It is not a book on, or about, religion -that's best left to experts. It's not for "mature" Christians -who will, no doubt, find it extremely lacking -perhaps completely "falling short of the mark". It is simply intended to assist three groups who are open to pursuing the Christian path: a) non-believers, b) pseudo-believers and c) believers with limited historical knowledge and/or context. It's about creating communities of kinship as the foundation for a strong Christian life

Our mission is to help veterans acquire necessary skills so they can navigate towards a better future (i.e., lives of meaning and purpose). It doesn't matter whether they've been out for a long time, a short time, or whether they are still in: we offer all the needed resources. Let's keep it real: in 2020 almost 150 active duty Air Force personnel committed suicide --and no enough people cared enough. It turns out that a number of people join the military between the ages of 18 and 22 because they don't have a better plan; and then a material percentage of those people still don't have a plan upon completion of military duty (sometimes because their active duty skills do not transfer to civilian employment). The VA provides assistance to veterans; but it is not designed to help them become successful. It's so large, bulky and mired in legacy procedures that it's hard to adapt. It's not designed to fix people who were broken at a very young age, by those who were supposed to protect and guide them. So, the question for those not positioned for success is, "what are you going to do about it?" Something's wrong with this picture. Seriously wrong! In this, the wealthiest and most productive country in the history of the world --the country with the best medicine, education, technology, with the most opportunity in the history of the world, how is it possible that veterans are still struggling? Something is very, very wrong; but again, what can be done about it? Simply accept it as a fact of life? Simply, continue to repeat the unsuccessful behavior? (Or, here's an idea, commit to something new) OK, if the system can't solve our problems, who can? Unqualified Family? Friends? NGO's? Do-gooders? Pension-seeking mediocre-people paid to help? (Hint: do what others do: find professionals; not those who promote activities that lead to dependency). Society needs to understand that veterans aren't the problem; They simply need the opportunity and means to properly prepare for their best future.

Our Solution to the problem of Recidivism: We are 100% outcome-oriented. We do not seek government grants. Like any real business, we deliver services that people will pay for. We seek to reduce criminal behavior. Common-sense (and the major studies) make clear that the best way to reduce criminal behavior is through career-employment that is stable, meaningful and at a livable wage (Boom!). Recidivism almost always occurs in people who don't have the skills to obtain (or retain) career-employment they are passionate about. In 2011, taking the lessons learned in California prisons, we started with a simple proposition: Help them learn marketable skills!Knowing that "amateurs teach amateurs to be amateurs", we looked for the best coaches, mentors, consultants, and advisors. We were blessed when, perhaps the ideal key people to help tackle the problem appeared (see inside)

We empower the human spirit, especially for the incarcerated who are motivated to cultivate a life of meaning and purpose in order to obtaining a career that is stable, meaningful and with a livable wage.

The ability to memorize what we read is essential; the ability to recite what we've memorized distinguishes us from our peers.This book provides the poems and speeches of traditional American culture, the materials we should know in order help us along our path to create a life of meaning and purpose.

This is a neuroscience-oriented brainsmart program designed to help struggling, yet motivated, adults (especially those in prison) learn the tools and techniques for success (i.e. the skills needed to obtain stable and meaningful employment).Students learn the fundamentals of how the brain works in order to answer two questions: 1) Who am I? and, 2) Why do I behave as I do? --The goal is to ""dial-in"" who one needs to be in the moment. This program has been taught in Nevada State prisons and to Nevada inmates since 2013.
