You probably know the adult viewpoints on marriage, infertility, reproductive technologies, same-sex parenting, divorce, and adoption. But have you ever considered the kidsâ perspective? Them Before Us has flipped the script on adult-centric attitudes toward marriage, parenthood, and reproductive technologies by framing these issues around a childâs right to be raised by both their mother and father. Set against a backdrop of sound research, the compelling stories throughout each chapter confirm that a childâs mental, physical, and emotional well-being depends on being loved by the two people responsible for their existence. Itâs a paradigm shift that will impact the personal and the political, and reframe every marriage and family conversation across the globe. Them Before Us dispels many prevalent, harmful myths concerning childrenâs rights, such as: ⢠Kids need only love and safetyâmoms and dads are optional. ⢠Love makes a familyâbiology is irrelevant. ⢠Marriage is about adultsâit has nothing to do with kids. ⢠Children are resilient and will âget overâ divorce. ⢠Studies show âno differenceâ in outcomes for kids with same-sex parents. ⢠Sperm and egg donor kids are fortunate because they are so wanted. ⢠Surrogacy is a great way to help wannabe parents have a baby. ⢠Reproductive technologies are just like adoption. Are you tired of a culture that views adults as victims in family matters, when itâs clear that kids are the ones who truly pay the price? If so, we are your people, and this is your movement.

â.@RHelfenbein from @LibertyU fills in for me today with a GREAT discussion with @ErwinLutzer on his new book, âNo Reason to Hideâ https://t.co/Z3wXTcI4caâ (from X)
Will You Be Complicit, Complacent, or Courageous? In a culture with an ever-narrowing definition of tolerance, Christians can no longer stay silent about the divide between the Bibleâs truth and the worldâs lies. From bestselling author Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, No Reason to Hide examines the toxic roots behind the alarming symptoms of a nation in spiritual freefallâand why your faith must empower you to engage rather than hide. As you read, youâll be equipped to defend your biblical beliefs with confidence and compassion. Youâll also identify how you can respond to the battleground issues of today, includingidentity-driven social justice ideologies that seek to divide rather than unitecultural attacks on the definitions of sex and gender that turn language into a warprogressive pushes within the church that ultimately desecrate the Bibleâs teachings A call for believers to standing firm in todayâs oppressive world, No Reason to Hide is a rallying reminder that will ready Christians everywhere to have the courage to proclaim Scriptureâs truth to a culture in desperate need of what only God can offer.

Get an inside look at the detailed investigations of the United States Congress, the groundwork for Donald Trumpâs win in 2016, and the events that occurred during his successful four years as president. When I woke up on October 2, 2020, I figured it would be like most Fridays in DC. Congress would finish up the week with a few votes on the House Floor and then members would rush to Reagan National Airport to catch a flight home. Polly and I had a mid-afternoon flight; however, we werenât headed home. We were going to Wisconsin to help a colleague raise funds and to attend the Presidentâs rally in Green BayâŚ. As I started to put on my workout gear before heading to the House gym, I took a look at my phone. I noticed I had several text messages and missed phone calls from Russell Dye, the top media staffer for our personal office and for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Some of the calls and messages were from after midnightâŚ. I called him right away. âWhatâs going on?â I asked. He responded, âSir, the president has the virus!â I turned on the TV. It was the only story.⌠I had traveled to Cleveland with the president three days earlierâI knew Iâd have to quarantine until I got tested. Iâd been tested before the flight to Cleveland, but that wouldnât matter now. Iâd have to get a new test. No workout this morning, no flight to Wisconsin this afternoonâŚ. First things first. I was scheduled for a Fox and Friends interview that morning in the eight oâclock hour. I grabbed a quick shower and then headed to the office to prep for the interview. We were supposed to discuss the election and how the president was doing in Ohio. But we knew the only topic would be the president contracting the virusâŚ. An hour later I got tested in the House physicianâs office.⌠On that drive home Polly and I talked about all that had transpired that morning. We talked about the president and first lady, and like millions of other Americans, we prayed for their health and for our country. Over the weekend I thought about that dayâthat one dayâFriday, October 2, 2020: it was really a picture of the entire year. 2020 was about the virus and the presidential election. 2020 was all about politics.

