Mainline Farming for Century Twenty-One
Mainline Farming for Century 21 is a graduate course in agriculture. It does not settle for tip-toeing beyond the conventional, it takes bold strides — and it answers what the farmer wants to know, all the while demolishing the mythology on which toxic rescue chemistry has been built. Few people have asked and answered the right questions with the total consistency of Dr. Dan Skow. His teacher was the late Dr. Carey Reams, and the lessons Skow learned — and improved upon — were strong meat. They led him to a full appreciation of cause and effect, and the role of precedence in agriculture. Dan Skow and Charles Walters have taken the complex biological theory of ionization as applied to agriculture and made it accessible to all. But Mainline Farming for Century 21 is more than a book of theory -- it teaches how to measure fertility down to the atomic level and project forward bins and bushels with brix high enough to confer immunity to fungal, bacterial and insect attack—and to ward off weeds. The practical, hands-on advice in this manual will lead growers to increased yields and more fertile acres, all without the use of toxic, synthetic chemicals..

Public Pulpits: Methodists and Mainline Churches in the Moral Argument of Public Life
Since the 2000 presidential election, debate over the role of religion in public life has followed a narrow course as pundits and politicians alike have focused on the influence wielded by conservative Christians. But what about more mainstream Christians? Here, Steven M. Tipton examines the political activities of Methodists and mainline churches in this groundbreaking investigation into a generation of denominational strife among church officials, lobbyists, and activists. The result is an unusually detailed and thoughtful account that upends common stereotypes while asking searching questions about the contested relationship between church and state.
Documenting a wide range of reactions to two radically different events—the invasion of Iraq and the creation of the faith-based initiatives program—Tipton charts the new terrain of religious and moral argument under the Bush administration from Pat Robertson to Jim Wallis. He then turns to the case of the United Methodist Church, of which President Bush is a member, to uncover the twentieth-century history of their political advocacy, culminating in current threats to split the Church between liberal peace-and-justice activists and crusaders for evangelical renewal. Public Pulpits balances the firsthand drama of this internal account with a meditative exploration of the wider social impact that mainline churches have had in a time of diverging fortunes and diminished dreams of progress.
An eminently fair-minded and ethically astute analysis of how churches keep moral issues alive in politics, Public Pulpits delves deep into mainline Protestant efforts to enlarge civic conscience and cast clearer light on the commonweal and offers a masterly overview of public religion in America.

Answers in Abundance: A Miraculous Adoption Journey as Told from a Father's Heart
Answers in Abundance will primarily reach Christian women between the ages of 25 and 50 who have either been through a similar experience, know somebody who has or is currently involved in the painful process; or who simply enjoy human interest stories that can be referred to friends and family.

If and when they finally begin to talk openly with their close friends, it's nearly always the woman who bears the responsibility for investigating various options. It is also usually the female who carries the guilt through this entire process..
