Paperback. Condición: Very Good. American political life is presently in a death spiral, drowning in a sea of increasingly complex laws. There is an assault against the unalienable rights of life, liberty and property, orchestrated by the top-down god-state. Can we take Occam's razor, rooted in the proactive, and cut out all the reactive elements? Can we cut out the metastasizing cancer of distrust, and restore the health of trust and simplicity throughout our common political life? Here, there are four ideas for consideration: 1.First, the six pillars of honest politics start with our unique national identity and foundation - unalienable rights given by the Creator that belong to all people equally - life, liberty, property and thus, the power to pursue happiness. Under the second unalienable right, this means that the intrinsic nature of the Gospel advances religious, political and economic liberty for all people equally. 2.Second, these pillars serve a level playing field for all ideas to be heard equally, and by definition, are pre-partisan in nature. 3.Third, these pillars serve checks and balances on power in government, according to the consent of the governed. 4.And fourth is the sharp application of Occam's razor, to reduce needless redundancies, or to keep it simple. Here I propose a model for a simplified state constitution and likewise for the U.S. Constitution, to cut state laws and the U.S. Code by well over 99 percent.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. There are two choices in life: Give and it will be given or take before you are taken. Imagine yourself at Smith College, and an evangelical minister speaks these words to the president of the National Organization for Women. In a forum where the nature of feminism, marriage and the Bible were in focus, the mostly skeptical audience responded well. Real theology for the grass roots can be summed up in the six pillars of biblical power. This language flows out of an application of the shema that Jesus taught - to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This is the power to overcome any and all obstacles we face in a broken world:1.The power to give2.The power to live in the light3.The power of informed choice4.The power to love hard questions5.The power to love enemies6.The power to forgive The whole Bible, or Theology 101 if you will, can be summed up in seven words: God gave, we blew it, he forgave. The powers to give and forgive are the bookends of the Bible, and on the one hand are very simple to understand, but on the other, very difficult to live out.For disciples of Jesus as Lord and Messiah, these six pillars produce honest lives in the presence of all people - believers and unbelievers alike. Even a burned-out skeptic, of the Bible and the church, will find these pillars attractive to the human soul. …