âEvery single American needs to read Michael Knowlesâs Speechless. I donât mean âread it eventually.â I mean: stop what youâre doing and pick up this book.â âCANDACE OWENS "The most important book on free speech in decadesâread it!â âSENATOR TED CRUZ A New Strategy: We Win, They Lose The Culture War is over, and the culture lost. The Leftâs assault on liberty, virtue, decency, the Republic of the Founders, and Western civilization has succeeded. You can no longer keep your social media accountâor your jobâand acknowledge truths such as: Washington, Jefferson, and Columbus were great men. Schools and libraries should not coach children in sexual deviance. Men donât have uteruses. How did we get to this point? Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire exposes and diagnosis the losing strategy we have fallen for and shows how we can change courseâand start winning. In the groundbreaking Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds Knowles reveals: How the âfree speech absolutistsâ gave away the storeThe First Amendment does not require a value-neutral public squareHow the Communists figured out that their revolution could never succeed as long as the common man was attached to his own cultureWhere political correctness came fromHow, comply or resist, political correctness is a win-win game for the bad guysWhy taking our stand on âfreedom of speechâ helps put atheism, decadence, and nonsense on the same plane with faith, virtue, and realityThe real question: Will we shut down drag queen story hour, or cancel Abraham Lincoln?For 170 years the First Amendment was compatible with prayer in public schoolHow the atheists got the Warren Court to rule their wayTo this day, thereâs a First Amendment exception for obscenity. What exactly is the argument that pervertsâ teaching toddlers to twerk is not obscene? Read Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds if you want to learn how to take the fight to the enemy.

âIf youâre offended by science and biology proving there are two sexes and you canât change yours, now would be a good time to read this book by @NancyRPearcey: https://t.co/HUlhTLIFuFâ (from X)
Why the Call to Love Thy Body? To counter the hostility toward the human body and biological facts of life driving many of today's headline stories. Many people absorb pre-packaged media mantras on watershed moral issues without being aware of their hurtful real-world implications. Consider: Transgenderism: Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self. Is this affirming--or does it demean the body?Homosexuality: Advocates disconnect sexuality from being biologically male or female. Is this liberating--or does it denigrate who we really are?Abortion: Supporters admit that pre-born babies are human, but deny that they are persons worthy of legal protection. Does this lead to equality for women--or does it threaten the intrinsic dignity of all humans?Hookup Culture: On campus, in Hollywood, and in the boardroom, the sexual revolution was supposed to liberate us for recreational sex. But has it really led to schizoid sex and bodies without meaning?In Love Thy Body, best-selling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct talking points to offer a riveting exposÊ of the dehumanizing secularist ethos that shapes critical moral and socio-political issues of our day. Formerly an agnostic, Pearcey was hailed in The Economist as"America's preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual." Fearlessly and with compassion, she makes the case that secularism denigrates the body and destroys the basis for human rights. Throughout, Pearcey sets forth a holistic and humane alternative availableto all--one that offers reality-oriented solutions that embrace the dignity of the human body and provide a sustainable basis for inalienable human rights. Now, more than ever, we need to learn to "love thy body."_____________________________ "Liberal secularist ideology rests on a mistake and Nancy Pearcey in her terrific new book puts her finger right on it. In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism ... is philosophically as well as theologically untenable."--Robert P. George, Princeton University "Writing with both deep compassion and clear thinking, Nancy Pearcey helps us to better understand the worldview that lies behind the huge cultural shifts we have recently experienced in the West....Pearcey is a wonderful guide."--Sam Allberry, author, Is God Anti-Gay? "Nancy Pearcey models on every page how to understand secular worldviews....Love Thy Body is a must-read book."--Rosaria Butterfield, former professor, Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert "An astute but accessible analysis of the intellectual roots of the most important moral ills facing us today: abortion, euthanasia, and redefining the family."--Richard Weikart, California State University, Stanislaus "Nancy Pearcey's characteristic clarity and careful scholarship take the reader through the history of our shifting perceptions on what it means to be human....Highly readable, insightful, and informative."--Mary Poplin, Claremont Graduate University; author, Is Reality Secular? "Unmasks the far-reaching practical consequences of mind-body dualism better than anyone I have ever seen."--Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president, The Ruth Institute "Love Thy Body richly enhances the treasure box that is Pearcey's collective work."--Glenn T. Stanton, Focus on the Family "Essential reading ...Love Thy Body brings clarity and understanding to the multitude of complex and confusing views in discussions about love and sexuality."--Becky Norton Dunlop, Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow, The Heritage Foundation "Pearcey gets straight to the issue of our day: What makes humans valuable in the first place? You must get this book. Don't just read it. Master it."--Scott Klusendorf, president, Life Training Institute
