The decade of the 1920s began in turmoil and ended in turmoil, but, in between, Americans breezed through the amazing years known as the ""Roaring Twenties."" Primary sources -- letters, diaries, news accounts, interviews, poetry, and a host of illustrations -- depict Prohibition, gangsters, political corruption, the rebirth of the KKK, new immigration policies, jazz, flappers, movies, sports stars, aviation heroes, easy money, and playing the stock market.

A lot of Christians think they are saved, or they think that they are doing the right thing. Some don’t think they need to do much to be saved. Some will act like a Christian when at a Church service, but then be very worldly away from Church. Some love this world so much, that they cannot bear to come out of it. But God does tell His people to come out of Babylon. What does that mean? Who needs to come out of Babylon? What does it mean for you?

The Enlightenment was a period of intense intellectual fervor that lasted from approximately 1650 to 1789. More a spirit than an organized movement, it sought to cast the light of understanding on the darkness of humanity's ignorance and selfishness. This book takes a look at the key players involved in the movement, from its roots in Europe to its movement across the ocean to the new nation of the United States.

In the late 1890s, relations between the United States and Spain were crumbling. The focus of the problem was the island of Cuba, a Spanish colony. Americans were outraged by the harsh treatment of Cubans striving to attain independence. U.S. business interests balked as investments in Cuba collapsed. After an explosion on the U.S. battleship Maine, the Spanish-American War began.

In this wonderful children's book adventure, a group of unusual animal characters called the "STRANGEES",invite you to their beautiful tropical island home. This first of a series of adventure books tells of a terrible storm that knocks down many of the trees on their island home. Although they are sad about the destruction, and realizing that they must clean up their island home, HOOPLEE suggests his "Great Idea". The STRANGEES will all work together to build a big raft from the fallen trees and other island materials. They all excitedly get to work. This story not only celebrates the joy of working together to accomplish a commom goal, but also demonstrates to children that its' ok to be different, both of which helps to build self esteem. The STRANGEES each have their own individual characteristics and personalities. Some will exhibit leadership qualities that the others will look to for guidance and assurance in thier day to day life. Some will exhibit teamwork and organizational skills that always seem to add the dimension of cohesiveness to everything that the group does together. Some characters will always want to do things with others, while a few tend to be more independent, or deep within themselves. Some will be more outgoing, even mischievous, and somehow always right in the middle of everything that is going on. Still others will be shy, maybe even timid, requiring support and reassurance from the others. Children will begin to identify themselves through one or more of the STRANGEES characters, and this will make them feel as though they are actually part of the adventures themselves. Overall, the STRANGEES will always strive to embrace that which makes us all unique and special, and convey that in a positive light, with love, caring, and a sense of family and acceptance.
