Contrast Brings Clarity:

The Unexpected Path that Led Me to Homeschooling

Does one size really fit all? As lovely as that might sound, people come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. It is therefore virtually impossible to design a clothing item that can truly fit all people. In reality, the ‘one size fits all’ ideal is actually designed to fit sizes within a specific range.

Much like clothing items, traditional education centers around a ‘one size fits all’ methodology. As a result, a single-core teaching model is used for all students, regardless of their individual learning style. And this applies to teaching styles as well as to student evaluations. So, as a parent, what do you do when your child does not fit into that one core teaching model?

In Contrast Brings Clarity, Teressa answers that very question. Her courageous response completely changed the course of her life — and that of her son. While she struggled to build a suitable educational experience for him, Teressa overcame countless obstacles and, in due course, answered the homeschooling call. Eventually, side by side, mother and son embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

Along her incredible journey, Teressa learned numerous strategies that helped her son succeed academically — and she would like to share those strategies with you.

The Blue View:

The Uncut Journal of an Ohio Police Chief

“The hardest thing about being a police officer is you have to solve everyone else’s problems when you can’t even solve your own.”

This book is an unedited and raw journal written by a police officer over a thirty-year period. From his first day in the police academy to his last day as the Chief of Police in Middletown, Ohio, home of Hillbilly Elegy, you will feel as though you are right there with the author through the entire book, in a uniform, in a cruiser, and in his personal life. 

Never written to be released to the public, this easy to read format portrays the actual unfiltered personal journals of Chief Rodney Muterspaw, an award-winning Ohio Police Chief and Congressional guest at the Presidential State of the Union. You will feel the gamut of emotions as you follow him as a rookie, a patrol officer, investigator, narcotics officer, internal affairs supervisor, a Chief of Police, and a parent in one of the most well-known smaller cities in the Midwest. 

The Blue View will draw you in emotionally, as you will finally have access to the behind-the-scenes thoughts and experiences that most police officers will not talk about. It doesn’t matter what side you are on, it is a must read. It will change the way you think about law enforcement.

MORE ABOUT THE BLUE VIEW

Rodney Muterspaw was, for decades, a pillar of the community in Middletown—rising from junior officer on the Middletown Police force to chief during the height of the opioid epidemic. And for that entire time, he kept this incredible diary, chronicling the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of community policing. In these pages, you gain an appreciation for him, the man. 

— J. D. Vance, Author of the New York Times Best Seller and Netflix Blockbuster, Hillbilly Elegy.

Breathtaking! I grew up in the same streets as Muterspaw, but many years before he did. His vivid writing and perceptive storytelling help me to see its changes—its tragedies and its triumphs—through the world of its police. Part police drama, part social study, the chief offers valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t for the cops in an economically struggling rust belt town.

— Clarence Page, 1989 Pulitzer Prize-Winning syndicated columnist and senior member of the Chicago Tribune editorial board.

The Blue View presents a view of policing that is unlike anything I have ever read before. Beyond the good, the bad, and the ugly, Muterspaw has tracked his career in a raw and unvarnished way that will make you laugh and cry. While his self-deprecating sense of humor is the driving force of the book, he uses it to highlight real problems and real solutions within the increasingly complex world of policing.

— Stephen Robert Morse, Emmy Nominated Producer of Netflix’s Amanda Knox.

Jaw dropping! A truly honest look into a police officer’s personal world. Rewarding, heartbreaking, comical and inspiring! I laughed, I cried, and I loved it! A must read!

— Karin Johnson, WLWT Cincinnati News.

Incredibly raw, and shockingly real! Muterspaw explores the trials and tribulations of being a cop in the heartland. With an open and honest viewpoint, he holds nothing back. From his unique perspective he highlights the good, the bad, and the ugly of policing, while sprinkling in enough humor to keep the mood light.

— J. W. Cox, Award-winning writer/director, Average Joe Films.

This book portrays the reality of a rust-belt American as seen by a steel town police chief who for decades suited up to face the strengths and weaknesses of the city known as home to Hillbilly Elegy. He is a discerning, compassionate man, a good writer, and portrays life witnessed through the eyes of the Blue.

— Van Gordon Sauter, Former President, CBS News.

PERFECT PENNY:

In Case I Forget to Tell You

Our children have seen our best and have experienced some of our worse emotions.

We tried to hold it together, but sometime life is too much for us.

Out of habit we pour from an empty cup but here recently, our cup has been too dry to create a single drip of anything.

“Oh my, did I remember to compliment my child today?”

“Did I remember to smile and tell my kiddo how amazing they are before I hurried them off to school?”

