While most Americans view Abraham Lincoln as a near god, there is a side of Mr. Lincoln and the Republican Party that has gone unspoken, until now. For example: Lincoln was the first U. S. President to have a communist in his cabinet and receive complimentary communications from Karl Marx. Even Adolf Hitler and a Communist Chinese Military spokesman have offered praise for Lincoln's effort in subjugating the South.The growth of the GOP was enhanced by many Marxists and socialists.Radical socialist and Marxists played a key role in the GOP's nomination and election of Lincoln.When Lincoln determined to invade the South, communists and radical socialists quickly joined the Union Army. Several close friends of Karl Marx became general officers in Lincoln's Army.Why did these radical socialists and Marxist feel a kinship with Abraham Lincoln, the GOP, and the desire for the destruction of an independent South?Communists finding Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party objects worthy of their zeal and efforts speaks volumes as to why post-Appomattox America has adopted most if not all the early American socialist/communist goals. The South had no such friends.

How do you use your freedom? Most of us have never been slaves. We were born into freedom and have experienced the privilege of living freely our whole lives. But are we using it well? Are we pursuing God-sized dreams, or are we tempering His Spirit by merely existing? The first volume of this Exodus study (1:1-12:32) revealed how God is the unmatched expert at setting people apart. He sets Himself apart in countless ways and then does something remarkable-He invites people into His holiness. God longed for Israel to be holy (set apart) like He is holy, and He commenced this initiative by freeing them from slavery through jaw-dropping miracles. Israel tasted freedom for the first time as a nation and had the extraordinary opportunity to thrive as God's people in their newfound freedom. Unfortunately, they did not seize the opportunity. But we can. These next passages in Exodus (12:33-18:27) are rich with priceless truths that God yearns for us to treasure in our lives. They are ready and waiting for us to seize and teach us (through Israel's failures and successes) to use the freedom we have in Christ for God's glory and our sanctification. We were not created to merely exist. God wants us to thrive in the freedom we have in Him, and He has given us many ways to do just that in these captivating chapters of Exodus.

"Kanan and Tei live in a universe with carbon walls, small enough that fully grown humans can run around it in seventeen minutes. The earth under their blue-skinned feet is made of silica, and yellow suns glow out of a flat metallic sky. Whatever lies outside their universe is, by definition, Nothing. Just over their heads, in a place that shouldn't exist, lives an alien race. These creatures also call themselves human, but they have bodies without skin and tongues that speak gibberish. Their alien world is full of things Kanan and Tei are incapable of naming without betraying their own humanity. When a twist of fate brings these two worlds crashing together, Kanan and Tei find themselves racing unwillingly towards treason: Tei with his mind, Kanan with her legs. As their language grows, so does their universe. But the more they learn about the history of the human race, the more they wonder if they've ever truly been human--or if they even want to be."--Provided by publisher.

Joanne revisits the past to answer that question and tries to discover how the Beatles influenced not only her own spiritual journey, but the spiritual journey of countless other fans.
