Be the People: A Call to Reclaim America's Faith and Promise

Now available in trade paper with a new introduction - Be the People&nbsp;is an insightful analysis of the forces of deception rapidly reshaping America's morals, social policies, and culture, with a call to specific action, written by a thoughtful and courageous Christian social scientist on the front lines of today's issues. Cultural elites in the media, academia, and politics are daily deceiving millions of Americans into passively supporting policies that are detrimental to the nation and their own best interest. Although some Americans can see through the smokescreen, they feel powerless to redirect the forces inside and outside government that radically threaten cherished values and principles. Drawing on her training in political science and law, Dr. Swain thoughtfully examines the religious significance of the founding of our nation and the deceptions that have infiltrated our daily lives and now threaten traditional families, unborn children, and members of various racial and ethnic groups--as well as national sovereignty itself--and provides action points for the people of this country to make the political system more responsive. The book is divided into two sections: <ul> <li>Forsaking what we once knew</li> <li>Re-embracing truth and justice in policy choices</li> </ul> It also covers key topics such as: <ul> <li>America's shift to moral relativism</li> <li>America's religious roots</li> <li>Abortion's fragile facade</li> <li>Historical and biblical views on families and children</li> <li>Erosion of rule of law, national security, and immigration</li> <li>Racial and ethnic challenges</li> <li>Reclaiming the future</li> </ul> "Be the People&nbsp;is a courageous analysis of today's most pressing issues, exposing the deceptions by the cultural elite and urging 'We the People' to restore America's faith and values."--Sean Hannity "There are many good books but only a few really important ones. Dr. Carol Swain's&nbsp;Be the People&nbsp;is one of the latter. Brave, informed, candid, and thoughtful, she brings her fine academic mind to bear on the most pressing needs facing our country."--Tony Perkins "A courageous, challenging, and controversial call to Americans of all colors to return to their Creator and to come to their Judeo-Christian senses."--Dr. Peter A. Lillback "In&nbsp;Be the People&nbsp;Professor Carol Swain thoughtfully examines the biblical roots and religious significance of today's most pressing issues. Professor Swain shows how to make your voice heard and how to reclaim America's faith and values."--Lou Dobbs

The "graphic lit" love child of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Raymond Carver, Carol Swain's comics first appeared in print in the late 1980s, and Swain has since contributed her biting, bedazzling comics to over twenty anthologies across the globe. Her two graphic novels, Invasion of the Mind Sappers and Foodboy, have been kept in print by Fantagraphics Books, and Alan Moore describes Swain's Foodboy as "dark and full of life, like soil... a perfect example of what modern comics are capable of if they only try." Collecting over thirty short stories by the London-based writer/artist, Crossing the Empty Quarter and Other Stories is Swain's first career-spanning collection. Her introspective, boldly executed, and visually unique works are peppered with magical realism, autobiography, and undying punk attitudes, and while Swain's canon of stories runs through a wide range of emotions and situations, they are all tied together with an art style that is universally appealing and undeniably unique.

Bruce Paley turned 18 in 1967 during the Summer of Love. Paley's tumultuous journey took him from being a hippie in the 1960s to a heroin addict for much of the 1970s. These stories are vividly brought to life in Giraffes in My Hair: A Rock 'N' Roll Life by the compelling visual storytelling of Bruce's partner, the cartoonist Carol Swain. Swain's trademark visual approach to comics, typified by exquisitely composed panels that vividly capture both anomie and pathos, is perfectly suited to dramatizing Paley's life during that confusing, tumultuous period of American history - a life lived in the countercultural margins, amidst personal chaos and social dissolution. Swain's storytelling rhythms are contemplative and breathe inner life into Paley's turbulent stories, creating a perceptive prism to view the vast possibilities and endless pitfalls as experienced by a kid growing up in America in the late 1960s and early '70s.

Helen is an amateur bird watcher and naturalist who lives in a rural community in Wales. When a local farmer Bill tells Helen that a â€œrare birdâ€ named Emrys killed himself at Cuddig farm, she decides to investigate. One of the dogs at the farm tells her, by way of explanation, that Emrys â€œhad no feathers and couldnâ€™t fly.â€ She plucks an old cosmetic kit from a dumpster and discovers it belonged to Emrys. Inventorying the kitâ€™s contents, she finds a spent .12 gauge shotgun shell. Her attempt to learn more about Emrys turns into a journey of self-discovery and ultimately a hard-fought reconciliation with the world â€” as it is. Carol Swainâ€™s Gast is the rare kind of contemporary graphic novel critics are conjuring when they exult over the promise of the art formâ€” a philosophically mature vision, uniquely executed by an artist wholly in control of her craft. In Gast, Helenâ€™s inner life is slowly revealed through a mixture of naturalistic detail and phantasmagoric occurrences.
