Symptoms of broken systems are all around us, due to our over-consumptive lifestyles, nearly unfettered capitalism, failure to live peaceably together, and the societal dismissal of nature's limits. Climate change is our new reality, and we must respond to that immediately. Fortunately, the world's faith traditions in general--and Christianity specifically--have given us a spiritual path to follow that can alleviate these problems. When the golden rule is coupled with the ethics and principles of permaculture in theory and in practice, then humanity and the diversity of other species can harmoniously thrive together. Go Golden, like a weather vane, points the reader towards the path forward. ""Dillon Naber Cruz presents Christians with a choice in this book: continue destroying the planet and eventually destroy ourselves, or become stewards of God's creation for the sake of our grandchildren and their children. While you may find yourself, as I did, disagreeing with certain political positions Cruz takes, you will also find yourself cheering him on as this autobiographical tale leads from ignorance to insight, from prevarications to profundity, and from human selfishness to salvation."" --Michael Hardin, author of Mimetic Theory and Biblical Interpretation and co-editor of Compassionate Eschatology ""In Go Golden, Dillon Naber Cruz examines the ecological problems faced by the world while asking the reader to consider what would happen if we treated everyone, including the other-than-human, as we want to be treated? As someone of faith who cares for Earth, I consider Go Golden essential reading for anyone who wants to create a more beautiful world today and for generations to come."" --Scott Mann, host of ""The Permaculture Podcast with Scott Mann"" Dillon Naber Cruz is a permaculture enthusiast and author. He enjoys photography and hiking as a way to connect him to his local bioregion.

We are the only people that we know of who can look up and pity those who fly over us. We are sorry that you have never been able to stop in our world long enough for a conversation or retelling of family stories. We wish we could show you what was left out of songs or Broadway shows they wrote about us. Few of us can afford to live where you do, but we would share our riches and concerns with you if you knocked at the door. Make this your first visit to our land. You may never come back, but you won't forget us. Blessed are the people of the prairie.
The Power & Freedom of Purpose Workbook: A Thirty-four Day Guide

This book holds the keys to yourself discovery and growth. 7 steps to Purpose is a workbook based on "The Power & Freedom of Purpose". It is self contained and can be used independently of the book from which it is extracted. The author thought that he knew himself. He thought that he was alright until he took on the journey of writing this book. It became a very personal journey of self-awareness, self-examination, and noticeable growth in his own life. Today he credits the significant growth and laser focus he has in life to the journey which he courageously took on in writing this book. Having served as a missionary and as a seminary trained pastor in a mainline denomination, pastor Burgin served in several countries. As he lived in different countries he saw how his mind was expanding through his involvement in the cultural make up of those places. However, he came to his senses when he realized that he was more a product of the traditions and the Religious Tradition in which he was raised, than he was a divinely directed follower of the Truths that guide a self-actualized life. This work book was designed to not preach to the reader or to talk down to them. Rather, it is a personal offer of companionship on your journey to the joyful discovery. I can't wait to hear your story.
Metric System Yes, Common Core No: A Letter to American Parents, Educators, and Politicians, From a Mathematics Teacher

In mathematics and science, United States (US) students, ranked 30th and 24th respectively among 57 countries in 2012. In 2015, after five years with Common Core, they ranked 40th in mathematics and 24th in science. This is the tail end of a documented decline for over 35 years. And yet, the US spends more money per student than all other countries. In his book, Dillon M. Lobban, EdD, mathematics teacher, teacher trainer and curriculum designer compared the curricula and education environments of other countries and finds the reason the US is so far behind. His analysis shows that the US, Myanmar and Liberia are the only countries in the word still using the convoluted medieval imperial system of measurements in school curricula. All other countries use the metric system and the Celsius scale. He has determined that the real culprit in the decline of math and science education in the US is the continued use of the United States Customary System (USCS) i.e. the imperial system of measurements, with over 20 asymmetric measurements units. The leading countries in math/science education utilize the simpler, easy to use and symmetric metric system with only three units and the Celsius scale in school curricula. Lobban argues that the Celsius scale would enable US students to start algebra in the first grade as does Russia. It was Russia, a metric system country, which shocked the US with the launching of Sputnik in 1957, making it the first satellite to orbit the earth. In 2009, the US Department of Education pledged $5 billion to states, to implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to improve mathematics education, without piloting nor field testing. Lobban has evaluated these standards through feedback from teachers, parents, students, and educational professionals, and finds them awfully deficient. Instead of experiencing the joy and pleasure of mathematics, American students are confused and frustrated to the point of being in tears.In his book, Lobban lays out the solution of the two issues, the US precipitous decline in mathematics and science and the opportunistic implementation of Common Core and suggests practical solutions. He suggests scrapping the CCSS and default to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NTCM) Process Standards, with infusions of metric system elements. He argues for an immediate implementation of a ten-year country-wide phasing in of the metric system and the Celsius Scale while phasing out the USCS and the Fahrenheit scale. Lobban's book is written to be a resource for information, content and pedagogy for teachers and parents to bring joy and pleasure to mathematics and science. He advises parents how to become advocates for their children's success in K-12 mathematics and science education.
