Book Cover & Preview Text
As I write this, a very dark, ominous cloud looms large over our great nation. It is an uneasy cloud of uncertainty about the future of our homeland, America, which has for over two hundred years been a beacon of freedom to the whole world. Each of us simply took for granted that she would continue to be, forever. America has always been a lighthouse that penetrates the thick darkness of night and shines its rays of hope to the entire globe—the hope of freedom from tyranny and evil rule. Our nation has been a “life raft” to those who are in despair and would risk their precious lives to escape their present existence. To die in the effort to escape is much preferred over sitting idly and waiting to die, void of America’s plenteous liberties.
For all these years, America has been the envy of the entire world for our freedom, our justice (though not perfect, it is better than any other), our privileges, our privacy, our possessions, our security, our lives and livelihoods, our liberty, and our happiness. How did we acquire these treasures? Where do they come from? Why is it that no other nation has ever attained what we have? What is it that has caused us to gain this favor?
The sad truth is that we are losing those wonderful things we enjoy every day and most times take for granted. Some curse us as the great Satan, yet even they rush our shores as great stampeding herds fleeing from danger. To be sure, they want what we have, whether it be to take advantage of our freedom, so they may acquire our fossil fuel, or the wide-open spaces that represent freedom. Make no mistake, they want what we have! I know thousands and thousands have given or risked all they have to protect all we have.
But where did all these blessings originate? Many of you are thinking, Man, that’s a silly question, but I submit to you there is an entire generation that actually does not know where these freedoms came from! I talk to some of these people; I hear them on the airwaves. They actually have no idea how we came about these freedoms, much less what it takes to keep them.

Still clinging to his Country Boy roots, Jesse was born and raised in west-central Louisiana, to a work-at-home Mother and a Bi-Vocational Baptist Pastor Father. This Christian-Home up-bringing, combined with the work ethic of an agrarian lifestyle, flavors his unique writing and teaching skills. He came to Christ at an early age but faced some personal struggles in his life that challenged his faith and threatened his ministry. After many years at what Jesse affectionately refers to as Wilderness University, the Lord brought Jesse full circle and confronted him with his commitment to Christ and his call to the ministry. For many years, he worked in law enforcement and security, on the east coast, extending to the federal level. Jesse writes from a spiritual and professional knowledge gained from his unique experiences. Graduating from LeTourneau University, pursuing graduate studies, Jesse teaches, writes, and hosts a podcast from his home in Livingston, Texas. Armed with a sharp rapier wit and a lovable sense of humor, Jesse is well known for his masterful ability to present Biblical Truth in what is often described as "a clear and easy to understand manner", that challenges the hearer to draw closer to Christ.