In Case I Forget to Tell You is the love letter your child can read daily to affirm their strength, value, and worth. 

Nothing replaces our love, words of affirmation, and voice of confidence,

But in case you’ve lost your footing in affirming the young people in our lives, In Case I Forget to Tell You is a gift reminding your children just how special they are to you.

In Case I Forget to Tell You can be found on Amazon and Kindle stores.

LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE:

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF FREEDOM

17 selected chapters are available at https://www.libfame.com/

Hear the author discussing his book at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OnVlOEF3A

This is a large book. The PDF is 564 pages, not counting the Table Of Contents. There is a lot to know. There are 177 chapters. Any one of them could be expanded into a book.

In 1848, Karl Marx published his “Communist Manifesto” – the most influential political propaganda ever written. In it he preached his gospel of peace through war, prosperity through stealing, and love through murder. Now Marx is regarded by most of the world as a savior, and Jesus Christ is regarded as a superstitious peasant, if he existed at all. Marx’s doctrines are known under many names – Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Marxian, Leftist, and Liberal. The common denominator is that owning property is a sin, and that the government should bring righteousness to the world by taking property away from those who have it.

The joke is that Communism was started by, and has always been supported by, the Great Conspiracy of the Super Rich, in order to enslave those whom Communism claims to liberate.

Christianity is the great opposition to both Communism and the Conspiracy, and so they struggle constantly to stamp out Christianity. And the joke about that is that Christianity teaches materialism, by teaching that “God formed man of the dust of the ground” – which is definitely not true.

Thus the world is immersed in a flood of lies and deception. It has seven billion people. Very few of them have even the slightest idea what’s going on. It’s a zoo! The inmates are running the asylum!

You need to think “outside the box”. This book can be your guide for getting “outside the box”.

Buy it. Read it. Study it. Think about it. Apply it. Tell other people about it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dale Samson has always been very interested in both politics and religion. He has studied in depth Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, science, and many Western philosophers. He is a great admirer of the Founding Fathers of America and of the liberty to which they dedicated their lives. He has carefully studied Karl Marx and the opposition to liberty. His book – LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE – The Theory And Practice Of Freedom – contains a detailed commentary on the Communist Manifesto, a fresh new statement of the philosophy and rationale of liberty, and commentary on these various religions and philosophies. It presents a comprehensive political philosophy, together with down-to-earth specific proposals.

He was born the son of a physicist and grew up immersed in math and physics. His childhood heroes were Newton and Einstein. Thus he is familiar with science, with Einstein’s theory of relativity, with quantum mechanics, and with the philosophy of materialism.

At an early age, he became intensely interested in oriental philosophy and religion. He graduated from Harvard College, majoring in philosophy. He studied existentialism, Immanuel Kant, logical positivism, linguistic philosophy, and many other schools of thought.

He joined the Army and spent a year doing military service in Vietnam.

He graduated from Harvard Business School, where he started to learn about business, economics, and finance.

Later he made a deep study of Christianity, and discovered a basic error in his thinking. He had been taught that all religions are basically the same. But he discovered that there are two types of religion. This fact is enormously important, but almost nobody knows about it.

He hopes that his book will inspire you with enthusiasm for liberty as envisioned by the American Founding Fathers. He hopes to persuade you that you personally can exercise your free will and do something that actually does make a difference to the future. There is hope. The place to start is to get the book, and then to learn the data.

No Word Of a Lie:

A completely accurate account of the last 185 years, told through the eyes of the worlds oldest Galapagos tortoise

'No Word Of a Lie' is a comic novel recounting the last one hundred and eighty-five years of history told through the eyes of Jonathan, the world’s oldest Galapagos tortoise. Based on historical fact, his life has been a cavalcade of incident but perhaps due to his advancing years he is a reptile with a tendency to confuse the truth at times, though his heart is always in the right place.In this collection of memoirs he recounts the stand out incidents that have shaped his long life on earth. From his encounters with Hitler in an Austrian zoo, to meeting Charles Dickens in a boozy dockside tavern. Inventing the sick bag whilst taking part in the maiden flight of the Wright Flyer, to being arrested for sitting on an Alabama bus with Rosa Parks. And of course there is his ill-fated appearance on Blue Peter in the 1970s, when he soiled the studio floor.But as well as being a history of the past 185 years told by someone who’s lived it 'No Word of a Lie' is also a meditation on the ageing process. A frank and honest account of the lessons one learns, the clothes from the eighties one must avoid wearing again, and the importance of true love and real friends. A story that is shared before the restaurant bill finally arrives and Death presents him with the true cost of living, a price that means he can at last hibernate in peace for an eternity...hopefully.
