We wrote this book as a companion to our book on parenting to encourage parents and potential parents to daily use the Bible as a manual for the guidance and wisdom required in raising a child into a follower of Christ Jesus and a productive successful adult, as well as our manual for living a full, joyful and productive life while here on this earth in preparation for an eternal life with Him after his return.A friend of mine told me that in his opinion the Bible is; Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, that has stuck in my mind, and I like that prospective even more as I unpack all of the information the scriptures reveal to me.Unlike most manuals this one tells us how it all started, what the intent was, what happened to change things from the initial intent, our history of rebellion, and what will have to be done to restore both us and this earth to its intended state and purpose.

Replication and Open Communication As Methods of Finding the Truth combines academic research with significant real world experiences that will surprise and amaze. In this book you will follow Dr. Tompkins' first-person narrative of moving from a failed replication of an experiment in a chemistry lab to his investigative work as he attempted to replicate the facts of Truman Capote in his "non-fiction novel" In Cold Blood. This search for replication resulted in Dr. Tompkins' article in Esquire Magazine titled In Cold Fact, which presented a detailed counter narrative of many of the facts in Capote's book. Replication and Open Communication as Methods of Finding The Truth continues with Dr. Tompkins work investigating and reporting on the causes of the Kent State Massacre. Hint: the lack of open communication played a major role. Dr. Tompkins describes his work as a consultant to Werhner Von Braun during the R& D phase of NASA's Moon Rocket Project where the principles of open communication and replication were significant to its success; and their lack in later space flights where Von Braun was not involved led to the tragedies of the Challenger and Columbia disasters. Dr. Tompkins' research and real world experiences described throughout this book found that replication and open communication, when combined, produced desired outcomes, including the truth. And the lack of them could produce disaster. All of this leads to Dr. Tompkins applying the methods of replication and open communication to other topics, such as second opinions in medicine, before reporting a stunning climactic discovery, the independent confirmation of findings dating to the 17th century when chemistry, i.e. science, was able to emerge out of the dark chaos of alchemy.

In the not-so-distant future, life as we know it will disappear. In a few decades humans will be responsible for the decimation of most of the Earth's natural resources. Greed and entitlement plague humanity and devastate the natural evolution of the Earth. Instead of conserving the remaining resources, humans use them to make weaponry and defend the remaining scarcities. Individualism replaces community. The scarcity of resources turns one against another, friend against friend, and family against family, state by state, territory by territory, and country by country. Wars rage, loyalties fade, armies implode, and basic social structures collapse. A dramatic shift in the Earth's atmosphere creates devastating seasonal changes. Hurricanes and monsoons flood coastal cities and towns. Tornadoes rip up crops and level homes across the prairies and inlands. Earthquakes demolish entire cities. Volcanos fill the skies with toxic gases and cloud the sun. It is as if the planet is just as angry with humanity as humanity is with itself. Seasons change; spring and fall all but disappear. Winter and summer become extremely polarized, with temperatures too intense to sustain life. The climate on the surface of the planet becomes too unstable and harsh. People have no choice but to go underground.
