"Deep space holds materials left over from the formation of the solar system. Astronomers have been making exciting discoveries on the outermost fringes and the New Horizons spacecraft brings new insights into the origins of the sun and planets"--

David is not mentioned in the scripture until the last part of the last chapter of Ruth. However, there are 968 verses in the entire Bible in which David is mentioned. This compared to the 784 verses that mention Moses, the 230 verses that mention Abraham, and the 159 verses that mention the Apostle Paul, tends to give us an idea of the significance of David's life. Even Jesus' name is mentioned in fewer verses (942), although God is mentioned in 3894 verses. There are also hundreds of verses that do not mention David by name but refer to him as king. From the sheer fact that David is mentioned and referred to so many times in the scripture, we can see that such a study that we hereby embark on is certainly legitimate. David was the king that excelled beyond all others in the three Kingdom dimensions God instituted before man was ever created -- worship, word, and warfare. The Lord had even set an angelic leader over these three dimensions. Michael was over warfare; Gabriel was over word, or messages; Lucifer was over worship. David was the passionate worshipper whose zeal for worship has never been matched by mortal man. There was no greater warrior than King David. He never lost a military conflict. David delivered the Word of the Lord with accuracy and messianic insight. His messianic prophecies number more than any of the Major Prophets. So in all three Kingdom dimensions, David excelled above all others. No wonder that David will be the vice king of all the earth during the millennium. As amazing as his life was, his failures were almost unfathomable. David's failures were indeed paramount and certainly were of a great cost to him and his family. Yet no one exemplifies true repentance and Godly sorrow more than David.Again, the study of David's life is worthy of a genuine effort to look intently at every verse that mentions his name. We believe in so doing we will clearly see the entire life and legacy of this one whom God said is "a man after mine own heart" (Acts 13:22).

The Book of Balance is an interesting book from the author of Walking in the Covenant of Salt, The Glory of God's Law, and The Book of David, Ron has written The Book of Balance which examines the most controversial issues in the body of Christ. The entire examination of these major points of division centers around a method of Bible study found in Isaiah 28. In the following pages, Ron will address six major points of controversy among sincere Bible-believing Christians. While there are many other points of controversy, he will deal specifically with these: The security of the believer; The Godhead; Water baptism, mode and application; Divorce and remarriage in the church; The return of Christ - pre, mid, or post tribulation; The evidence of the believer's fullness of the Holy Spirit.In Chapter one Ron gives the reader the pattern used for coming to the conclusions concerning the controversies we address. It is strongly urged that readers refrain from turning to the chapter of the book that deals with the controversy he or she finds most interesting. Chapter one is a must to read in order to understand the study pattern that is referenced in every chapter. Brother Ron does not pretend to believe that this humble effort will right the wrong or solve a problem of such magnitude. He does not believe that he has arrived at the status of theologian or prophet. He does not believe this book will decide or establish a central and general doctrine that the whole body will accept. However, Ron does firmly believe that out of a heart of grief for the division in the body of Christ over major themes, and a zeal for believers to be one, he has been inspired to address these points of controversy. He has also committed himself to address these controversies in the simplest possible way, in the use of everyday layman's terms.

Testimonial by Governor Mike Huckabee: On November 13, 1982, Ron Miller personally leased an L-1011 from Delta Airlines and took 300 Vietnam Veterans to the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. As a result of his remarkable efforts, President Ronald Reagan asked him to form the Georgia Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program, a volunteer organization that was recognized as one of the best in the nation by President George H.W. Bush, who presented Ron and the GVVLP with his prestigious Thousand Points of Light award for their service to Veterans and their families. Hopefully this story will encourage all Americans to reach out to others with their assistance. Testimonial by Col. Leo Thorsness, USAF (Ret.), Medal of Honor (was held prisoner in Hanoi, Vietnam, for six years; author, "Surviving Hell: A POW's Journey"): Readers will come away from Ron's book inspired and knowing that one man can make a difference. Ron devoted his life to help Veterans-to help those willing to give all for our country. Read Ron's book and you will have a checklist how to make a difference in your life, your community; your country. Testimonial by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, USA (Ret.), Medal of Honor, Vietnam (author, "Dead Men Flying" about Dust-off pilots in Vietnam): America has no kings or queens, no Dukes or Duchesses, but we do have nobility. America's nobility is called Veterans-Ron Miller is part of that nobility. His remarkable story is typical of so many veterans who come from humble origins and contribute so much to the country we love-they never stop serving. Men and women like Ron are true patriots who prove their love of America by supporting and defending her, unlike the multitude of faux patriots who claim to love America but do nothing to support and defend her. And men and women like Ron give lie to the media lies of the Vietnam veteran as a homeless helpless miscreant. The Vietnam Veteran is a productive and patriotic citizen as is Ron and his book is a perfect example of one Vietnam veteran's extraordinary service to the country they love.

When it was first published in 1902, The Varieties of Religious Experience caused a revolution, a quantum leap, a paradigm shift. James opened the door to the scientific study of religious experience, probing the relationship between religion and psychology. It is obvious no one can have a religious experience without brain activity. The salient question is whether this brain activity is the mediator or creator of the experience. This classic text by William James should be required reading for anyone wanting to study religion. But years of college teaching convinced the author that this is a daunting read for most undergraduate students, and even for some older adults. Ron parsed sections of James' text and provides commentary and insight on each one throughout this must-read book, thus opening the world of James like never before.

What Are Schools For? is a powerful analysis and critique of the historical context and forces that have shaped and still continue to influence contemporary mainstream American education. Miller explores the failure of our schools to educate and offers the alternative of a holistic approach that has deep roots in educational reform movements of the past two centuries. He argues that our schools will become effective only when they refocus on meeting the needs of students rather than the needs of the economy or the broader society.

For centuries, astronomers have placed a special interest on the other planets of the solar system. But with the advent of spacecraft and the tremendous missions undertaken by the Voyager and Cassini probes, astronomers have discovered that the natural satellites of the planets-the solar system's moons-are some of the most extraordinary places imaginable. There are moons with towering geysers, erupting volcanoes, and subterranean oceans of warm, mineral-rich water. Some of the highest mountains and deepest canyons can be found on the moons. There are moons that have shattered into pieces and then reassembled. There is even a moon where it rains rocket fuel.Recently, scientists have turned to the moons for answers in their investigations of the origins of the solar system and the evolution of life on our own planet. Featuring full-color, scientifically accurate illustrations by NASA artist Ron Miller, Natural Satellites: The Book of Moons chronicles these investigations and the questions we have yet to answer in our exploration of the solar system's moons.

James has been a subject of controversy since the founding of the Church. Evidence that Jesus had siblings contradicts Church dogma on the virgin birth and James is also a symbol of Christian teachings that have been obscured. While Peter is traditionally thought of as the leader of the apostles and the rock on which Jesus built his church Jeffrey Butz shows that it was James who led the disciples after the crucifixion. It was James not Peter who guided them through the Church's first major theological crisis - Paul's interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. Using the canonical Gospels writings of the Church Fathers and apocryphal texts Butz argues that James is the most overlooked figure in the history of the Church. He shows how the core teachings of Jesus are firmly rooted in Hebraic tradition; reveals the bitter battles between James and Paul for ideological supremacy in the early Church; and explains how Paul's interpretations which became the foundation of the Church are in many ways its betrayal. Butz reveals a picture of Christianity and the true meaning of Christ's message that are sometimes at odds with established Christian doctrine and concludes that James can serve as a desperately needed missing link between Christianity Judaism and Islam to heal the wounds of centuries of enmity.
