The church in America refuses to grow up. We are known for women's ordination, emotionally unhealthy worship services, and childish skits replacing the sermon. We are the Corinthians, refusing Paul's offer of meat to drink our milk instead.Back to Basics is a resource for pastors and laymen to mature in the Reformed faith of our fathers, covering topics such as conversion, covenant, church, and the Christian life. If we can return to the basics now, our nation's churches will be known for men with gravitas in the pulpits, for glorious and loud congregational singing, and, by God's grace, for generations of faithful families. If we cannot get the basics right, the church will starve, and God will have to work with the ashes instead.

Huguenot Garden is a children's story of the daily and adventurous episodes in the lives of Rene and Albret Martineau, young twin sisters in a seventeeth-century, French Protestant family. The episodes follow the twins and the rest of the Martineau family as they work, worship, commune, and suffer persecution together.The story aims to portray the ideas and historical details common to Huguenot life in La Rochelle, France, 1685, a tragic year whose final quarter brought the full wrath of Louis XIV.
