This book is an unapologetic defense of the Christ's place in understanding history. The author gives a clear defense of the faith against the materialist hogwash that masquerades as intelligence in todays Matrix of education. This book is a requirement for anyone interested in an introduction to how history is manipulated, especially homeschoolers, both young and adults. It has been a long time since an author has offered and anectdote to the problem that we are not equiping our Christian kids for their careers in our educational systems.

“Freedom is slavery.” If the government can define and control freedom then freedom becomes a deranged delusion and nothing more. “Ignorance is strength.” If we are never made aware of the fact that the most evil criminals in history control all life through the printing of the worthless pieces of paper money that we are made to toil for, we will never be able to identify our real enemies so that we might break our chains. This fact is certainly their strength. “War is peace.” All wars are charades designed for nothing more than obscene profits and human control, even the “War for American Independence.” If we never know this we will continue to sacrifice our progeny to the idols of “patriotism” and “freedom” and leave our true enemies in perfect peace and prosperity.

We have been taught that history shows the long track of human progress. We were told that this progress has led us to a greater experience of the blessings of freedom and equality. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the name of “freedom” and “equality’ we have been recruited to build the system for our own enslavement. The highest ideals of our innate human natures have been turned into the operant conditioners by which we have been transformed into willing servants of evil forces. If we grow suspicious of the “all is well” sirens of our popular media sources and speak out, we will be psychologically remolded and put back in our place among the ranks of the institutionalized, compliant herd.

What do we teach you in the public schools? Maybe we should ask, what does the public school system make us into? The founders of this nation would have never tolerated a public school system. They left no provision for such a monstrosity in the Constitution. Our once highly successful education system, the envy of the world, began under the supervisory control of the community and the church. Our present public school system, the laughing stock of the world, was modeled by our “leaders” on the totalitarian education model perfected in the Soviet Union. We were told that this was done in order to help us win the “Cold War.” Is it any surprise that we lost (and by the way, they never told us).

There are many things that we are told about history that are obviously nonsense. Of course we are told to think critically, but if we dare to do so we are crucified. This book is for those remaining skeptics among us, those refreshing individuals who are dissatisfied with the homogenized drivel we are force-fed daily. The meditations found in this book are born of that spirit and offered in candid appreciation of the people still capable of independent thought.

I wanted to like this book, I really did.

My apologies to the author; I hope you have a thick skin.

I really enjoyed the first 1/2 of the book. Up until the author gets to the modern era (the Great Depression), I hard learned a decent amount of unconventional knowledge about the past. Particularly about the Greco-Roman period and the American Revolutionary War.

But at around page 167 (the last of my notes), after he finishes talking about the American Civil War, the pattern stopped. by Page 212, talking about Nazi Germany, I had been clawing my way through it, a little each day. By page 233 and starting to talk about Zionism and how Jews are bad, yadda yada, I was just ripping my eyes out.

I am a prolific reader. I have completely read eight books so far this year: 630,000 words (2,300 pages) in just 45 days. I read over 60 full books in 2012 (over 5 million words), and I can say, this is the first book that I've ever had to stop reading due to how uncomfortable parsing it was.

Reasons I didn't like it:
1. The author is a way hyper-religious, christian fundie who seems to support Mormon doctrine. He goes on and on about how the Catholic church and all Protestant churches are abominations, in exactly the same ways that Mormon missionaries taught me. And hell, I agree with it, but I wish he would come out and admit his Mormonism and reduce his overt talk about religion.
2. His "history" is very populated with his own, non-standard religious viewpoints. Just look at these word counts:
* Jesus: 116; Christ: 126; God: 393; sin: 47; satan/devil: 36

Do these terms belong **anywhere** in any serious history book?

3. Maybe I'm very well informed, but I learned *very* little from the moment he started talking about the Civil War. Very little. Plus, he would repeat the same observations two, sometimes up to four times, repeatedly in his text, as if he had forgotten he mentioned it just a few pages earlier.
4. His style is very boring, dry, and full of huge paragraphs, systemically poor punctuation, and I noticed in excess of 50 run-on sentences.

So not only was the work preachy and hyper-religious, it was also poorly edited, repetitive, and left me with a desire to delete it from my Kindle library forever.

