She instructed the brown-eyed children to heckle and berate the blue-eyed students, even to start fights with them. Without telling the children the experiment?s purpose, Elliott demonstrated how easy it was to create abhorrent racist behavior based on students? eye color, not skin color. As a result, Elliott would go on to appear on Johnny Carson?s Tonight Show, followed by a stormy White House conference, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and thousands of media events and diversity-training sessions worldwide, during which she employed the provocative experiment to induce racism. Was the experiment benign? Or was it a cruel, self-serving exercise in sadism? Did it work?  Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes is a meticulously researched book that details for the first time Jane Elliott?s jagged rise to stardom. It is an unflinching assessment of the incendiary experiment forever associated with Elliott, even though she was not the first to try it out. Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes offers an intimate portrait of the insular community where Elliott grew up and conducted the experiment on the town?s children for more than a decade. The searing story is a cautionary tale that examines power and privilege in and out of the classroom. It also documents small-town White America?s reflex reaction to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the subsequent meteoric rise of diversity training that flourishes today. All the while, Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes reveals the struggles that tormented a determined and righteous woman, today referred to as the ?Mother of Diversity Training,? who was driven against all odds to succeed. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. I'm stuck in a legal quandary. I have no idea where to turn. Do I need to see a lawyer?The Believer's Guide to Legal Issues isn't written for legal scholars or ivory tower intellectuals, but for average Christians currently interacting in some way with the legal system (whether by choice or unavoidable circumstance).It promotes a system of Christian legal ethics that restores relationships, values integrity, and promotes peace. It confronts an out-of-control secular legal system that destroys relationships, idolizes greed, and celebrates revenge. This book is a comforting companion and helpful counselor for the Christian who is bewildered, overwhelmed, and increasingly uneasy with all this legal stuff, and how it fits in with his or her Christian morals and beliefs.Both comprehensive in scope and friendly in tone, the legal topics addressed have been selected to cover situations average people encounter in the course of everyday life. Hot topics are examined, such as living wills, living trust, medical assistance planing, bankruptcy, divorce, estate planning, criminal defense, taxes, and real estate matters. Every chapter includes two life lessons of individual facing these critical issues.readers will be enlightened, encouraged in their faith, and empowered in their ability to make sound decisions to honor that faith, even in the high-stakes, pressure-filled, secular legal arena.…
