Cutting Through the Babble
The Bible Handbook for Rigorous Classroom Instruction
by Herbert Laffey

Whether you view the Bible as sacred truth, harmful ideology, or irrelevant myth, this book challenges assumptions and invites clarity. It speaks to believers, skeptics, and scholars alike. In an age of cultural and political tension, it informs conversations about Biblical values, science, and what it really means to call America a “Christian nation.”

The Healing Blueprint
Breaking Cycles and Building Wholeness
Moana Leanne Kirikino
Softcover, E-book | ISBN: 9798765203385 | $3.99
The emphasis which has been put on mental health over the years has been detailed and important, pushing the need for everyone to confront trauma and the problems facing them in everyday life and finding a means of moving past that trauma. Yet one thing very few people take the time to consider is what happens after that big breakthrough moment. Author Moana Leanne Kirikino's The Healing Blueprint: Breaking Cycles and Building Wholeness takes the time to do just that. ~ The Pacific Book Review
