A fresh, clear, joyful guide for parents on how to teach their children to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

GIVE THEM JESUS aims to help parents not simply add to their children's stockpile of knowledge, but to cultivate children-disciples who are able to display Christ-likeness in every situation. Parents are the ones primarily responsible for opening up the Scriptures to help their children understand God, the world, and themselves. The family is the divinely appointed discipleship program; the home is first and foremost a place of worship. The introduction of the book discusses the four vital components of family worship: teach, treasure, sing, and pray, and offers practical suggestions for beginning and prioritizing family worship in the rough and tumble of life.

Subsequent chapters guide parents to a deeper understanding of the core truths of the historic Christian faith, as summarized in the Apostles' Creed, arming them with appropriate language, helpful illustrations, and relevant object lessons, so that in the end they will be better prepared to pass these truths on to their children.

GIVE THEM JESUS equips parents to prepare their children to leave home and go out into the world as faithful participants in the great gospel story. "Never stop telling the gospel story to your kids," Thornton says. "Give your children Jesus. Again. And again.

And again. And you'll see them walk in the truth."

Essay by Helen Dortch Longstreet concerning her re-appointment to the Gainesville, Georgia, Post Office

This genealogy of the Southern branch of the Longstreet family with it related lines by Edward Mayes provides a unique view of the relationships which produced such prominent figures like William Longstreet, the inventor, Confederate General James Longstreet, Lee's "Old Warhorse," and the Rev. A. B. Longstreet, judge, legislator, author and educator. There are also a few lesser known names like Daniel Longstreet the Continental Marine, Gilbert Longstreet, a "Son of Texas," and James C. Longstreet, Judge and Chancellor of the Univ. of Mississippi. While the text reveals an interesting lineup of notable related individuals like Thomas Blossom, who came over on the Mayflower, and Supreme Court Justice L.Q.C. Lamar, the story's main focus is on the Longstreet line as it passes from the immigrant ancestor through Judge Longstreet and the events which center on his family and life. Along the way, Mayes expounds in great detail on early Dutch life in New York and New Jersey. The Longstreet manuscript contains numerous footnotes (converted to endnotes), several interesting appendices, and a very convenient index. If you are just starting your research and think you may be related to someone in this family, or if you are a more advanced researcher taking a more detailed look at the interrelated families, this book is a simple and convenient place to research your line.

The reason I wrote this book is because, like me, a lot of people in the body of Christ are in need of a breakthrough. Some are in desperate need. And some people may not know how to get a breakthrough. The Lord has shown me that one of His Old Testament names is Jehovah Perazim, which means Lord of the breakthroughs. However, before there can be a breakthrough there must be a time of testing and patient endurance. This book will show how through praise and laughter we can receive the breakthrough we need to see our dreams fulfilled.

This story by Helen D. Longstreet is a commentary on the serious social issues of the early twentieth century. Her two-part narrative takes place in Blue Ridge mountains of North Georgia. Part one involves Margaret's romance with her lover, Captain Pulliam, and the tough choices she must make for her family. The second part describes the efforts by Katy to help her brother, little Billy Elrod, who is dying from a consumptive disease caused by a cotton mill somewhere near the Tallulah River. A big city power company has dammed the river above the beautiful Terrorah Falls he loves so dear. A powerful storm breaks the dam and lets the river run free again in the spectacular gorge. Billy is eager to see the misty rainbows above the falls one last time . . . .

As one of the greatest generals to emerge from the War Between the States, James Longstreet fought in nearly every major battle of the Civil War . . . Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness and many others, but it was his stand after the war and his efforts to help heal the Union which further define him as a man apart. As a result, controversy followed him for the rest of his life. Not much is known about his family and even less about his personal life . . . and much of what is known has been inaccurately portrayed or deliberately biased by historians. Only recently have scholars taken another, closer look at this great warrior. They have exposed the deliberate lies of the Lee cult designed to ruin his reputation. General James Longstreet: A Family Portrait is a genealogy and attempts to define the man by taking a closer look at his progenitors and prodigy, those who came before him and those he left behind. It is a fascinating tapestry of nobility, adventurers and everyday people. Masterly woven together and easy to follow through the generations, it's a story well worth reading.

This series of short essays by Helen D. Longstreet, second wife of Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, was first compiled and published in 1917 by A. B. Caldwell Publishing Co. in Atlanta, Ga. For the most part they are interesting stories about events which occurred during and after the Civil War. Helen talks about her family and how she met and fell in love with the old soldier, a man 40 years her senior. She vehemently defends her husband against scurrilous accusations spewed forth by the Lee cult, a group of ex-Confederates, who sabotaged the reputation of anyone who was bold enough to criticize any aspect of General Robert E. Lee's conduct during the war.

At eighty-three Helen has had enough of world conflict and wars. In this essay she preaches about what she perceives as an attainable path to world peace. Born during the Civil War she has seen the devastation and misery caused by the world's great powers struggling for supremacy and domination of vast stretches of humanity. She has lived through two world wars and numerous smaller conflicts, but now, at the end of World War II, she sees a threat to humanity itself, atomic power. Helen calls for the establishment of two world confederations of peace, one composed of the women of the world and the other of everyone else. She produces testimonials from various influential people to support her cause. Finally, she plugs for her long dead husband, Confederate General James Longstreet, in her continuing effort to rehabilitate his tarnished reputation.

The great myth of horse racing is that the game is the regal and royal Sport of Kings. It isn't. Not by a long shot.
Anyone who doubts this need look no further than Suffolk Downs, a once-proud racecourse graced in its glory years by boisterous throngs and champions such as Seabiscuit. Now the blue-collar East Boston track is one of many that have fallen on hard times. These days "Sufferin' Downs" is where grizzled Thoroughbreds come to end their careers, hopeful young jockeys aspire against daunting odds to begin them, and diehard fans cheer, curse and gamble on the entire fascinating spectacle. These bit players are not just cogs of a single, struggling horse track. They are the unseen supporting cast for a $15 billion betting industry.
In fifteen years as a racing reporter and press box personality, T.D. Thornton gained access to remote corners of racetrack life off limits to the general public. He got to know the raucously Runyonesque characters and the quirky personalities of the horses; he learned the tricks of the trade from trainers, owners, and jockeys; he witnessed the tragedies and small triumphs of racing lives lived below the radar. One recent season, he finally decided to write it all down.
"Not by a Long Shot" is a deeply textured portrait of an industry where even the best in the business lose 75 percent of the time.
