What does it mean to think, believe, and act like an American? Get the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other important United States historical documents all in one book! The soul of America is far more than a concept-it is a people. Even the most sacred principles mean very little unless lived out passionately by an informed citizenry. In The Portable Patriot you'll find a carefully assembled sampling of American history's most formative words, written by the people who made that extraordinary history-George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and many more of America's Founding Fathers. Speeches and sermons, essays and extracts, poems and proclamations illumine such values as independence, virtue, humility, bravery, thrift, prayer, enterprise, liberty, and reliance on God. While peering back to the cradle of America's national identity, The Portable Patriot also points a way forward, compelling us to heed poet John Dickinson's plea to "rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call." "Nothing ignites a patriot's heart-or the hope that the truths of our founding era will prevail again-like the documents assembled in The Portable Patriot. How grateful we should be, and how quick to make these historic words our own." ?Stephen Mansfield, author, The Forgotten Founding Father and The Faith of the American Soldier "Our current struggles over taxation, federal debt, and limited government are part of a larger American story. Kudos to Miller and Parrish for highlighting these essential passages." ?Hon. Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News Channel

The war against drugs was supposed to make America better, right? It failed. Not only does the drug war fail to keep Americans from using drugs, but its crackdown tactics also produce bigger problems than it promises to solve. In this fearlessly audacious book, Joel Miller shows that drug prohibition creates tremendous amounts of crime and corruption, helps finance anti-American terrorists, makes a joke out of U.S. border security, chips away at constitutional liberties, militarizes law enforcement, and jails hundreds of thousands of Americans. And for what? A bigger, more intrusive government that cares less and less about individual rights. Told in a bold, uncompromising style, Miller's book reveals the true and terrible nature of the war on drugs and also, just as importantly, informs readers about what they can do to kick the drug-war habit.

"Miller nails it," says Larry Elder, host of ABC Radio's nationally syndicated Larry Elder Show and best-selling author. "He powerfully and persuasively articulates the folly, the harm and the unconstitutionality of our government's War against Drugs." And says Judge Andrew P. Napolitano of Fox News, "If you are interested in our freedoms or fearful of the government destroying human lives and wasting tax dollars on another American Prohibition, read this book and send a copy to every lawmaker and judge you know."

If you want to understand the drug problem in America, you first need to know how the government is making it worse. "Bad Trip" is the place to start.

Explores the relationship between people and angels, through the eyes of the early church.

Heaven is closer than we realize. Its boundaries overlap our own, and angels move in and out of our porous present, this moment that seems to us so solid and concrete. If that reality seems dim to us now, it beamed for the early Christians. Through their writings, sermons, songs, and art, the ancient faithful confessed a powerful and vivid belief that angels help carry us on our journey to God.

Rooted in the Scripture and following this ancient understanding, "Lifted by Angels" reveals: the role that angels play in the lives of people and in God's plan of salvationthe different ranks and functions of angelshow Satan and his demons fell from grace and plagued humansthe functions of guardian angels and how God assigns them to fit our personal needshow guardian angels help us resist evil, temptation, and the devilthe way angels join with us in our prayers, even adding their own to oursthe service angels provide in worship

Featuring examples of angels in ancient icons and frescoes and supported by extensive research on the early church and its pastors, poets, theologians, and artists, "Lifted by Angels" answers universal curiosity about angels and the unseen world, leaving readers inspired and hopeful about the nearness of God.

"Quick in the saddle and fast out of town." Watch one of America's most remarkable heroes come alive through fast-paced prose and gripping storytelling.

He's Famous for his Ride. He's Essential for So Much More.

The story of Paul Revere is the story of the American Revolution.

Always smack dab in the thick of things, he was an ordinary citizen living in extraordinarily turbulent times. Revere played key roles in colonial tax fights and riots, the infamous Boston Massacre, the Tea Party, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, and even the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. In this fast-paced, dramatic account, Paul Revere's life pulses with energy as author Joel J. Miller explores his family and church life along with his revolutionary contribution as a spy, entrepreneur, express rider, freemason, and commercial visionary.

"The story of Paul Revere--a hero of Massachusetts, a hero of America--was never more timely. Nor has it ever been better told than by Joel J. Miller. "The Revolutionary Paul Revere "gallops along with all the drama and intrigue of a great novel, highlighting what makes Revere so essential in the story of America's founding and its growth as a force for freedom in the world. This is a vibrant, vital, and wonderful story."

Una fascinante e inspiradora mirada a la funcion de los angeles en la vida de las personas: como nos guian hacia y a traves de la experiencia salvadora de Cristo.

Y si el cielo estuviera mas cerca de lo que pensamos? Y si sus fronteras se entrecruzaran con las nuestras? Y si los angeles entraran y salieran de nuestro poroso presente, este que nos parece tan real y solido?

Todo es cierto; la realidad puede parecernos oscura en este momento, pero para los primeros cristianos era resplandeciente. A traves de sus escritos, sermones, cantos y arte, los creyentes de la antiguedad confesaban una poderosa y vivida creencia de que los angeles nos ayudan a perseverar en nuestro trayecto hacia Dios.

"Angeles "se remonta a los primeros cristianos y presenta a los lectores modernos una perspectiva de los angeles a traves de los ojos y experiencias de aquellos: como entendieron los dominios angelicos, la guia y proteccion de los angeles y las luchas contra el espiritu maligno y sus demonios. Ya sea en la prueba o en la tentacion, en la alabanza o en la oracion, los angeles estan presentes, listos para ayudarnos y reconfortarnos, guiarnos y corregirnos, caminar con nosotros hasta el borde de la muerte y mas alla, acompanandonos hasta que estemos en los brazos de Cristo.