Something I very well may do. ;-/

Response to Ted R S

I am so glad you liked the first part of it. I must apologize because the version you read needed a proofread and a rewrite in certain places. I republished through which is the service to use if you want to self-publish or even produce a CD. I cringed at some of the stuff I came across reading it from Xlibris. I am sorry about the copy you read. My wife is one of the most sought-after legal stenographic proofreaders in the country. I rushed the publishing. We proofread and I rewrote sections of this book.

You wanted to rip out your eyes because I mentioned Zionism? There are few forces as influential on the world stage in the last two centuries. Some of the most outspoken and articulate critics of Zionism are Jewish. I put some of their own websites in the text for people to check for themselves. The fact is I have close relations with people who were in high command positions on both sides of the conflict in WWII. Much of what we "know" about WWII is simply a distraction. So go ahead rip out your eyes if you don't like what you see, but first do a little research. So put the anti-Semite brush away. It is no secret that the Talmud treats Christ and his followers as the most dangerous enemy of its faith. The notion of a "Judeo-Christian" culture is a fiction useful only to those who wish to destroy our individual liberty. And I love the "yada, yada," made famous by a comedy about a Jewish comedian who is the loci of lucidity in a group of equivocating, relativistic, ignorant and psychologically damaged gentiles. What conclusion should we draw?

Hyper-religious? I make no bones about being a disciple of Christ, but religious I am not. I made the distinction between religion and faith perfectly clear in the very last chapter of the book, which you did not read. I make no apologies for faith in Christ or its central position in the march of history. This was made perfectly clear in the introduction to the book which was made available to potential readers beforehand so they could decide whether they would be interested in reading it. Your criticism on this is rather like the fisherman who decries the presence of trout, bass and perch after he decides to go fishing. You seemed to like the first part which clearly explained the dividing line between fallen man trapped in the cage under the mind-screw of the knowledge of good and evil and the opposite of this, being alive in Christ Jesus.

Now about Mormonism I am at a loss to understand how you can believe that I am a Mormon. I understand Smith's contention that all Christianity had lost its way and that he had "received" the pure faith on the tablets from Moroni. At the end of my journey out of "Christianity" I find Christ Jesus alone; not Joseph Smith, a pastor, a shaman, a priest, or any middle man between me and Him. I drilled oil wells in Utah and Wyoming for a few years and know what Mormon culture is like. I also specialized in religious and intellectual development in America as an undergrad in history. In addition, I did my own studies on the Mormon faith independently, and coincidentally, Joseph Smith was tarred and feathered and run out of my wife's home town on a rail. It seems he was walking on the water to impress the townspeople with his piety; they were rather miffed when they discovered he had fixed boards just below the surface of the pond to create the apparent miracle. I know more about the origin of this cult, its historic leaders, and its doctrines than most Mormons do, but I am definitely not a Mormon.

Ted asks if any serious history book uses words like Jesus, God, et cetera? Throw out the Bible as a history book along with the writings of Flavius Josephus, Edward Gibbon and countless other historians. One might wonder how we could take historical writings seriously that do NOT mention these things. The ones that do not are definitely based upon some kind of preconceived worldview based on one belief system or another. Of course that belief system is only a personal preference in a relativistic world. It all boils down to whose opinion you have adopted. If you adopt Dawkins' or Sagan's worldview, then you are correct, Jesus, God, etc. do not belong in a history book. But if you adopt, for example, C.S. Lewis' or Blackstone's worldview, then they most certainly do. "Those who do not think for themselves do not think at all."

I am still waiting for someone to challenge what I have said in this book with facts, logic and specificity. I hear what you feel, but I don't know what you think. The argument should not be Cast aspersions and something will stick.

What I had hoped for was a comparison of lies taught about history in the public schools,compared to the actual findings through the research of the author.What I found after having purchased and attempting to read the book,was a series of mindless,abstract rantings,with the same main themes of these rantings,repeated over and over again throughout the book.Boring,redundant,poorly written,did I say poorly written?Poorly written!The bibliography looks as though the author just pulled titles out of a Google search.This author gives Christians and homeschoolers a bad name.It also gives public school teachers a bad name.If I were a public school employee,I would be demanding this guy,or possibly girl?,to cough up some proof of their credentials.It is clear to me that the two identical 5 star ratings,written in the authors style,were written by the author?Obviously an attempt at a sideline buisness.Try selling candy bars.Now that I think of it,the authors name should have given me a heads up!My bad.
