The Rescue of the 1964 Civil Rights Act

Growth in Presidential Power from George Washington to Barack Obama

Revelation and Religious Liberty in the Bible

by Robert Kimball Shinkoskey ...

A foundational law promoting worship of the God of the Exodus (the Decalogue's First Commandment) has little meaning without a government policy permitting such worship.

The Politics of Limited Government in the Bible

by Robert Kimball Shinkoskey ...

For 2,000 years Western culture has leaned heavily on the Ten Commandments for guidance in religion, ethics, and morality. The author, drawing upon modern Biblical science, demonstrates that those laws were designed for an entirely different purpose--to provide alternatives to repressive policies Israel reeled under in Egypt.

Cole Porter: Selected Lyrics

Cole Porter possessed to a singular degree the art of expressing depth through apparent frivolity. The effervescent wit and technical bravura of his songs are matched by their unguarded revelations of feeling. In the words of editor Robert Kimball, “Porter wrote tellingly of the pain and evanescence of emotional relationships. He gently mocked propriety and said that few things were simple or ...
