ONE KINGDOM, ONE KING is about a search for the Church that Jesus Christ said that He would build. There are many organized religions and denominations who claim to be the true church, but just who or what is the true church? What does its organization look like? I have found that the true Church is a spiritual organism headed by Jesus Christ, not a religious organization or institution built on the traditions of men. I have listened to sermons and read books written by many different authors and lititure from many different evangelical associations; looked at web-sites, and watched religious television shows. Maybe you have too. What I have written is not to agree or disagree with their opinions--it is what I believe from my own research and study of the Holy Scriptures. I want to share this with others who may also be looking for this same Church--for those who seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. I have made every effort to be objective and not to attack persons or personalities, past or present, living or dead. I do however, attack doctrines and beliefs regardless of religious affiliation or church denomination. The issues of Sabbath to Sunday, Christmas and Easter; the Trinity, immortality of the soul, the ever-burning hell; and the role of Israel both past and present are covered, among others. Many of these subjects are rejected or misunderstood by most denominations, although, I believe there are many that would respond, if they were told the truth. My prayer is that this book goes forth serving its purpose: To find the lost sheep of Israel--and to draw them out of the world's evil organized religious system; bringing them together in harmony with God's Law;bringing them into ONE KINGDOM under ONE KING.

Safe School Ambassadors

Though school shootings are what grab the headlines, an estimated 160,000 students stay home from school because they are afraid of hurtful treatment by their peers. Millions more attend classes fearful of the next insult, intimidating look, or shove, most of which happen out of sight and earshot of adults. For far too many students, school is a minefield; one wrong step can trigger exclusion, ridicule, bullying, or even physical violence.

"Safe School Ambassadors" is an essential guide for school administrators, counselors, teachers, parents, and youth organization leaders. It challenges the current "outside-in" thinking--that keeping schools safe is accomplished primarily by adults through heightened security and stricter policies. It makes the case for a complementary "inside-out" approach that taps the power of students to change the social norms of a school culture in order to stop bullying and violence.

Based on the proven Safe School Ambassadors (SSA) program that has been successfully launched in more than 550 schools, the book provides a roadmap schools can use to empower students with the tools to help stop a broad spectrum of mistreatment. The Safe School Ambassador program also fosters increased tolerance and acceptance of diversity, as well as an environment that encourages higher grades and better attendance.

Praise for "Safe School Ambassadors"

"At a time when many talk about the need to stop bullying and other forms of violence, it is refreshing to encounter a book that shows us how to do so. Safe School Ambassadors offers a unique and powerful approach by empowering bystanders to become peacemakers."
--Barbara Coloroso, educator and author, "The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander"

"This very practical book offers an innovative and proven approach to decreasing violence in schools through student empowerment. It is the only sane solution for ensuring security in our society."
--Deepak Chopra, author, "The Deeper Wound: Recovering the Soul from Fear and Suffering, 100 Days of Healing"

"Bullying and youth violence are critical public health issues that have serious academic, social, and emotional costs. This book provides an antidote that can decrease acts of intolerance and create a healthy and compassionate learning community."
--Deborah Prothrow-Stith, MD, Harvard School of Public Health

"The Safe School Ambassadors program has provided us with a well-designed student-to-student initiative that has made a positive difference in over 30 of our district's schools."
--Alison Adler, Ed. D., chief, safety and learning environment, School District of Palm Beach County, Florida

Packer Backer? Ya, You Betcha Dare is a light hearted look in the mirror of a Green Bay Packers fan. The book attempts to explain (through some very twisted science) how the Packer fans have influenced the success of their Title Town team. Rick Phillips, the author, holds a doctorate in Visual Pscyhophysics from the University of Wisconsin and severely stretches his science background in creating this light and funny read.

Mitt Romney is a Mormon, but does that mean he's a Christian? Does he belong to a cult? Does he wear funny Mormon underwear? These questions and more are answered in this accessible and concise introduction to Mormonism, in which two sociologists of religion take an objective and often humorous look at 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney's beliefs. Geared to voters wondering whether Romney's Mormon faith should affect their vote, COULD I VOTE FOR A MORMON FOR PRESIDENT? comes at key time for those in search of unbiased information about the candidate and his faith.

In this clear and concise book, Dr. Rick Phillips leverages his many years of teaching technology to nontechnical professionals by exploring the use of technology within the nonprofit trade and professional association arena.

The book then moves on to discuss when to build, buy and/or lease technology. The book next goes on to discuss the most commonly used information systems and how these technologies relate to the nonprofit association world. The book culminates with an overview of networking and telephony.

"I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS " is a hilarious narrative of Catholic School in the 1960s as seen through the eyes of a kid stuck right smack in the middle of a nun-run educational system. For every kid who ever felt the snap of a nun's ruler or the sneaky, crisp slap of a shrouded sister, this book pays in recompense. "I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS " will bring tears of laughter to anyone who can empathize with children trying to survive the fanatical discipline of nuns. While witty and marvelously perspicuous throughout, the book is also poignant, and impels readers to be introspective, too. Most notably, the book is funny. "I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS " is a serious, tongue-in-cheek, precise exaggeration that enables readers to put themselves back at their desk and relive for themselves their own school days. This book appeals to everyone who always wanted to go back to those days of yesteryear with an adult mind, and alter the course of classroom history.

Tyren Scott Thomas was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He is a classically trained stage actor who trained at Louisiana State University, as well as being an experienced and caring teacher. He went to Poland to teach English through drama, and then started an English language theatre in Prague, Czech Republic. He became interested in teaching after he came off of tour with the National Theatre for Children. He then began teaching preschool, and fell in love with teaching. As a teacher, he realized the need for this special kind of book. Recognizing the need for a children's story book that can be easily read and shared with children, he developed this unique series of children's books aptly named "readables." Tyren has just returned to the U.S. after teaching special needs children in Ghana, West Africa for two years. He is now back in his home town to promote his specially designed storybooks for children, parents, and teachers.
