Navigating Public Schools: Charting a Course to Protect Your Child's Christian Faith and Worldview
Who Should Read This Book?
Navigating Public Schools will empower Christian parents to navigate the increasingly secular public school system with the aim to 1) cultivate strong relationships with their children in a season of immense secular pressure; 2) help their children stand firm in their Christian faith and Biblical worldview; 3) exercise their rights on campus; 4) become salt and light for Jesus Christ.
This book will also be a powerful resource for all Christians involved in schools—teachers, administrators, staff, extra-curricular groups, Christian club volunteers, youth leaders, pastors—as they learn to discern the misapplication of the "separation of church and state" and appropriately live out their Christian faith on public school campuses.

The Power of Purity: Freedom From the Roots of Sexual Sin
The issue of sexuality is central to manhood and masculinity, and it represents for many men one of the most common areas of struggle and challenge. This book is intended for regular guys who are interested in experiencing their sexual gift in a healthier way, and interested in bringing their sexual gift under the authority of Christ. The central message of this book can be reduced to the simple phrase, "fruit comes from roots." If a man is struggling with the ongoing "fruit" of sexual sin in his life, it is typically because of unholy "roots" that have never been properly dealt with in a godly way. The Power of Purity clearly exposes the six unholy roots of sexual sin that are common to many mens lives, and invites the reader to renounce the power and break the authority of each root from his life. As these ungodly "roots" are understood and broken, men will be set free to walk in higher levels of sexual freedom than ever before.
