A CRITICAL TIME. . . . A CRITICAL MESSAGE

"Change the world!" should be the rallying cry of every Christian. The early

church was known for its world-changing gospel. When the gospel was preached,

these first century Christians were rightly accused of "turning the world

upside down" (Acts 17:6). Their preaching affected all of life (Acts 20:27).

Today's church is again believing the world can be changed. Christians are no

longer content to see the world transformed into a nightmare by those who deny

Jesus Christ and His Word.

Christians must be obedient to the mandate God has given to extend His

Kingdom to every sphere of life, to every corner of the globe (Gen. 1:26-28;

Matt. 28:18-20). Communism, militant Islam, and secular humanism have had

their day. The world can be changed through the preaching of the Gospel and

the application of Scripture to every area of life. The time is now!

Christians around the world are beginning to realize the Jesus is indeed Lord

of heaven AND earth.

American Vision: A History

American Vision began in 1979 to help Christians understand that America had a

biblical foundation. In order to capture the early Christian history of our

nation we produced the award-winning audio tape THE AMERICAN VISION: 360 YEARS

LATER. In 36 minutes the truth about 360 years of American history comes

alive. Don Basham said of this dramatic tape: "This tape should be heard by

every American. It presents our national heritage in the true light of almost

forgotten Christian influences, striking a telling blow against the secularist

voices which strive to bury the American dream."

We are not content to relive the past, however. The present and future

America (and the world) are on our mind. Our primary ministry is to help

Christians develop a comprehensive Biblical view of life -- a Biblical World

View. For too long many Christians believed that the Bible addressed a very

narrow slice of life -- Bible study, prayer, worship, evangelism, and heaven.

While the Bible does speak to these vital areas, it also give specific

instructions on business, economics, law, medicine, journalism, art,

education, the plight of the poor, the causes and solutions to war and

terrorism, politics, the family, science, and every other conceivable area of

life.

American Vision believes there is a need for educational materials that

will help Christians develop a Biblical World View, to counter the effects of

a humanistic culture and to build a Christian civilization. We publish

civilization-changing materials designed to answer the "tough" questions. Our

generation needs believers who, like the sons of Issachar, understand the

times with knowledge of what our nation should do (1 Chron. 12:32).

Making an Impact

Since 1979, American Vision has helped churches, Christian ministries, home

schoolers, private Christian schools, and individual Christians across

denominational lines learn to apply the Bible to all of life.

The GOD AND GOVERNMENT series has received national attention for its

biblical content, historical analysis, high quality, and beauty. Dr. Gary

North, a leading economist, writes: "This series comprises the most complete

treatment available on the biblical principles of government." Each volume is

filled with information-packed chapters, solidly rooted in Scripture. To

enhance the beauty of each volume, hundreds of engravings, historic

photographs, and period prints fill each chapter.

There are plans for a series on Law, Economics, Welfare and the Poor,

Business, Education, and the Family. They will all follow the format of the

GOD AND GOVERNMENT series, designed for personal Bible study, Sunday School,

home school, classes dealing with government, politics, and contemporary

issues. It is our goal to see a generation that can handle "accurately the

word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). These volumes are not substitutes for the

Bible. They are designed to make Bible study more systematic and engaging.

BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES chronicles how a group of dedicated Christians

developed a consistently biblical poverty ministry. In BRINGING IN THE

SHEAVES, George Grant outlines the dismal failures of government programs and

sets forth the Biblical solutions. He believes the Bible and the blueprint it

offers can transform poverty into productivity. BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES is

not just another book on dismal poverty statistics. It is a comprehensive and

practical program designed for families, churches, and private enterprise to

step in and do the hard work of securing social (biblical) justice in our

time.

The book is filled with detailed steps of action that can be immediately

implemented without access to vast amounts of time, money, space, specialized

skills, or abundant resources. In other words, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES,

unlike most other books on poverty, is not primarily theory. It is primarily

practice -- Biblical practice.
