Raise Your Boys to be Men of Faith and Courage Parenting can be a wild frontier—but one you can tame if you have courage, love, and the right perspective. Raising a Modern Frontier Boy is a comprehensive, firsthand, tour-guide look into the frontier of fatherhood. Written from a father and a son’s perspective, you see both sides of parenting—what works, what didn’t work, and what built an enduring friendship and collegiality that extends far beyond the parenting years. Raising a Modern Frontier Boy recounts the fascinating journey of writer and director John Grooters through the parenting years with his son, Jedidiah. Their story culminates when 19-year-old Jed accepts a starring role in the feature film The Frontier Boys, and embodies the faith and values that he, by then, had chosen to embrace and live on his own. Intelligent, instructive, and intriguing, Raising a Modern Frontier Boy will set you on an amazing path toward an enduring relationship of mutual respect and love.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Three quick shots, and then the car sped away at full speed to the sound of screams. Brent Fencett found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now his friend’s life hangs in the balance, his basketball season is on the brink, and Brent is reluctantly trying to help his other best friends solve the very crime he committed.

The Frontier Boys is an inspiring story about these very choices. I strongly encourage you to read it.” --Kirk Cousins, Quarterback—Washington Redskins
What if the church could be more than a building or a meeting once or twice a week? What would happen if the church lived and loved as a community where people mattered more than programs and servants were more valued than leaders? How would the world be changed by a church that looked like that? This book looks at the past influence of the church in American culture and is hopeful that it will be influential again. It expresses that missing link between just making noise and truly impacting culture. Love is our motivation to reach out to the world in multiple ways, and receiving love will give people a reason to pay attention. By expressing love, we bring life to ourselves, our friends, and...

A PHOTOGRAPHIC TOUR OF THE CREATION MUSEUM
The story of the Reformed Church's relationship to Native Americans is one of persistence and optimism in the face of overwhelming odds. Unfortunately, it's also a story that reflects all too well the sad record of U.S. dealings with America's first inhabitants. In this frank, well-balanced account of the Reformed Church's Native American missions and churches, LeRoy Koopman recounts the spiritual journey of the "Jesus Road" shared by Reformed and Native American Christians. "Taking the Jesus Road" outlines how government and church often cooperated with each other in implementing shifting policies that allowed the native peoples little or no voice in their own destiny. Koopman does not hesitate to point out how early missionaries often equated the Christian faith with white culture but also gives credit for their tireless efforts to seek a better life for the people they were serving. Much of the book is devoted to the stories of particular ministries, including the six Native American congregations that remain a vital part of the Reformed Church today.
In Righting America at the Creation Museum, Susan L. Trollinger and William Vance Trollinger, Jr., take readers on a fascinating tour of the museum. The Trollingers vividly describe and analyze its vast array of exhibits, placards, dioramas, and videos, from the Culture in Crisis Room, where videos depict sinful characters watching pornography or considering abortion, to the National Selection Room, where placards argue that natural selection doesn't lead to evolution. The book also traces the rise of creationism and the history of fundamentalism in America.
