			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ken Ham uses modern events as the backdrop for the most important messages of his life.</strong></p>
<p>Millions of Christians have decided that the Bible is out of date. They’ve decided that the words of Jesus aren’t always true. The Foundations — Ken Ham’s signature DVD series based on 30 years of ministry—reveals the alarming state of Christianity today.</p>
<p>It was twelve years ago that Ken Ham was last filmed for a major video series. A lot has changed since then. Twelve years ago, terrorists had not yet flown planeloads of people into New York skyscrapers. The American economy was roaring. Tsunamis had not yet left millions of people asking “why?” America was not simultaneously fighting three different wars. And the president of the United States had not declared that America is no longer a Christian nation.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2703" title="foundations1" src="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/foundations1.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="170" />Today, possibly more than at any time in America’s history, a culture detached from God and willingly ignorant of His hand in creation and world events needs Jesus. But the church is not nearly as effective in reaching the lost as it was only a generation ago. There is a foundational reason.</p>
<p>In this hard-hitting yet often humorous new DVD series, popular Australian-born author Ken Ham uses modern events as the backdrop for the most important messages of his life. By combining his signature talks with cutting edge new graphics and current events headlines, Ham connects with viewers as never before!</p>
<p>DVDs included in this Foundations with Ken Ham set:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Relevance of Genesis</li>
<li>Revealing the Unknown God (Evangelism)</li>
<li>One Blood, One Race</li>
<li>Always Ready (Defending the Faith)</li>
<li>In Six Days</li>
<li>Death the Enemy</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2704" title="foundations2" src="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/foundations2.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="170" />The Relevance of Genesis</span></strong><br />
Why is Genesis so important? In this 2-part DVD Ken Ham uses news stories of recent events combined with Scripture to address today’s most pressing issues. Includes scores of photos and illustrations, plus a mini-interview that reveals his passion for helping Christians to truly understand the distressing impact of disregarding the authority of Scripture. (2 parts)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Revealing the Unknown God (Evangelism)</span></strong><br />
American culture has changed substantially, but our approach to evangelism has not. The key is to “de-Greekize” our families and our churches, beginning with ourselves! To truly reach today’s culture we have to help them understand that God’s Word is true as we spread the seed of the gospel. (2 parts)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">One Blood, One Race</span></strong><br />
Understanding what happened at the Tower of Babel is key to understanding the origin of nations, “races,” prejudice, and much more! Ken discusses Charles Darwin’s destructive teaching regarding skin color, facial features, etc. On the lighter side, this DVD uses Ken’s comical perspective on poodles to teach on natural selection and speciation. (2 parts)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Always Ready (Defending the Faith)</span></strong><br />
1 Peter 3:15 says that we must always be ready to defend the truth of the Bible. But does the idea of being “ready” make your heart beat fast with fear? In these two segments, Ken Ham shares proven ideas and the basics of apologetics to affirm the truth of the Bible in our modern age. This presentation will embolden you to share your faith with others! (2 parts)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">In Six Days</span></strong><br />
What difference does it make today whether the “days” of Genesis 1 were real 24-hour days or millions of years? Here, Ken Ham clears up today’s common misunderstandings in the debate about the “six days” of Creation. Also discover why some pastors and educators avoid this topic and say we really can’t know the truth. (2 parts)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Death the Enemy</span></strong><br />
Some ministers tell their congregations that death is our friend. But God designed a perfect world—no death, no pain. Adam’s sin brought death and suffering. Our world is now in need of restoration, and Ken shares the story of the agonizing death of his brother, a pastor and loving father, to illustrate that death is our enemy, and one day it will be vanquished! (2 parts)</p>
<p>This brand new Foundations with Ken Ham DVD set contains 12 episodes on 6 DVDs (approx. 30 min. per episode). It is intended for an audience of Jr. High through adults and would be perfect for Sunday School, Youth Group, special studies, small groups, personal study, homeschool, etc., etc., etc.!</p>
<p>The retail price for this set is $119.94, but you can get them here at an excellent discount!</p>
<p>Foundations with Ken Ham!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is an amazing bundle that will teach you and your kids about early American History!</p>
<p>This bundle Includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/of-plymouth-plantation/">Of Plymouth Plantation (hardcover)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/bulletproof-george-washington/">Bulletproof George Washington (paperback)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/for-you-they-signed/">For You They Signed (hardcover)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/original-intent/">Original Intent (paperback)</a></li>
<li>Patriotic Resources (in .pdf on CD)</li>
<li>How to Use This Bundle (pamphlet)</li>
</ul>
<p>We are seeing the results of the efforts of revisionist historians for the last century or so – Americans have forgotten what God has done for this land. God told His people to teach the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord so future generations would remain faithful (Psalm 78:1-7). One of the most important things we can do as parents and teachers is to educate the next generation about America’s Godly heritage. This Early American History Bundle will help you do just that.</p>
<p>Included in this set are five excellent books that focus on the founding of America. These books, along with many extras on the Patriotic Resources CD, can be used for a full year family history study or as a challenging summer program for your older students. We’ll also include a pamphlet that gives suggestions on how to use these resources in your individual program. This pamphlet gives an overview of why teaching American History is so important, tips on how to teach history using the Charlotte Mason method, and a suggested timeline on how to schedule your school year. Basically, this set includes everything you need to have an excellent course in Early American History – the Charlotte Mason way!</p>
