English | 2012 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0062066331 | EPUB | 1,5 mb
The most powerful populist movement in nearly a century, the Tea Party is currently reconfiguring American government at every level. In Covenant of Liberty, Michael Patrick Leahy, one of the movement’s early leaders, explores the Tea Party’s ideological origins, tracing them back to the traditions of English liberty that inspired our Founding Fathers. Leahy clearly and cogently defines the Tea Party for anyone misled by the campaign of misinformation launched by political opponents who falsely brand it as racist and xenophobic, demonstrating instead how its core principles of limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility place it squarely in the mainstream of the American founding tradition. He also sheds light on its unique organizational methods, and shows its growing international appeal. Covenant of Liberty is a must read for all concerned Americans who want to know how their nation began, where it is going, and where it must go.

Free Download Making Wonderful: Ideological Roots of Our Eco-Catastrophe by Martin Tweedale

In Making Wonderful, Martin M. Tweedale tells how an ideology in the West energized an economic expansion that has led to ecological disaster. He takes us back to the rise of cities and autocratic rulers, analyzing how respect for custom and tradition gave way to the dominance of top-down rational planning and organization. Then in response came a highly attractive myth of an eventual future rid of all of humankind’s ills, one in which life would be "made wonderful." Originating in Zoroastrianism and, through Jewish apocalyptic works, flowing into early Christianity, this myth produced utopian beliefs that set the West apart from the other civilizations. Tweedale shows how these beliefs became popular among Western elites in the early modern period and eventually resulted in the distinctly Western doctrine of progress. This doctrine, an almost religious faith in the capacity of science and technology to improve human life, released economic expansion from traditional constraints and has led to our current environmental emergency. Exploring sources from philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas, Making Wonderful is for all readers who are intellectually curious about the roots of our eco-catastrophe.

Bestselling author Michael Phillips believes that the United States is on a collision course toward a new civil war. But a different kind of war. An ideological civil war, growing out of the erosion of virtues that have been the strength of the nation’s relational, spiritual, and ethical fabric for over two hundred years. When this war breaks out, it will cause more chaos and division even than that caused by the political strife of the past two decades. Institutions, families, and churches will be split in ways we cannot yet envision. Dramatic change is coming to America, and soon. Now is the time to prepare for it in our personal lives, families, and churches.
