Book excerpt: "Paul Harvey would be proud of Levi Lyle. He truly embodies what it means to be a steward of the land. He has shown that working with nature can not only improve the environment, but can be financially profitable as well." Dale Hilgenkamp, President, American Aronia Berry Association "With farmers facing climate challenges now more than ever - we need bold leaders and innovative strategies to reshape U.S. food and farm policy. Levi calls us to action to revitalize the American farm and revolutionize the future of farming in the U.S." Rosalyn Lehman, Executive Director, Iowa Organic Association "Levi exposes the fundamental flaws in our system of modern, industrialized agriculture and lays out a regenerative vision for the future of agriculture." Tom Wahl, Red Fern Farm "Levi lights a hopeful path forward..." Christophe Jospe, President, Carbon A List 'This book shows a deep understanding of the land and a well-honed perspective of the many intricacies of life as a farmer." Patrick O'Malley, Ph.D., Native Fruit Association "Levi is not just a philosopher of the history and culture of agriculture; he is an innovative farmer who marries technology with ecology." Francis Thicke, Soil scientist and organic farmer In a state dominated by mono-cropped GMO corn and soybeans and hog factory farms, sixth-generation farmer Levi Lyle offers a new, comprehensive, and holistic, yet practical vision to regenerate rural Iowa-and America-that he thoughtfully and eloquently presents in "So God Made a Farmer: "A Retrospective on The Living Words of Paul Harvey by an Organic Farmer." Levi sees the problems with the current corporate-dominated industrial agriculture methods that are eroding Iowa's rich soils, polluting its waterways, and hollowing out its once vibrant small towns. But Levi's thoughtful message is not one of division but one of hope, aiming to bring people together to revive rural communities. Levi's perspective is solidly grounded on his family farm with its diversified production based on organic and regenerative agriculture practices. Levi Lyle is not only a farmer, but in his prolific writings, such as So God Made a Farmer, he is also an eloquent spokesperson for a new vision of agriculture that is quickly gaining ground in America and around the world. In this way, Levi Lyle may become the Wendell Berry of his generation. Ken Roseboro, editor, The Organic & Non-GMO Report

Book excerpt: Strategic nonviolent action has reasserted itself as a potent force in shaping public debate and forcing political change. Whether it is an explosive surge of protest calling for racial justice in the United States, a demand for democratic reform in Hong Kong or Mexico, a wave of uprisings against dictatorship in the Middle East, or a tent city on Wall Street that spreads throughout the country, when mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media portrays them as being as spontaneous and unpredictable. In This is an Uprising, political analysts Mark and Paul Engler uncover the organization and well-planned strategies behind such outbursts of protest, examining core principles that have been used to spark and guide moments of transformative unrest. This is an Uprising traces the evolution of civil resistance, providing new insights into the contributions of early experimenters such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., groundbreaking theorists such as Gene Sharp and Frances Fox Piven, and contemporary practitioners who have toppled repressive regimes in countries such as South Africa, Serbia, and Egypt. Drawing from discussions with activists now working to defend human rights, challenge corporate corruption, and combat climate change, the Englers show how people with few resources and little influence in conventional politics can nevertheless engineer momentous upheavals. Although it continues to prove its importance in political life, the strategic use of nonviolent action is poorly understood. Nonviolence is usually studied as a philosophy or moral code, rather than as a method of political conflict, disruption, and escalation. This is an Uprising corrects this oversight. It argues that if we are always taken by surprise by dramatic outbreaks of revolt, and if we decline to incorporate them into our view of how societies progress, then we pass up the chance to fully grasp a critical phenomenon—and to harness its power to create lasting change.

Book excerpt: Journey with a family through six months in “the valley of the shadow of death” as an aggressive lung cancer takes a beloved, firstborn son through the worst battle of his life. A Purple Heart recipient from the Afghan war, Scott’s war with cancer will highlight and underline the survival on a distant battlefield only to die on a familiar home front. Share the thoughts and memories of a dad reflecting on the irony of the number forty, and read of his memories of his past that helped him endure one of the greatest tragedies of his life, the death of his son in his fortieth year. Witness the miracles in the midst of the misery as family and friends rally to help this family cope with an incurable disease. Note the sadness that comes when this father’s father passes away at the height of his grandson’s struggle for survival. Hear the glimmer of hope that comes from looking “beyond” to happier and fairer days coming in the blessed place called heaven. See the faith that sustains through insomnia and illness, heartache and heartbreak. Learn the precepts from the Bible that that will not only help one understand the process but understand the purpose of why someone so young passes away. This book is more about departing than dying; more about heaven than earth; and more about acceptance than bitterness.

Book excerpt: This book briefly traces how the living systems emerged on the earth, created the biosphere and a cyclic energy regime of nature's economy over the geological time scale. Whereas in a short span of a few centuries, the productive industrial agricultural apparatus has depleted and exhausted the natural resources, compromised the quality of human food and marginalized the dominant human community, the small and marginal farmers. In the concluding chapters ways and means to reconceptualize agriculture to sort out its relationship with nature are highlighted.

What can we do as adults to foster a positive future for our kids? Most parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministers I talk to want to equip the next generation with the necessary tools to be difference makers in their world, but they don't know how to. It feels as if we are fighting against a cultural wave that is making it harder and harder to lead our kids to love God and make a difference. So what do we do? This book takes a deep look into the culture of Generation Z and Generation Alpha. The intent is to create an understanding of how to raise a generation of contributors to the kingdom and how to remove the barriers that stand in our way. We all know that these emerging generations are welcoming us into a new digital frontier full of consumption, technology, and entertainment that is more focused on happiness than contribution. Our kids are also living in a world of skepticism about truth and faith. We will unpack these faith questions and explore the tensions that exist between older and younger generations. Our kids are the future of our churches, cities, states, and country. It is critical that we begin to acknowledge that as adults, we must be intentional in understanding the culture our kids live in and be humble in our approaches to developing them as faithful servants and successful adults. So how do we raise contributors? Let's begin to discuss practical ways to raise kids who are image bearers and difference makers. I call these kids contributors.
