Barbours Cut Beyond the River's Reach

The details of Clyde A. Barbour’s early life on the Mississippi River call to mind the adventures of that famous riverboat pilot Mark Twain, and like Twain, Clyde would never be content with a life limited by riverbanks – his dreams and ambitions went far beyond the river’s reach. A determined young man with boundless ambition, Clyde became a steamboat captain, a self-taught man with an appreciation of art and culture, and a driven businessman and pioneer of American industry and development. With his beloved Jennie beside him, he set out to build a life for his growing family that would change the lives of almost everyone with whom he came in contact, and of many who never met him.

In Barbours Cut, novelist Nancy Potter has painstakingly combined family lore and documented fact to recreate the compelling story of her greatgrandparents. In 1900, as today, there were many in America who were determined to make as much money as possible—and by whatever means necessary. Captain Barbour was different, a hard-working laborer and then entrepreneur whose open honesty and sincerity drew people to him and inspired trust. Whenever he saw someone in need or an opportunity waiting to be seized, he acted without hesitation, confidently, shrewdly, and prudently. Clyde suffered many hardships, disappointments, setbacks, and struggles, but he never stopped believing in himself or his vision, and his Jennie never stopped believing in him.

Deployed With My Mother

In 1988 an Army recruiter encouraged David Weill to sign up for his local Reserve Unit. One weekend a month, two weeks in the summer, extra money now, and benefits toward college. What's not to like?

Weill went home and talked it over with his mother. It was a short conversation.

"Hey, Mom. Do you think I should join the Army?"

"No."

But David had a money mindset and a patriotic streak. He figured he could serve his country and get paid to do it. Not only did he sign up, he talked his mother, a nurse, into signing up too.

Then Desert Storm hit the fan, and stuff began to get real.

The Spiritual Price of Political Silence

In the midst of political chaos and corruption, "The Spiritual Price of Political Silence" is a clarion call to action while providing hope and practical advice for people of faith in America.

Recognizing that Americans of deep faith have been misled about the role of faith in America's founding, as well as their rights and responsibilities as American citizens, Christy Chavers Stutzman presents stories and documentation in an easy-to-read refresher course for those who might not know where to start.

With 20 years of political experience and a deep understanding of history, Stutzman provides a timely, comprehensive political handbook for every concerned American. She not only lays out the true facts about the role of faith in America, but she also provides a deeper understanding of the humanistic philosophies that have been targeting faith in America for the past century.

Reminding us of how and why people of faith were a vital part of creating America's unique form of government, the Spiritual Price of Political Silence makes a clear case that they are still the key to the preservation of the republic, while providing practical steps that every American can take to be politically active right now.
