In order to respond to the growing number of requests by a new generation of young families for help on many of the issues I have taught on over the years, my twin sons, Alex, Brett (see www.therebelution.com) have converted some of my best tape-recorded seminars from the 1980s and 90s into sets of MP3 files. They may now be purchased and downloaded from www.noblebooks.org.

We are calling this The Legacy Series and it includes:

The Basic Home Schooling Workshop
The Seasons of Life Seminar
The Noble Planner Time Management Seminar
The Households of Strength Seminar
The Family Business Seminar
The Family Storytelling Seminar, and most recently,
The Household of Faith Seminar.

If you are looking for practical help in life-planning, marriage building, child training, career planning and church reform, these seminars and workshops may be of help.

This new MP3 technology allows us to share the messages that helped to launch the international national movements in Christian home schooling, family restoration and age-integrated local churches (see Household of Faith Community Church). Each seminar set was originally $29 to $39 on cassette tapes. Now, due to the lower expenses involved with distribution the web, we are able to offer them at around $2 per session, and that with no shipping and handing fees. Amazing!

I hope you will make use of this material. I stand by what I taught back then, and though a few references are dated, the biblical principles and the basic ideas continue to stand the test of time and guide my own life decisions. They are certainly bearing out well in the lives of my children as they enter onto each new season of their lives.

One last thing to mention is that Noble Institute www.nobleinstitute.org, The Rebelution, Good News Project, and now this new commerce site, Noble Books all operate under Noble Institute as a non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt educational organization. Therefore, any purchases and/or donations made will be used to develop new resources, launch new ministry projects and maintain and grow our sites for greater service. Thank you for your support. And thank you also for helping me get the word out to your friends and fellow enthusiasts on the web.

The Rebelution website has just been completely updated for its one-year anniversary! Be sure to visit the new site and give the twins your feedback. As an unbiased father I think it looks great and the forums are a great addition.

For those who are new to this teen ministry blog-site, “The Rebelution” is defined as “a teenage rebellion against the low expectations of an ungodly culture.” It’s motto is “Do Hard Things.” Is this another example of teenagers trying to change the world? Well, yes. But this time there is a lot more maturity behind it.

Young adults in every generation tend to swerve into one ditch or the other—lawlessness and rebellion on the left and legalism and self-righteousness on the right. If you try too hard to avoid the one you are likely to swerve into the other. The road itself is the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is only maintained by walking in the power of the Holy Spirit in the light of God’s Word, the Bible and showing your love for God by the way you love others, and especially those He has placed in your life—as family, church, friends and neighbors.

That is sound doctrinal zeal. May God bless The Rebelution and preserve them for their good and His eternal glory. Happy first anniversary!
