Books with author Gregg B. Jackson

40 Things is intended to provide parents with a concise and powerful resource to help educate and inform their children (kindergarten to young adult teens and even college age young adults) on a number of what I as a father consider to be the most important spiritual/biblical truths on a number of vital topics, (i.e., life, marriage, truth, the law, the purpose of government, and salvation.) 40 Things is primarily intended to combat/refute the predominant and most popular teachings and philosophies of secular humanism, post-modernism, moral relativism and universalism so pervasive today in our society (sadly even in many Christian circles) and to empower/encourage the next generation to think and act biblically. I am also hoping that the same parents who purchase the book for their kids will also purchase it for any unsaved, skeptical or backslidden family/friends to lead them to the truth of the Gospel. The book has already received rave reviews and endorsements from many Christian leaders and public figures such as Ray Comfort (who wrote the Foreword), R.C. Sproul Jr., Dr. Michael Milton, E. Ray Moore, Dr. Ted Baehr, Steve Deace, and J.C. Watts.

Did those three little pigs tell the truth? What do the other animals say? The official story of “The Three Little Pigs” indicates that incompetent and penniless piglets happened upon hard-working farmers on their way to market; asked them for their loads of straw, lumber, and brick; and—without offering compensation or applying coercion—were graciously given these valuable commodities. The implausibility of this account prompted recent historical research into what actually happened. Despite the intervening centuries, the investigators were able to locate and interview descendants of several other animals who had lived at site of the events and knew the pig family. The research results are reported here for the first time, in language suitable for children ages 4-7, accompanied by 21 illustrations.

He comes upon a beautiful maiden and asks for her help, but she misleads him and creates a scarier dream. Then he comes upon a queen and asks for her assistance, but she leaves him with a nightmare. Finally, he comes upon an old woman and asks for her help. At first, she tempts him with the same false remedies, but by now the boy has learned from his mistakes and refuses them. Impressed with his new maturity, she aids him in finding a path away from the bad dream.The story is intended for children ages 4-8 and has 20 illustrations.
