True manhood, polished by the hand of God, is nothing short of an awe-inspiring gift to womanhood. Contrary to the vibe that a title like God’s Gift to Women gives off, this book is not merely about how men can more effectively relate to women. Men can never hope to become a gift to women until they gain a complete vision of Christ-built manhood. We live in a generation of “burpin’ and scratchin’” male mediocrity. Most of our modern-day examples of manhood are self-serving, perverted, and ...

In the year 871, the evil Vikings appeared to be the unstoppable new rulers of the Isle of Britain, but, against all odds, King Alfred of Wessex stood up and faced this encroaching evil head-on. In history, Alfred is considered “great” not because he was a powerful man, nor because he was a rich man, but because he was a man that stared at dramatic impossibilities and believed that God was able to overcome.As the powers of darkness sweep across our beloved nation with malevolent in...

World War II was an epic tale. And I am like a moth to the flame of any and all things epic. I have always been fascinated by history, the events, the people, and the human challenge. But, war history, for some reason, stands out to me and deeply attracts my soul — bidding me to study it and to somehow try and comprehend it.In the early 90’s I used to teach classes on the Civil War — and loved it. In 2018, my intrigue for war was renewed and it led to an in-depth study of WWI and W...

The times of Roman Emperor Nero mark in the annals of history a season of unprecedented difficulty and trial for the Christian faith. But, this time was no less challenging for the Jewish people that had chosen to refuse, rather than accept, their long-awaited Messiah.This study focuses on a period of time between two massive events in first century world history between AD 64 (The Burning of Rome) and AD 70 (The Fall of Jerusalem). To understand what happened in this stretch of ti...

This series discusses the profound notion of “legendary living” by using Eric’s father as a muse. He was not an extraordinary man in any earthly sense of the word, but his impact upon Eric’s life was extraordinary. His everyday actions of love, care, patience, and self-sacrifice have been immortalized. Why? Partly because of how he chose to live his life, which was marked by exceptional decisions amidst a self-fogged generation. And partly because, as a son, Eric has chosen to remember it,...

William Wilberforce did something in his day which was deemed impossible — and still, over two hundred years later, anyone who studies his life’s work is startled and amazed and can’t help but mutter to themselves while reading of his accomplishments, “but . . . but, that can’t be done!”Wilberforce seemingly single-handedly turned an entire governmental system away from selfishness, decadence, and brutality toward honor, respect, and human kindness. He seems to have single-handedly...

While the character of the American nation is currently being tested and the direction of our great land is being freshly defined, it seems a good time to examine the life and leadership of the man that most Americans believe embodies the grit, growl, and gusto that made our nation great in the first place.Teddy Roosevelt is considered by many to be the consummate American—manly, fearless, chock full of courage, ready to shout louder than everyone else at the enemy, and ready to la...

The Church today is in desperate need of an infusion of strength, courage, boldness, daring, and unction. The Bible calls it grace. And we need it. The Church is weak, back on its haunches, mealy-mouthed, and vulnerable to caving into social correctness. This series is a vision statement for what the Church ought to be, should be, could be, and will be when Jesus regains His rightful position in our midst. Long and short, it’s a very impressive rendition of Christianity that is certain to ...

Could there possibly be anything redeeming in studying World War I? After all, this cataclysmic event boasts a terrifying storyline that toppled empires, maimed millions, wiped out an entire generation of young men, and was the sponsor of some of the greatest evils this world has ever known. Along with the death camps of WWII, the trenches on the front lines of WWI were probably one of the most terrible places in all history for a human to be. The world we live in today still bears the mar...

Abraham Lincoln lived during what was likely the darkest hour in America’s history. Though that may seem hard to believe for those of us that are alive today and witnessing the wasting away of the America we love, Antebellum America (as it has been referred to since the Civil War) was an age of great darkness, division, and violence.There are a thousand lessons that emerge out of this challenging time in our great history. But, it’s the spiritual lessons that Eric draws upon for th...

Oftentimes the greatest movements of grace follow close on the heels of the greatest movements of evil. Such is the case of 1939 Great Britain—decadent, self-absorbed and wholly unprepared to stand up against the growing threat of Adolf Hitler on the other side of the Channel. A great evil had cast its shadow upon the sleepy British Isles, and now it appeared that the countdown toward their final days had officially begun. 1939 Great Britain is a stunning reminder to all of us, that no mat...
