The Prudent and The Simple by E. G. Weiss is a thought-provoking examination of the biblical warning in Proverbs 22:3, which states, "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."

This book challenges the complacency often found within faith-based institutions, urging leaders and congregations to face the uncomfortable reality that their places of worship are not immune to such threats. Through compelling analysis, real-world examples, and spiritual insight, The Prudent and The Simple calls for a shift toward proactive measures in safeguarding communities. Weiss explores the critical need for comprehensive security strategies, preparedness training, and the importance of taking refuge in wisdom rather than being caught off guard by danger. This timely and urgent message serves as a clarion call to faith leaders, security teams, and congregants to heed the warning and protect their places of worship for future generations.

In a nation once united by shared values and a collective sense of identity, the United States now finds itself teetering on the brink of internal conflict, with streets that seem perilously close to becoming war zones. The seeds of this volatility have been sown by a combination of failed policies, the weaponization of our justice system, and a political landscape mired in corruption and divisiveness. Dirty politics and cancel culture have eroded civil discourse, creating an environment where opposing viewpoints are not just disagreed with but silenced and demonized. The ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its devastating societal and economic impact, have only deepened these divides, leaving a fractured country struggling to find its way back to common ground.
As a generation grows up without a clear understanding of what it means to be a patriot or a true American, the loss of core values that once defined this nation becomes painfully evident. The ideals of freedom, responsibility, and unity are being overshadowed by self-interest, misinformation, and a relentless drive to cancel rather than communicate. This new landscape, driven by social media and ideological silos, fuels the fires of discontent and exacerbates the already deep-rooted polarization within our society. The consequences of this trajectory are dire, with every day bringing us closer to a point of no return.
The American dream has been overshadowed by a nightmare of division, where citizens no longer view each other as compatriots but as enemies on opposing sides of an ideological battlefield. This conflict is not fought with traditional weapons but with rhetoric, legislation, and cultural warfare that cuts to the core of what it means to be an American. The weaponization of institutions, once trusted to uphold justice and fairness, now serves as a tool for partisan agendas, eroding public trust and stoking the fires of anger and resentment.
This book explores the tragic reality of where these divisions could lead—a landscape where the streets of America might truly become battlegrounds if the current trajectory remains unchecked. It is a call to recognize the high cost that will be paid by everyone, regardless of their political stance, should we continue down this path. The price of this internal strife will be borne by communities, families, and individuals on every side, none spared from the fallout of a society tearing itself apart.
Amidst this volatility, the book seeks to uncover the lost values that once made America a beacon of hope and a model of democracy. It examines how the erosion of these values—respect for one another, a sense of shared destiny, and the willingness to engage in difficult but necessary conversations—has contributed to the current state of affairs. By reflecting on these lost ideals, the narrative aims to not only diagnose the present crisis but also to inspire a recommitment to the principles that can lead us out of this darkness.
Ultimately, this work is both a warning and a call to action. It implores readers to acknowledge the stakes and the urgency of the moment. The battle for the soul of America is not just about politics or power; it is about reclaiming the very essence of what it means to be a united, resilient, and principled nation. Only by confronting these challenges head-on can we hope to steer our country away from the precipice and toward a future where our streets are not defined by conflict, but by the shared pursuit of a better tomorrow.

“Each parenting program has its own merits, but none fit our family and so, none of them worked. As our youngest children got a little older, we really started to see that we had to get on a path of discovery if we were going to survive being parents, but there were so many obstacles in the way of a unified approach to parenting.”
