"Boomers How We Changed the World" Vol.1 1946-1980: A Generational Biography: Baby Boomers; Those Born from 1946-1964
A Brief History. Timeline of events portrayed like looking through a photo album of the past. There are many quick moments of time captured that create a desire for more information and understanding. How did the United States and its citizens get to where we are in 2010? Read for fun and use for high school or college course material.
Those born from 1946-1964, this book is about YOU. Volume 1: The years from 1946 through 1980. You lived it. You suffered through it. You enjoyed it, but does anyone really understand what we went through?
Do you remember that while the “Easy Bake Oven” was the hottest toy for the Christmas season of 1963:
In China the Great Leap Forward was responsible for over 31 million deaths due to starvation and famine which remained mostly unknown to the western world.
The University of Alabama desegregated only after Governor George Wallace stepped aside when confronted by federally deployed National Guard troops.
Civil rights leader Medgar Evers was assassinated June 12.
Martin Luther King's “I Have A Dream,” speech, August 28.
South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated. November 2.
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas November 22.
Jack Ruby assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald, November 24, on live TV.
This all took place the summer & fall of 1963! Did you even remember that all of this was going on while you were in front of the TV watching “Petticoat Junction” or “The Fugitive”?
Controversial. Thought-provoking. Creates interest and discussion.
Area Highlights Briefly covered, year by year, in a “snapshot” Generational Biography timeline: Oil History, Major News, Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Movement, Gay Rights, Popular Culture, Business, Technology, Finance, Banking, Books, TV, Radio, Sports, Music, Natural Disasters, Man vs. Man, War, Cost of Living, Auto prices, Food prices, Wages, Unemployment, Movies, Broadway, Federal Debt, CPI, GDP, Diversity, Government spending, Social Security, Oil prices, Gold prices, Silver prices, House, Senate, President, Yen, Dollar, Yuan, Rial. BOOMERS. What was the World like that you inherited? And “How We Changed The World”.
There are over 80 million Boomers in the U.S. If you look through the data it is obvious how the citizens of the United States of America (YOU) fought for honor, decency, high moral values and against all of the warnings we started to slide ever so slowly down that path to where we are today.
What so many of us do not remember is how long and hard we fought. This book will mean something different to every person who reads it because we are all different with a common ground. Our intention is to take you back in time and allow you to feel exactly what it was like. This book is a powerful academic resource that can be used on many different levels. Above all it is down-to-earth and extremely interesting to just sit and read.
" Dead Church. Stupid God ?"
The Apostle Paul was not a great "Church Planter". The Bible does NOT say we are supposed to go and start a new Church, invite everyone in the neighborhood and then slowly try to convert them. In the first place man cannot bring someone to God through Jesus Christ. Only the Holy Spirit can bring someone to God through Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul was obedient to God's will and did as he was instructed. "Go and make Disciples" Not go and plant churches.
The Christian Church has spent more than 2,000 years trying to do things the way THEY think is best instead of just doing what God told them to do. Go and make Disciples and the Church can spend up to one year per person ministering the Gospel to every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth and finish in less than 33 years.

Alford Plea – Under the law in the United States, the Alford Plea is a guilty plea in criminal court where the defendant admits that sufficient evidence exists to most likely sway a judge or jury that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the defendant does not admit the act and still asserts innocence.
In other words: The defendant pleads guilty and says it sure looks like he is guilty. All the evidence says he is guilty, but there must be some mistake because he still says he is innocent.
Alford Press was founded on the belief that most people will go before God
with this same attitude.
