Social Vision

The Vision of the Anointed is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. In this book, "politically correct" theory is repeatedly confronted with facts-and sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

A shocking expos on the life and death of political peace activist Mary Pinchot Meyer, whose relationship with John F. Kennedy sheds new light on the circumstances surrounding his assassination. Who really murdered Mary Pinchot Meyer in the fall of 1964? Why was there a mad rush by CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton to immediately locate and confiscate her diary? What in that diary was so explosive and revealing?

In this devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past 30 years, Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and more. This is an empirical study in which “politically correct” theory is repeatedly confronted with facts, and the sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

The modern world is not neutral. It has a god, a creed, a priesthood, and a vision for the future. That vision has no place for the public reign of Jesus Christ. In The Christian Nationalist Vision, Andrew Torba lays out a bold, unapologetic, and deeply Christian case for rebuilding Christendom from the ruins of modern liberalism. This is not a book about nostalgia, electoral politics, or polite conservative reform. It is a call to recover an older and stronger confession: Christ is King, and His authority extends over every nation, institution, household, school, economy, ruler, and ...

In A Beautiful Vision, pastor and author Mick R. Murray invites listeners to recover a restorative, biblical vision of human sexuality, one that transcends shame, fear, and confusion. Drawing from Scripture, theology, philosophy, and personal experience, Murray shows that God’s design for our bodies, desires, and relationships is not repressive but redemptive. In a culture where sexual identity and gender expression dominate the headlines, and where the church too often responds with silence or judgment, this book offers a third way: truth with tenderness, conviction with compassion.

"The Valley of Vision" is an inspirational novel by Henry Van Dyke. From the Preface: "Why do you choose such a title as The Valley of Vision for your book," said my friend; "do you mean that one can see farther from the valley than from the mountain-top?" The mountain-top is the place of outlook over the earth and the sea. But it is in the valley of suffering, endurance, and self-sacrifice that the deepest visions of the meaning of life come to us.
