Additional Info
…our country has fallen deeper into the abyss of apathy, low expectations, and dependence on government rather than commitment to excellence, expectation of achievement, and fierce dedication to liberty.
Carl Pittman is unflinching in speaking his truth, and his plainspoken insights let light into the darkness of our country’s increasingly aggressive ignorance. The foundation for his life philosophy comes from his mother, a devoted, ferociously wise woman.
Mama could not read, could barely write her name, and struggled for most of her fifty years on this earth, but always told us that being poor didn’t mean you had to be a thief, because you could work, nor be dirty, because soap was cheap.
“Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who’s doing it.”
This last maxim-which should be simple to understand-lends perspective to many of the issues our country handles with kid gloves because of the race of those involved. Many white Americans despise President Obama because of his race. Many black Americans find no fault with Obama for the same reason. In fact, both positions are racist. Pittman’s position?
Barack Obama should be prosecuted…because his politics are being placed above the safety and security of this nation.
The Constitution is under attack from parties who prefer an a la carte body of law. Concerning the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Pittman opines, “Had there been a good guy with a gun there, I believe the outcome would have been much different.”
The Personal Journey of a Black Common Sense Conservative is not, in the end, about politics. It is about, very simply, what’s right and fair in alignment with what the term American truly means. Pittman’s is a bold and refreshing voice hoping to drown out the roaring passivity of a complacent, entitled society.

Be Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes:
*I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
*I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
*I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.
*I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors.
*I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger.
*I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others.
*I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships.
*I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 3 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

Life Lessons From Philippians
$14.99An unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. The list could go on. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires. His confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson in this updated edition of the bestselling series includes an opening reflection, a description of the context in which the passage was written, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration and reflection questions on the passage, inspirational thoughts on the theme from Max Lucado, and a closing Life Lessons takeaway and personal devotion.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
