On My Honor


Book Description

Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low and Lou Henry Hoover, first president of Girl Scouts, are two of seven paper dolls featured in this, the first of a three-part paper doll history of Girl Scout uniforms.Melissa, who joins Low's first troop in Savannah, and her younger cousin Erin tell the story of the early years of scouting, 1912–28, through their diary entries. They write of troop activities as well as the growing Girl Scout movement nationwide, and they give us a glimpse into the everyday life of young girls during that time period.Twelve uniforms and a variety of other historic fashions are detailed in full color. Each uniform is complete with accessories, pins, awards, and badges. This is the first paper doll book to show the uniforms in full color, making it an important addition to the printed history of the Girl Scouts.November 1918It's just the best news imaginable—the Armistice has been signed and the war is officially over at last! Miss Daisy is so proud of all the work her Girl Scouts have done across the nation to help the war effort. As soon as the War Service Award was introduced in our Girl Scout Magazine, The Rally, last March, many, many girls began working to earn the points necessary to receive the award. The girls in our patrol have knitted items to give to the Red Cross (we were amazed when we realized just how much time and effort is required to knit up two pounds of wool, but as we imagined our own brothers sitting in France with cold, wet feet, our needles began flying faster and faster), and several managed to preserve the required 50 containers of jelly or jam this past summer. Georgia peaches make THE BEST!

Was Jesus a Socialist?


Book Description

Economist and historian Lawrence W. Reed has been hearing people say “Jesus was a socialist” for fifty years. And it has always bothered him. Now he is doing something about it. Reed demolishes the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Jesus called on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? Or centrally plan the economy? Or even impose a welfare state? Hardly. Point by point, Reed answers the claims of socialists and progressives who try to enlist Jesus in their causes. As he reveals, nothing in the New Testament supports their contentions. Was Jesus a Socialist? could not be more timely. Socialism has made a shocking comeback in America. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. And as socialism has come back into vogue, more and more of its advocates have tried to convince us that Jesus was a socialist. This rhetoric has had an impact. According to a 2016 poll by the Barna Group, Americans think socialism aligns better with Jesus’s teachings than capitalism does. When respondents were asked which of that year’s presidential candidates aligned closest to Jesus’s teachings, a self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” came out on top. Sure enough, the same candidate earned more primary votes from under-thirty voters than did the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees combined. And in a 2019 survey, more than seventy percent of millennials said they were likely to vote for a socialist. Was Jesus a Socialist? expands on the immensely popular video of the same name that Reed recorded for Prager University in July 2019. That video has attracted more than four million views online. Ultimately, Reed shows the foolishness of trying to enlist Jesus in any political cause today. He writes: “While I don’t believe it is valid to claim that Jesus was a socialist, I also don’t think it is valid to argue that he was a capitalist. Neither was he a Republican or a Democrat. These are modern-day terms, and to apply any of them to Jesus is to limit him to but a fraction of who he was and what he taught.”
