With God We Prosper, Without Him We Fail is the result of a 10-year study of American spirituality that asks, "Does an abundance of or a lack of religion in a culture have an effect on how successful the culture's economy is?" This book is by no means religious, although it does use religion, along with every day current events, to build on its arguments.

I think society has watered down what a real man is, and because women have rightfully been obtaining more success, some tend to look down on men who are not as successful. There are also some men who feel less adequate in dealing with women that have a higher stature than they do. Nonetheless, it is my attempt in this book to not only educate women on what a real man is, but to also educate men on what a real man is, because in my opinion, many of them have lost their way.

Over the past four years, President Barack Obama has systematically undermined every pillar of America’s strength and vitality from the economy to health care to immigration to energy policy to personal liberty. With a bloated federal bureaucracy, staggering national debt, crippling unemployment, a crushing burden of regulation and red tape for private business and entrepreneurs, zealous pursuit of far-left pet projects, and attacks on every Constitutional freedom imaginable, Obama has brought America to the brink of disaster. Will we be able to avoid going over the edge? Well-known author and academic researcher John Lott sounds the alarm as he convincingly documents the challenges we face and builds an overwhelming case for fundamental change not the kind Obama promised, but the kind we need to save America from permanent damage. At the Brink is a powerful and alarming look at the challenges we face, and the monumental problems the next president is about to inherit.

In a world that prioritizes constant connection and social engagement, solitude is often misunderstood and feared. Many equate being alone with loneliness, a state of emotional deprivation. This fear of being alone arises from the belief that solitude will lead to emptiness or sadness. However, this view misrepresents the true nature of solitude. Solitude is not the absence of others but a conscious choice to spend time with oneself. It is a space for introspection, personal growth, and reconnection with our inner selves.
