Providing an often-overlooked historical perspective, Gordon Lloyd and David Davenport show how the New Deal of the 1930s established the framework for today’s U.S. domestic policy and the ongoing debate between progressives and conservatives. They examine the pivotal issues of the dispute, laying out the progressive-conservative arguments between Hoover and Roosevelt in the 1930s and illustrating how those issues remain current in public policy today. The authors detail how Hoover, alarmed by the excesses of the New Deal, pointed to the ideas that would constitute modern U.S. conservatism and how three pillars—liberty, limited government, and constitutionalism—formed his case against the New Deal and, in turn, became the underlying philosophy of conservatism today. Illustrating how the debates between Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover were conducted much like the campaign rhetoric of liberals and conservatives in 2012, Lloyd and Davenport assert that conservatives must, to be a viable part of the national conversation, “go back to come back”—because our history contains signposts for the way forward.

<p>Teshuvah is a Hebrew word and corresponding concept which denotes and embodies the act of repentance. Teshuvah entails the two-fold act of turning away from that which defiles the heart, and thereafter returning-to a place of purity of heart. King David's "key" to returning to a place of purity of heart was that in and through his heart of contrition before the Lord. Follow a very painful biographical sketch of the author, as he shares with brutal honesty his sordid trail of brokenness and subsequent cleansing and restoration. Equally follow the parallel of King David's journey in his profound dealings with God, as beautifully portrayed throughout the Book of Psalms.</p>
