Live from Middle America

Rants from a Red-state Comedian

By: Brad Stine

Of the hundreds of comedians I've seen, Brad Stine is the best . . . side-splittingly funny, smart, and edgy." -Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life Hilarious and thought-provoking, Brad Stine is a comedian who hails from-of all places-Middle America. So what happens when a conservative who is convinced that America is the greatest country on the planet, except for all the idiocies that have infiltrated it at the callous-free, baby-soft hands of liberals, gets the opportunity to rant on the page? By-products of "liberal lunacy," such as bump signs on our highways, airbags for safety, the decline of tobacco use, the contagion of Starbucks, and garden-variety political correctness, become grist for Stine's comedic mill. Laugh-out-loud funny and acutely insightful, Live from Middle Americawill prove irresistible to those who recognize themselves in its pages, and marks the publishing debut of one of conservative America's most original voices.

This conservative Christian comedian doesn't use profanity to get laughs, just good old-fashioned common sense.

For anyone who's had enough of latte-drinking, Volvo-driving, politically correct liberal America, How to Think Right will come as a breath of fresh air—if only you can stop laughing.

Being a Christian Without Being an Idiot!

11 Assumed Truths That Make Us Look Stupid

By: Brad Stine "God's Comic"

Jesus said, “The truth shall set you free,” which, by implication, must mean, “The false will imprison you.” From personal experiences in his ministry through comedy, Brad Stine has chosen eleven concepts to consider as a Christian, like: • All “true” Christians will be offended by the same things and • Sinners are worse people than I am. Are they really true, or do we just believe them to be credible—even though there’s no biblical support for them? More importantly, how does the belief in their veracity affect non-believers if we’re wrong? Brad has carefully considered these ideas, as well as lived many of them. Some of you reading this may disagree with some of his conclusions, but if this book causes you to reevaluate what your faith means to you and in what shape it can come to you, then it has done its job. Christians are different from each other in our theology, denominations, and social interactions, and you know what? That’s AS IT SHOULD BE! Christians who have taken the “If you don’t all behave exactly like me, then you’re not really a Christian” road have done the greatest disservice to furthering the Gospel! “Brad Stine is a treasure! He delivers hard-hitting truth while being insanely funny, as though George Carlin had been filled with the Holy Ghost! We need much more of his voice in our culture.” — Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and host of the nationally-syndicated Eric Metaxas Show

Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions

By: Brad Steiger,Sherry Hansen Steiger

The mysteries of strange visitors is explored, revealed and recounted by two respected experts on the unexplained and paranormal. Are we alone or are there intelligent life-forms out there? Or are they already amongst us? Can we even know the Truth? Exploring the myths, stories, history, and facts of documented encounters, mysterious experiences, and unexplained visitors, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger examines the “other” forms, entities and beings inhabiting our universe. Building on their decades of research into the paranormal, mystical, and supernatural, the Steigers analyze the influences and theories behind these mysterious “visitors,” whether they appear as aliens, ghosts, spirits, angels, demons, monsters, or some other form. The visitors have been called metaterrestrial, extradimensional, interdimensional, ultraterrestrial, and supraphysical intelligences, but regardless of the label, these inscrutable existences have left their mark on the people they've met—and a host of weird, wondrous, and horrifying stories. There are more than 200 thought-provoking stories that make you wonder about the Truth, including ... A U.S. Air Force jet chasing a UFO in the form of a blue fireball A ten year-old's encounter with an angelic, beautiful, glowing girl in the woods A troubling figure from the Spirit World spreads an eerie cold light A medieval monk, with a long, flowing robe and a huge hood covering his face An out-of-body experience and directions to utter a prayer that ultimately saves a life A visit from a recently deceased grandmother As well as stories on time-travel, strange energies, dreams, meditation, unidentified terrestrial life forms, and more. Tracing the perplexing and lasting effects of these otherworldly beings, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions exposes their power and reach throughout centuries of legends, myths, and today's world. Read with care!

