Trust in the Lord
with all your heart,
and lean not on
your own
understanding.  In
ALL your ways,
acknowledge HIM,
and HE will make
your paths straight.

Government/Economics                                                        Stephanie Praytor

Economics: Fall semester course. Emphasis on free enterprise capitalism in a
free market economy sets this book apart from the competition. The Biblical
views of work, wealth, and stewardship will be discussed corporately, helping
the students to understand the proper economic roles of individual producers
and consumers, as well as, that of the government from a conservative,
Christian perspective. The stark contrast between the market economy--the
cornerstone of prosperity in the United States--and the command economy--the
hallmark of fiscal failure in Communist countries--is graphically presented in
illustration of the economic principles that govern all societies. Essential
concepts such as competition in the marketplace and private ownership of
capital are discussed from a conservative perspective.

Government: Spring semester course. A conservative, Christian perspective
makes this government course unique. Students need the firm foundation this
text provides to become informed, responsible citizens and voters in today's
world. American Government opens with a inspiring look at the blessings we
enjoy and the symbols we hold dear as American citizens. At the core of the
course, students will explore a fascinating study of the Constitution, the
government it established, and the rights and privileges it guarantees the
American people. After studying the Constitution and the national government,
students will learn about federalism and government at the state and local
levels. Through projects and reports, students will have opportunity to
demonstrate what they have learned and to get involved in their uniquely
American political system.
