Kevin Turnbaugh is a logistics management specialist for the US Army at New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. His work is performed, and this book was written, on a computer equipped with screen reader software that allows the blind to hear what is shown on the screen and input the data or words, using keystroke functions instead of the mouse. It is from his more than twenty-five years of service as a civilian in the army and from his numerous years of exposure to the ministry that Kevin has become the source of information on current affairs in our country and churches, attitudes surrounding those areas of life, and the threats to our freedoms as Christians. It is from these areas of work and ministry exposure that Kevin has developed the background for his two previous books, Time Witnessing and Critical Condition, as well as the information and contents of this book. By using the Ten Commandments provided to Moses and to us today, he brings forth the how and why of living as a Christian and considers where all of us fail, including his own failings and shortcomings.

Critical Condition tackles several issues in our country today for which the lack of using common sense has simply taken us down a road of bureaucratic nonsense, leaving fears of offending someone if our laws do not fit into the far lefters expectations and laws being circumvented by our courts today. From the trillion dollar health care bill to our ridiculous income tax laws to worrying about offending those who attacked the US on September 11, 2001, our countrys use of common sense is in Critical Condition. In the pages of this book you will find a fair hearing on each issue, as well as how common sense can and will make things better for all of us.
Confrontational Christianity addresses many of those issues facing Christians in today's world. The book looks at the various types of Christians, from those who are passive to those who strap on their "whole armor of God," and come out swinging their two edged swords, the Bible. The fact that the infamous "separation of church and state" is not law and that courts and those who file suits using this as the basis of their suits has no legal bearing on how decisions concerning public display of crosses, Christian flags, Ten Commandment monuments, or anything associated with Christmas do in no way violate the Constitution of the United States of America. In addition, that Christians opposing abortion, same sex marriage, and/or the gay and lesbian lifestyle is not a hate crime. The book gets into the weeds of how Christians should deal with these threats to our freedoms and how we should not. The many attacks on our Christian youth, what they are, and especially how they can and should deal with them today. Avoidance and preventing those temptations put before our youth, plus what measures they can do themselves to keep from falling into the sinful acts. Finally you will learn how Christians can say "no" to political, religious, and other types of threats sent our way by Satan and his demons. The persecution of the Christians is here, so we need to know how to address them, avoid them, and most of all confront them according to God's Word.
As the son of a minister, author Kevin Turnbaugh had the truths from the Bible as part of his life right from his birth. His life was dramatically changed in August of 1984, when his eye doctor gave him the news that he was going blind from the incurable eye disease retinitis pigmentosa. In early 1998, he went totally blind from this disease. Turnbaughs vivid memories of two visits to Israel and his background in service in and around the church and in government, have given him special insight on the matters of our country today and the threats to our freedoms and to the family. Detailed study of Gods Word and sitting under the teachings of several ministers of the Bible have helped Kevin form his understanding of what we need to do about these issues today and why each person needs to be ready for the imminent return of Christ. This provides a unique mathematical manner of understanding how long eternity will be, whether your future home is heaven or hell.
Few of us, amidst our daily chores and responsibilities, consider how mundane infrastructures—from electrical grids to sewage systems—have developed over millennia in ways that enable everything we cherish, from democracy to technological innovation to individual liberty. But what drives the evolution of this infrastructure? And why is infrastructure so critical to human flourishing? In this book, the most innovative and interdisciplinary study of cultural evolution ever produced, new concepts are explored, new histories are brought into contact and new ground-breaking insights are defended. What makes creativity unique in human societies is not only our capacity to generate and modify our diverse individual intuitions about the social and physical world, but also our capacity to form and leave groups fluidly in a dancing rhythm of oscillation across the expanse of history. This book walks the reader carefully through these processes, with clear concepts and an approachable writing style.
This is three books in one: an impressionistic account (based on the aestheticism of Walter Pater) of the dancer's homoerotic career, a deconstructive analysis of his gay male reception (drawn from the semiotics of Roland Barthes), and an exploration of the limitations of that analysis.
