How Can We Fix American Culture and Politics Gone Wildly off Track? Saving America's Grace presents a progressive moral values framework that challenges typically held assumptions about family values; "culture wars;" and morality in politics today. You will discover: - What it takes to create happy homes; healthy souls and well-adjusted children - Why a new moral focus for American politics is crucial - How to rectify a culture gone terribly awry Author Michelle Deen tackles taboo topics--family; religion; morality and politics--with intelligence; aplomb; and a powerful sense of purpose. Her manifesto for a better America calls for humanistic values and integrity of character; not the authoritarian values embraced by today's Republican Party or the fundamentalist sexual mores culture warriors obsess over. Saving America's Grace redefines what it means to be a moral society by articulating the progressive values that are the heartbeat of America. It's a clarion call for the Left to rally together around shared moral principles and boldly move forward with clear moral conviction for a better America.

A Face to My Name; Great Resource!By Tina SansoneA Face to My Name Vol I ReviewBy Tina SansoneMany of us would love to start our research by locating a book talking about our family and giving us great clues; such as DNA; as to our heritage. Well; if you belong to the Gist; Guest; Guess and McNeil families; you are in luck. After many years of research; Sheri McNeil Savory has released three volumes about these family lines! I recently had a chance to read her first release; "Volume I - A Face to My Name: DNA; Gist; Guest; Guess; McNeil Families and Ties to Royalty".In her preface she write; â€Come along with me as I share the details of my life as a genealogist on this fascinating journey; and explore with me throughout this work. It will be a wild ride for everyone who reads this book. I have dedicated my entire life to the study of Y-DNA with an emphasis on the bloodline and history of the Gist and McNeil families; and I totally support my findings with Y-DNA evidence. What is this DNA technology that I am referring to here? Let me explain it through my work."What got me personally interested in Sheri’s book was the name of Christopher Gist. I knew it sounded familiar; so I went to review my own family history. My grandmother’s youngest brother married a Gann; and her 2nd great grandfather was Christopher Gist born around the 1800’s. I became interested in extending her lines and these books will be the key in helping me break through this brick wall.The table of contents reads as follows:DedicatedTable of ContentsTable of FiguresPrefaceAcknowledgementsIntroductionChapter One: Family ConnectionsChapter Two: Gist Y-DNA Study Group 1Chapter Three: Gist Y-DNA Study Group 2Chapter Four: McNeil and Gist FTDNA CommunicationChapter Five: Royal LinesChapter Six: Clan McNeil; Campbell and DNAChapter Seven: Y-DNA and Research WorksheetsAbout the AuthorBibliographyEngland and Spanish Personal WorksheetsIndexAs I read through the book; I found the family lineages to be very helpful.
