In "State of the Union Addresses," Richard M. Nixon delivers a compelling collection of his presidential addresses that showcases the complex interplay of domestic policy, international relations, and national identity during a tumultuous period in American history. Written in a direct and engaging style, Nixon's addresses highlight his rhetorical skills and strategic framing of issues such as civil rights, the Cold War, and economic challenges. Contextualized within the socio-political landscape of the 1960s and early 1970s, these speeches serve as vital documents for understanding not only Nixon's presidency but also the broader political discourse of the era. Richard M. Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, is a figure whose life and career were marked by both significant accomplishments and controversies. His experiences as a lawyer, congressman, and vice president provided him with a unique perspective on the challenges facing the nation. This book is a reflection of his pragmatic approach to governance and his belief in the power of communication to rally the American public around shared goals, despite the controversies that would later overshadow his legacy. For historians, political scientists, and general readers alike, "State of the Union Addresses" offers invaluable insights into the mind of a president negotiating the challenging waters of leadership. Nixon's craftsmanship in speechwriting and his commitment to addressing pressing issues make this collection a crucial resource for understanding the complexities of American governance and the enduring themes within political rhetoric.

"What is most striking about Mr. Nixon's charge to seize the moment, nearly all of which is sensible and sound, is the continuity of his counsel." —The New York Times “In Moscow, Khrushchev arrogantly predicted to me, 'Your grandchildren will live under communism.' I responded, 'Your grandchildren will live in freedom.' At the time, I was sure he was wrong, but I was not sure I was right. As a result of the new Soviet revolution, I proved to be right. Khrushchev's grandchildren now live in freedom." In this brilliantly timed book, Richard Nixon defines the challenges and opportunities facing America as the world's sole superpower. Only American leadership, he contends, can guide the turbulent post-Soviet Union world toward freedom and prosperity and make the 21st century an American century. Forcefully dismissing the three prevailing post-Cold War myths about America—that "history has ended" with the defeat of communism, that military power had become irrelevant, and that America is a declining power—Nixon charts the course America must take in the future to seize this moment in history.

"In writing No More Vietnams, Richard Nixon-with the unique perspective of the man who served us America's commander-in-chief during the war's most difficult stage-has set out to dispel the myths of Vietnam, to show why we failed in Vietnam, and to contribute to the development of policies that will help avoid such failures in the future. In doing so, President Nixon analyzes the role that four presidents, the military, the Congress, the media, and the antiwar movement played in the Vietnam debacle." -- Front jacket flap

Many local churches are stuck in a rut, have reached a plateau, or - worst of all - are declining. The temptation is to serve up the same exact ministry models that worked in another time and space, but ultimately feel safe to existing churches. Like ordering from a menu at the franchise chain restaurant and expecting the meal to be palatable in the local context, many churches try and start something new by serving up the same old thing, failing to discover what their local community is actually hungry for. From Franchise to Local Dive explores what it means to multiply ministry by cooking with local flavor. Whether you want to start a new service, or a brand-new campus, this workshop will help you discover how to make a ministry recipe that will keep people coming back for more. The local church is not called to settle for the fast food chain mentality that cranks out disciples with slick slogans, flashy trends and regurgitated practices. Rather the call is to be a local, homegrown, farm-fresh, organic ministry that uses authentic ingredients to win people for Jesus. In Franchise to Local Dive, Jason Moore and Rosario Picardo offer an important resource designed to help congregations multiply their ministries by learning how to perfect their winning recipes.