Un-Dead TV

The Ultimate Guide to Vampire Television

By: Brad Middleton

Vampires are ubiquitous in our popular culture--from movies to television, in fiction and art, and even within the hallowed halls of academia. But in the not-so-distant past, these undead creatures held more fear than fascination; they lived in the shadows and were the stuff of nightmares. In 1897, Bram Stoker introduced Dracula to the Western world--and our concept of vampires was changed forever. For over sixty years, the undead have bled the television airwaves, appearing in every type of programming imaginable. Un-Dead TV catalogues over one thousand unique vampire appearances—and is the first book of its kind to explore this phenomenon to the extent that it truly deserves.

A Shared Future

Faith-Based Organizing for Racial Equity and Ethical Democracy

By: Richard L. Wood,Brad R. Fulton

“A hopeful testimony to how racial injustice can begin to be addressed constructively within one form of democratic practice.” —Sociology of Religion Faith-based community organizers have spent decades working for greater equality in American society, and more recently have become significant players in shaping at the highest levels of government. In A Shared Future, Richard L. Wood and Brad R. Fulton draw on a national study of community organizing coalitions and in-depth interviews of key leaders to show how faith-based organizing is creatively navigating the competing aspirations of America’s universalist and multiculturalist democratic ideals, even as it confronts three demons bedeviling American politics: economic inequality, federal policy paralysis, and racial inequity. With a broad view of the entire field and a distinct empirical focus on the PICO National Network, Wood and Fulton’s analysis illuminates the tensions, struggles, and deep rewards that come with pursuing racial equity within a social change organization and in society. Ultimately, A Shared Future offers a vision for how we might build a future that embodies the ethical democracy of the best American dreams. “A critically important book.” —Mark R. Warren—author of A Match on Dry Grass: Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform “Loaded with firsthand accounts, accessible critical analyses, and spirited conviction, this book exemplifies religious witness and political participation.” —Christian Century “Unabashedly promoting a liberal agenda to address issues of growing inequality, poverty, educational disparities, racial injustice, voter suppression, and policy paralysis at the national level. Highly recommended.” —Choice “A remarkable achievement. . . . Timely and relevant.” —American Journal of Sociology

Enterprising Waters

The History and Art of New York's Erie Canal

By: Brad L. Utter

Chronicles the story of the Erie Canal from its inception to today. One of the largest public works projects in American history, the Erie Canal inspired a nationwide transportation revolution and directed the course of New York and American history. When completed in 1825, the engineering marvel unlocked the Western interior for trade and settlement, boomtowns sprang up along the canal’s path, and New York City grew to be the nation’s most powerful center of international trade. Millions of people poured into New York (and some through it) to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities provided by the canal, influencing settlement and the social, political, and commercial landscapes of America. Produced in honor of the bicentennial of the beginning of construction of the canal, Enterprising Waters—a companion catalog to the New York State Museum’s exhibition of the same name—includes reproductions of objects and images from the collections of more than thirty-five different institutions and individual lenders. It also contains reproductions of fifty-nine works of art used in the companion exhibition “Art of the Erie Canal.” Themes of politics, engineering, commerce, life on the canal, and more are paired with full color images of artifacts, documents, and images to bring this unique American story to life, from its inception to today. “Enterprising Waters is, like the Erie Canal itself, an ambitious achievement. Its spectacular visual images vividly portray the waterway’s material world as well as its artistic legacy, while the accompanying text concisely covers two centuries of Erie Canal history. No matter how much, or how little, readers know already about New York’s artificial waterways, they can learn from (and enjoy!) this beautiful catalog.” — Carol Sheriff, author of The Artificial River: The Erie Canal and the Paradox of Progress, 1817–1862 “A fine presentation in words and images of the great project that inspired New York and the nation.” — Gerard Koeppel, author of Bond of Union: Building the Erie Canal and the American Empire
