Many political books list American societal and political problems but stop short of presenting solutions. Dr. Boggs explains the context and concepts that our Founders applied while structuring our federal system. He then applies those God-centered concepts with credible physical and online sources so the reader can conceptualize solving today's critical problems in America.The author shows you how to evaluate statements on the internet and determine facts on current issues. Then you will be informed as you work to: increase personal morals, strengthen your family, protect your rights, meet civic responsibilities, improve local schools, assimilate legal immigrants, find and grow with a religious group, and more. You may read specific chapters which apply to problems painful to you or read the full book to greatly increase your participation in, and rewards from, the American way of life.Dr. Boggs describes step-by-step actions you can implement to improve American society while personally growing as a God-centered individual. America gives us significant values: freedom, a way of life, and opportunities for which people still risk their lives to immigrate. If these values disappear, they will be lost forever.

By living quixotically, Gabriel teaches her that there is poetry in an otherwise prosaic world.In her journey to retirement and beyond, Iantha experiences joy and love, in their many forms.

Meanwhile, Gabriel reveals the secrets of the "drops of rain" (and other ethereal yet relatable tales) through his poetry.Iantha's musings on navigating both a "Happily" and an "Ever After" are often humorous, poignant, and authentic.

God's Return On Investment is based on the perception that God is constantly involved in our lives and is training us to understand what He and Jesus did for us and do for us. In order to gain insight into the spiritual realm, where God wants us to have a relationship with Him, He utilizes what we understand through physical properties. In other words, what we are familiar with, that occurs in our day-to-day lives, is actually just examples of what God wants us to understand spiritually. This book takes us through the journey of our lives from birth to death by utilizing the aspect of returns that occur in each phase of our life. God put this property of returns into His plan before Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. Before the sin was committed, He established the way for revitalizing the originally intended relationship between Him and us through His son Jesus. Now He wants us to see, through physical returns, what has been done for us by way of His investment. The things that went wrong in the Garden of Eden are counteracted by our human representative in the Garden...of Gethsemane. Why has He done all of this? Because He has always loved us and wants us to love Him as was originally intended before sin entered the world.
