There’s a lie masquerading as truth that’s running rampant in our culture.

But if you’ve ever tried to control your life or to strive your way to self-fulfillment, you’ve discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message.

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood. In How to Be Secular, Berlinerblau argues for a return to America’s hard-won secular tradition; the best way to protect religious diversity and freedom lies in keeping an eye on the encroachment of each into the other. Berlinerblau passionately defends the virtues of secularism, reminds us what it is and what it can protect, and urges us to mobilize around its cause, which is for all Americans to continue to enjoy freedom for - and from - religion.

McConnell detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of the Establishment Clause, state disestablishment, and the disestablishment norms applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Are you someone who was raised going to church every Saturday or Sunday? Were your religious beliefs conditioned by someone else, like your parents? Guardians? Family or friends?

Once upon a time, we were free to go wherever we chose. It wasn’t so long ago. The history of humanity, is a tale of constant motion. People are supposed to move about. We have imaginations which encourage us to dream about life in other places, bodies which are built to roam, and hands which can make an array of vehicles. A few of us even possess the “Wanderlust Gene”, which encourages us to take risks–to sail across unchartered oceans, and launch ourselves towards faraway planets.

Rain pelted my face as I pushed through the roar of the storm. Deep in the belly of Mexico, my team and I were on the hunt. One of the cartel’s mules flipped and wanted a ticket to freedom. The information they held could be our game-changer. Returning home to a civilian lifestyle was always an adjustment, even if it was temporary. However, a chance encounter with Catalina Mandas made that transition a little bit easier. She was sweet, sexy, feisty, and saw me for who I was. She completely captivated me. But Catalina warned me that her past and mine could never coexist.

Have you ever wondered why religion can turn out to be as enslaving to people's minds as jails are to their bodies? Why is such enslavement not only welcomed, but why do the victims try so hard to enslave others? Why have more wars been fought over religion and more deaths of people caused by it than for any other reason? Why should we not want to break free from this terribly negative pattern? Jack Barranger addresses these problems and gives answers in this book. Being a trained theologian and former teacher of Critical Thinking, there is no better person to write this book. He believes ...

Being a human means living in a cycle of suffering and joy, failure and success, rejection and acceptance. Yet, finding the strength to maintain that faith, motivation, and gained wisdom requires us to accept that much of life is mysterious and beyond our control or understanding. To find true peace and happiness, we must give up the constant frustration of trying to know the unknowable or control the uncontrollable. “The Mystery of Time is Who You Are” is a deep and profound meditation on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, which begins with the words, “To everything, there is a season and a time to...
