"One of the first great events in Christian history was the Council
of Nicaea in 325 AD, convened to organize Christian sects and
beliefs into a unified doctrine. The great Christian clergymen who
wrote before this famous event are referred to as the Ante-Nicenes
and the Apostolic Fathers, and their writings are collected here in
a ten-volume set. The Ante-Nicenes lived so close to the time of
Christ that their interpretations of the New Testament are
considered more authentic than modern voices. But they are also
real and flawed men, who are more like their fellow Christians than
they are like the Apostles, making their words echo in the ears of
spiritual seekers. In Volume III of the 10-volume collected works
of the Ante-Nicenes first published between 1885 and 1896, readers
will find three of Tertullian s most famous writings. In
Apologetic, Tertullian addresses the powers that be in Rome,
demanding that Christians be accepted and tolerated by Roman law.
In Anti-Marcion, Tertullian attacks and discusses heretics. And in
Ethical he discusses a variety of moral questions."
Politicians in Washington are grappling with a soaring national
debt that threatens our status in the world and, indeed our very
future. The government funded by this debt is seen as too big and
intrusive. Yet, eighty years of liberal progressivism have left us
a nation ill prepared to face a future of less government. Even
more urgent than the massive debt accumulated over the decades are
the crumbling institutions left in the wake of the failed
experiment of socialism. Americans sense that the old social
contract of "cradle to grave" care no longer works, if it ever did.
They know that anarchy is not a replacement for big government and
are searching for a new world view.But the way forward will never
be found until we understand how our nation fits within a higher
purpose for all men and women. The Four Institutions of the
Cultural Mandate provide this understanding and clarifies what the
American people must do to secure our country's future. This book
shines a light on these institutions and provides the new world
view and the new social contract Americans are longing for.George
Radanovich was elected to Congress in 1994. He served as president
of the freshman class of the new republican majority and pressed
the need for cultural reform to accompany the reduction in the size
of government. A believer that politics and jurisprudence are
downstream from culture, The New World Order is the Old World
Order, is the culmination of his thirty-year effort to develop a
new social contract based on cultural reform. He retired from
Congress in 2011, after the tragic loss of his wife, and returned
to his hometown of Mariposa, CA, to raise their 12 year-old son,
rebuild the family vineyard and establish a foundation, The Four
Institutions, to restore the institutions of the Cultural Mandate.

"In this masterful work George Gray calls the church to live out
the most natural expression of her love and obedience to the
Master. Grounded in careful exegesis, comprehensive, and sensitive
to the complexities of modern life, Gray examines the Gospels as a
script that reveals not only how Jesus shaped the first disciples,
but how we must carry on making disciples in His name."
-David B. Capes, Thomas Nelson Research Professor, Houston
Baptist University

Discipleship is not about teaching someone to pray and read his
or her Bible; it is about learning how Jesus wants us to pray and
read our Bibles. Discipleship is not about the doctrine of the
Church, but the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the head of the Church.
It is not about attending a church service, but attending to the
Lord Jesus's view of what it means to be the church.
In "Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective," author George Gray
presents a guide for becoming a disciple the way Jesus intended,
that discipleship means adhering to His expressed will. Gray
carefully examines Jesus's pivotal statements regarding
discipleship and unearths the key principles that transform the art
of making a disciple from a subjective guessing game to an
objective and definitive master plan.
Including purposeful questions and exercises, "Discipleship from
Jesus's Perspective" provides practical steps for following the
master plan and applying the commands to everyday life to become a
true disciple of Jesus.
Alberto is an energetic, people-pleasing eighth grader. He seems to
have it all--from the junior high varsity team to his family's
beautiful new home to leadership in his youth group. But he feels
pressured by team members who mock his Christianity and rejected by
his dad whose work requires more and more travel. His young
spiritual life is in a precarious place. Last year, as a high
school sophomore, Jonathan began spending time with some
recreational drug users. He was confident in his ability to hang
out with these guys without getting involved with drugs. But he
crossed the line. Jonathan is broken and cannot find his way back
to the comfort of his previous trust in Jesus. Rachel is estranged
from her parents. In her freshman year at college, she is sharing
an apartment with her boyfriend. She is torn between her emotional
dependence on his attention and the fear that he will once again
hurt her in a drunken rage. She has tried church but deemed it to
be unsafe for a person like herself. This generation is the first
to travel a truly postmodern pilgrimage where religious pluralism
and faddish spiritual experiences are in vogue while Christianity
is considered out of style. You want to reach them. But how?
Richard Dunn suggests that the key is to set the pace in their
lives--physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
Pacing takes time. It requires listening to youth and digging
beneath the surface. But it pays off, because pacing allows you to
enter the world of an adolescent and communicate caring. In this
book, Dunn shows you how to set the pace with sensitivity to the
unique spiritual issues that occur during each stage of adolescent
development: junior high, senior high and college.
