Empire of Debt
Bill Bonner
This is a must read for all who want to get a vital historical perspective on what is happpening to the United States in the 21st century as well as understand the larger sweep of history from the point of view of the rise and fall of nations for the last several thousand years. Bill Bonner and co-author Addison Wiggen point out masterfully that we are headed - and fairly soon - for a massive world financial crisis the likes of which have never been seen before.
The author's review the progress of empire after empire. They all eventually crumbled as will the American empire of today. But the authors point out an intriguing difference: other empires financed their expansion primarily by exacting tribute and taxes from conquered nations. America does it by borowing from them! It is a recipe for total dissaster. Doom and gloom? Perhaps - but totally realistic.

America: A Call to Greatness - Abandonment Theology
John Chalfant
This short volume describes in down to earth, realistic terms, a modern religious faith which is being sold as Christianity by operating in the name of Christ. Chalfant says that in reality, this "feel good" theology which merely patronizes Jesus Christ while at the same time promoting massive disobedience to Gods commands and dereliction of duty as the Bible requires, is destroying the nation. We strongly suggest you read this volume at once. If you have any regard for the future of our nation, whether or not you are Christian, you will not be able to put this book down.

State of Fear
Michael Crichton
Published in 2004, this is Crichton at his best. But there is just enough realism to make you really think carefully about how you form your opinions about current events. The time is now. The nation – and much of the civilized world – is bombarded daily with pro-environment “news”. The collapsing ozone layer, global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, you name it. It is a fictional portrayal of what is all too true.
As the cover leaf describes it: “This is Crichton’s most wide ranging thriller. State of Fear takes the reader from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanoes of Antarctica, from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the streets of Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles.” The author has a unique ability to blend scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction. This book makes a powerful statement that the worldwide environmental movement may be much more than it appears to be. If you disagree with the scare tactics and doomsday conclusions of radical environmentalists, your position will be strongly reinforced by this book. If you agree, or if you are a very pro-environment person, this book may cause you to re-think your position. Either way, the book is one that will absorb you completely.
Highly recommended! - Dave Upham

John Adams
David McCullough
This book is a must read for anyone who wants to know what
went on in the minds and hearts of the founders of the nation as well as those who
were not founders but lived at the time but were swept along with the
incredible history that was being made back then. Too often, we think of our
time as the most advanced, the most civilized and the most progressive. Not so,
says David McCullough. In a well
written book of over 500 pages, the author takes us back to those times as if
we had time travel. From inside the life, thoughts and emotions of one of America’s
senior founders, John Adams, we are given a window to the past like none other.
As a reader, you’ll find that in many ways, the giants of our history were but
ordinary men, full of conflicting emotions, petty jealousies, envy and poor
habits. But in other ways, they were head and shoulders above most men who have
ever lived. They had a vision for a new, free nation. The nation would embody
what were then new concepts of the freedom and dignity of the individual, and a
nation under God – not the King. It was built
on their courage, fierce devotion to duty, tireless work, willingness to engage
in personal sacrifice. The combination of apparent circumstances that occurred
to allow the new nation to be born was either pure chance or the hand of God.
McCullough leaves that determination up to the reader.
