The Fifth Freedom

Guaranteeing an Opportunity-Rich Childhood for All

By: David Erickson

It is within our power to provide an opportunity-rich childhood for all In 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt delivered his famous Four Freedoms speech. In that speech Roosevelt proposed that all Americans should be granted the freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. In his new book, The Fifth Freedom, senior vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York David Erickson makes the case for the freedom to an open future. The status quo in the United States is unfair and expensive. We spend too much on downstream consequences of people living in poverty rather than spending money on the upstream conditions that would guarantee an opportunity-rich childhood for all. A strong foundation in childhood is the best predictor of a healthy and productive adulthood. A commitment to the fifth freedom would save trillions on avoided chronic disease, incarceration, educational failures, and lost productivity. The Fifth Freedom calls for place-based institutions that support growth and development—good schools, well-funded libraries, safe streets and public spaces, quality health care, spiritual homes, and well-functioning transportation that puts other essential amenities in reach, especially jobs—that work in concert with individual interventions—tutoring, counseling, and coaching. Not providing children with the resources they need is more expensive than reacting the negative consequences of not having them.

The Flourishing Family

A Jesus-Centered Guide to Parenting with Peace and Purpose

By: DAVID. ERICKSON,Amanda Erickson

When it comes to Christian parenting, we crave confidence, wisdom, and―most of all―peace. We pray for peace when our little ones are tossed about by waves of emotions, for connection and confidence when navigating stressful mornings and exhausting nights, and for wisdom in knowing how best to discipline our kids. As Christian parents, we're desperate to "get it right," to raise our children to be strong, courageous followers of Jesus―and yet, despite the overload of endless advice at our fingertips, we often feel completely and utterly lost. You can become the parent Christ has called you to be―and change your home and family from the inside out. In The Flourishing Family, Dr. David and Amanda Erickson offer a new parenting perspective―one that cultivates peace, gentleness, and confidence. Deeply rooted in Scripture and backed by modern neuroscience as well as insight into child development, their book will equip you to rethink common assumptions about what the Bible says about parenting―and align your parenting approach with the teachings of Jesus and your identity in Him, cultivate the inner peace needed to lead and guide your family with Christ, and His grace, at the center, critically assess various gentle parenting principles through a Gospel lens so that you can respond to your child with understanding and patience, honoring the divine image and unique personality God created them to have, and use compassionate discipline as discipleship to focus on the heart behind your child's actions, addressing the developmental or neurological roots of their behavior rather than merely correcting or punishing their actions or choices. Your legacy is not defined by your parenting perfection but by your commitment to follow in the way of Jesus and to trust His Spirit to cultivate the seeds you're diligently planting throughout your children's lives. Trust that He will meet you in these pages―and that He will transform your hearts and home.

The Franklin Family Odyssey Homesteading in Alaska

The Beginning

By: David W Erickson

The Franklin family began its odyssey in Northern California in the early 40's. After being married in Southern California they moved north and built a log cabin in Northern California. Within a year of their marriage, the family had a little boy, Johnny. A couple years later twins, Donald and Denny, were born. This is when Johnny started having his "dream." The book tells stories of Johnny and his brothers as they grow up. Later the eldest son (Johnny) gets married and he and his in-laws, Jack and Mary Jones, decide to move to Alaska and homestead there. A little while after the Jones and Johnny arrived in Alaska, the rest of the Franklin family decided to come north as well. Within a year the Jones and Franklins had built two cabins and Becka, Johnny's wife had a little baby, little Johnny. The families struggle through rough winters, wet springs and illnesses. Injuries occurred and Johnny kept dreaming the same dream. Later in the title came the deadly hunt, the house fire and the miracle. This book is the first in a series called 'The Franklin Family Odyssey.' David was born into a preacher's home in the late forties. He moved to Alaska as a married man in 1981. He was always an adventurer. In the 80's he staked an Alaskan homestead of forty acres and built a log cabin that next winter. He and Janice and their adopted daughter, Reyna, braved a winter in the cabin in the middle nineties. They learned various survival skills. Those long dark winter nights were a good time to reflect on the things of God. Some of the ideas for the fiction series, The Franklin Family Odyssey, were formulated in his mind way back then. Our author has a passion for God and has studied the Word concerning the happenings in the 'last days.