<p>This bundle can be used for homeschooling or as a supplement &#8212; or just for some fantastic family read-aloud times!</p>
<p>The retail price of these resources is $94.84. Get your set here at a great discount! And you can only get this bundle right here!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This bundle includes these excellent resources:</p>
<ul>
<li>George Washington’s Rules of Civility (in .pdf format on CD)</li>
<li>Simply Grammar (paperback)</li>
<li>Story Starters (paperback)</li>
<li>One Biography (<a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/hendrickson-classic-biographies-10-classics/">your choice</a> &#8211; email us!)</li>
</ul>
<p>Grammar! Copy work! Creative Writing! WOW! Do any of these intimidate you? I love the ‘idea’ of all these things, but when it comes to putting feet to my idea, I get a bit stumped. We have put together a selection of books that will help you in each of these areas and more! Finding a new passage for copy work every day is quite challenging. The Rules of Civility, famously written down by George Washington, are a wonderful copy work tool. Most are short and all will encourage your student to think on how to behave in polite company. These are on a CD in .pdf format – so you can put them in your computer and print them out for each student. After your student is reading well, and you are ready to start formal grammar lessons, Simply Grammar is the way to go! Each lesson is gentle, short, and easy to teach. When you want your student to produce their own stories, but neither one of you know where to begin, Story Starters comes to the rescue! With dozens of stories started for your student, they will find inspiration for their own creativity to take off and finish each story with their own touch!</p>
<p>You can also choose a biography from <a href="http://www.ancientpathsweb.com/hendrickson-classic-biographies-10-classics/">this list</a> to round out your Language Arts Bundle. When you order the bundle, please e-mail us with the name of the biography you choose. Reading a well-written real life story will inspire your child to write his or her own great stories. For your older students, you will find passages perfect for the move to dictation exercises.</p>
<p>Everything you need for an excellent Charlotte Mason language arts study is right here in this bundle (only available right here) – for one low price!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Bundle Includes These Excellent Resources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pocketful of Pinecones (paperback)</li>
<li>Lessons at Blackberry Inn (paperback)</li>
<li>Handbook of Nature Study (in .pdf format on CD)</li>
<li>Fandex Field Guide of Trees</li>
<li>The Aquarium Guide or The Zoo Guide (spiral bound)</li>
<li>Nature Stories for Children (Beatrix Potter/Thornton Burgess books in .pdf format on CD)</li>
</ul>
<p>Nature Studies sound so wonderful – and intimidating, don’t they? Charlotte Mason advocated getting children into the out of doors every day, in all kinds of weather, and in all kinds of spaces. Whether you have no yard of your own at all, or you have acres of land right outside your door, it IS possible to give your children an excellent education about God’s creation. Using these items, you can be a wonderful guide to your child’s nature study. Pocketful of Pinecones and Lessons at Blackberry Inn show you just how a mother can guide her children through the first few years of nature study. The Handbook of Nature Study is the ultimate resource and reference tool – if there’s something you don’t know about nature, chances are you will find it in here! It’s important to have a field guide you can take with you to help identify the things you’ll find. Trees are usually not hard to find, and this Fandex Guide to Trees will help you identify dozens of different trees. The Zoo Guide or Aquarium Guide (you pick!) will help you navigate the evolutionary waters you encounter at most zoos and aquariums. Last, but not least, the beautiful pictures and stories by Beatrix Potter and Thornton Burgess on this CD are classic introductions to animals living all around us, but that we don’t often see.</p>
<p>This Bundle is only available right here!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>&#8220;Direct my thoughts, words and work, wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb, and purge my heart by thy holy spirit, from the dross of my natural corruption, that I may with more freedom of mind and liberty of will serve thee, the ever living God, in righteousness and holiness this day, and all the days of my life.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Have you ever wondered how George Washington was able to live such an amazing life?  Have you wondered how he stayed so humble with all of the accolades of men that were thrown at him?  How it seems like everything he touched, flourished?  Well, this book gives us a glimpse into the answer: before there were any of Washington&#8217;s victories or Washington&#8217;s accomplishments, there were <em>Washington&#8217;s Prayers</em>.</p>
<p>This 88 page e-book gives us a brief glimpse into George Washington&#8217;s most private life &#8212; his spiritual life and his prayer life. We know, from the testimony of those close to him, that he spent much time in his prayer closet each day.  We know also that Washington used the <em>Book of Common Prayer</em> in his devotion time.  Now we can see in <em>Washington&#8217;s Prayers</em> some prayers that are attributed to Washington himself.</p>
<p>This e-book is a reprint of the 1907 work by W. Herbert Burk.  Mr. Burk gives us an excellent summary of Washington&#8217;s spiritual life, which sets the stage for the highlight of the book &#8212; eight prayers of George Washington.</p>
<p>There is an ongoing debate about whether these prayers are actually in the handwriting of George Washington or not.  Handwriting experts who have studied the pages are divided with their opinions as to the authenticity of the documents.  Since the prayers are very similar to ones found in the <em>Book of Common Prayer</em> that Washington was known to use and likely would have copied into a prayer journal, and since the handwritten pages were found among Mount Vernon&#8217;s documents, it is easy to see why many believe these to be in the handwriting of George Washington himself.  Whether these pages were written by Washington or not, they are certainly consistent with the humble and spiritual nature of our first president.</p>
<p>The eight prayers cover 24 pages of the book, and then Mr. Burk provides a transcript of the prayers.  In the pdf e-book, you could easily print these prayers for use in your personal devotion time.</p>
<p>We are proud to provide the reprint of W. Herbert Burk&#8217;s 1907 classic, <em>Washington&#8217;s Prayers</em>.  Get your copy here today!</p>
