Sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious, Nita Horn's exquisitely told and inspiring memoir of a poor little girl's dreams of horses and where that love could lead is a triumph of loss and survival, sacrifice, devotion, acceptance, forgiveness, and finally, success. As a child, Nita escaped the demands of the day by sitting on her "flying carpet" with a small bag of cheap plastic animal toys and her sister, Althia, while they imagined themselves visiting exotic farms and locales to rescue and heal. But when tragedy struck Nita at the age of thirteen and her sister and father were taken from her, she wondered if there was anything left to believe in. Personally decimated, her already fractured life came apart at the seams. Nita's mother--who also nearly died from the accident--floundered with depression and loss. Nita dejectedly followed wherever each day would lead, struggling with identity, confidence, and self-image...until the day she met a "charmingly flawed" young man. He was a self-confident, cocky loner. Yet, he believed in her and her dreams. Together, they would spend their next decades overcoming obstacles and testing commitments, finding true love, faith, ministry, and the miracle of healing--for her as well as for others. From devastation to tenderness, from humor to warmth, from surviving poverty to discovering an invisible God that has a plan for all our lives, No Fences is an intimate and revealing narrative of losing dreams, getting them back, and the faith journey in between. They say that behind every great man there is a great woman. Finally, the woman behind SkyWatch TV CEO Tom Horn tells her story.

In the year 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England carrying more than a hundred hopeful, determined, and God-fearing individuals into an unknown future. Setting their minds on the promises of God and their faith in Him, they ventured into the unfamiliar as they placed their lives and those of their children in His hands. Little did they know that despite many hardships they would build the most powerful, inventive, industrial, and free nation that had ever existed to this point in history. For many, the nation was founded on God. The fabric that held the country together was woven with the blood, sweat, tears, fortitude, and faith of a generation who set their resolve and trust in the God of the Bible and never looked back. America the Beautiful. The Strong. The United. The Innovative. The Independent. America, the One Nation Under God. So, what happened? As a godless and seemingly aimless America faces decline unparalleled to any deterioration that previous generations could have ever foreseen, many now look around in astonishment and wonder what changed. Can America return to its glory days? If so, how? Join Thomas Horn, Christina Peck, Robert Maginnis, Donna Howell, Sheila Zilinsky, Josh Peck, Cris Putnam, Sharon Gilbert, Allie Anderson, Joe Ardis, and Derek Gilbert as this question is explored and discussed in When Once We Were a Nation.

The veil was not the only thing that Christ s arrival on earth tore asunder. Social and religious barriers, serving to draw lines between specific people groups for thousands of years before His arrival, were suddenly in light of His Great Commission transformed. Never would a tax collector, a zealot, and a traditional Jew share a meal together in peace...but following just a short time in Jesus presence, these barriers crumbled. The influence that Christ had on the men in His day has been celebrated for two thousand years. The overlooked question within mainstream Christianity remains to be: What influence did He have upon women, and what statements did His words and actions make in relation to gender equality? Is it possible that while Jesus Christ, Himself, recognized appropriate gender roles, He also intentionally began the first Women s Liberation Movement? As sensational as this may sound, the proof is in the Word of God, and in the proper contextual analysis of it. IN THE HANDMAIDEN CONSPIRACY, YOU WILL: Follow the cultural and historic backdrop behind Paul s words in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy the trouble verses in relation to the issue of women leadership in the Church and understand more properly what he was responding to when the epistles were written. Observe the Principal of Internal Consistency at play throughout repeated accounts of Scripture openly describing women preaching, teaching, prophesying, and leading with powerful voices in the Body of Christ and Saint Peter s acknowledgment that this very activity, foretold in Joel 2:28, began on the Day of Pentecost. Discover what the original Greek nouns and adjectives meant in Paul s greeting orders, the women that he was both commissioning and commending as fellow ministers of his own circle (Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and several others who were suddenly equal to men in ministerial commission), and the misleading translational and interpretational errors that continuously assist in perpetuating an erroneous concept that women should always remain silent in the work of Christ. Reflect upon the women Jesus knew, both from Scripture as well as in person, and the groundbreaking, permanent changes He made regarding their rights, their value, and their role in delivering His message to the world. Revisit and refine some ancient, yet inaccurate, ideas the Body of Christ has had regarding the Bible s most talked-about women, such as Eve, Mary (the mother of Christ), Mary Magdalene, Judge Deborah, Prophetess Huldah, and others. Understand why the prohibition of women as equals in leadership is not only unbiblical, it is actually doing harm to the Church today.
