Fathers Press
Author & Publisher Rally Support Behind Three Navy SEAL’s. 
Elizabeth Kilbride and Father’s Press Publishing announced they would donate $4 from the sale of Kilbride’s book “Soul of American Warrior” to the Navy SEAL’s Defense Fund.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEE SUMMIT, MO – Kilbride’s donation is aimed at helping to offset the overwhelming legal fees associated with defending three U.S. Navy SEALs - SO2 Matthew McCabe, SO2 Jonathan Keefe and SO1 Julio Huertas - who have been charged with abuse of a terrorist insurgent.
“Matt McCabe and his fellow SEALs have the best possible legal representation. The best comes with a price tag,” Kilbride said firmly. Mike Smitley, owner of Father’s Press Publishing, said, “Having been to Iraq with our warriors, then writing about them, Kilbride knows their sacrifices first-hand, which is why she wanted to do more than just verbally give her support. We intend to help these SEALs by providing them with two strategic weapons to help them fight their battle -- a book to help educate their fellow Americans and some funds to help in their defense.”
“Ahmed Hashim Abed was the terrorist mastermind behind the attack against four American civilians outside of
“It’s going to cost our SEALs a large sum of money to prove their innocence,” said the CEO of Maritime Tactical Security, the managers of the Defense Fund. “While others sell t-shirts, pins and bumper stickers to raise money, Ms. Kilbride’s book is going to help educate while at the same time raising funds to help these brave warriors – it’s a Win-Win situation.”
David Lussier, creator of the Facebook support page, “Support the Navy SEALs who Captured Ahmed Hashim Abed” said, “We are excited that Ms. Kilbride is offering to help this way. She has worked tirelessly on their behalf for several months with maintaining the support page, while raising awareness in the media. With more than 100,000 members on our support page, I know we can help raise a lot of money for the defense fund. Think about it, if all our members bought a book, the fund could have $400,000 in no time.”
When asked how every American can help these SEALs, Kilbride responded with a simple solution. “Type the word ‘SEAL’ into the special instructions box on the order form, when ordering your copy of ‘Soul of American Warrior’ through www.fatherspress.com website. It’s as simple as that. With each order, $4 will be donated to the “Navy SEAL Defense Fund” to help raise funds to offset their legal expenses. I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these brave Navy SEALs because they captured the man who killed four American Contractors. I know first-hand the struggles our warriors endure while in a combat zone. Their mission was both admirable and honorable; they did nothing to dishonor their brotherhood. I’m pleased to be able to offer them a tool to educate their supporters on what it’s like to enter a war zone and survive and at the same time help to raise funds for their defense,” Kilbride responded.

A book with world-wide application that’s controversial, thought-provoking, and one that could change the face of giving, contributing and investing. You will never look at leadership, in business or government, the same way again.
Each time we read about a scandal within government, secular or religious organization, we wonder: How much of this is accurate and how much is exaggerated? Perhaps the only way to know for sure is to ask someone who was part of the organization.
In recent months, an agency of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has made national news. Its president, Bob Reccord, resigned under pressure in April 2006 after The Christian Index brought to light the improper spending of millions of contributor dollars. A trustee investigation confirmed the findings.
But what really happened at the Southern Baptist North American Mission Board? Now there’s a book that documents NAMB’s outrageous spending, and it’s written by the agency’s former marketing director and first woman director. Mary Kinney Branson chronicles the extravagance and misuse of funds within N.A.M.B. not only to illustrate how the consequences of character traits such as self-perceived celebrity and entitlement, arrogance and greed have destroyed the trust and confident of the stakeholders within the Southern Baptist Association, but how these same traits are jeopardizing the trust, effectiveness and the very survival of secular and religious organizations all over the world.
Some would, quite accurately, describe the book as an exposé. But it’s much more. It’s a look at how God intended giving to be, a coming-to-grips with what we’ve allowed it to become, and a plan for putting joy and effectiveness back into giving.
While NAMB is used as an example of extravagance and waste, the agency is only one of many Paul Bunyan-sized organizations that need careful scrutiny. Anyone who gives to a faceless secular and religious organization will find this book a must-read.
As a parade of Swaggarts, Bakkers, Clintons and Lays sprinkle the headlines of our newspapers, more and more people are making a commitment to investigate those who spend, govern and invest on their behalf. This book by Mary Kinney Branson will help them get started on a crusade that could revolutionize the way stakeholders give in organizations all over the world and hopefully remind them of the power they hold over the leaders of these organizations and instill a commitment of accountability within those leaders.

Dr. Bruce Prescott of the MAINSTREAM OKLAHOMA BAPTIST interviewed Mary Branson and said this about SPENDING GOD'S MONEY:
BRANSON'S LAW: Mary Kinney Branson's groundbreaking new book begins and ends with a statement that every Christian should learn about stewardship. She says: "It all boils down to a simple formula: The extent of misuse is directly proportionate to the distance between the giver and the spender." Mary is much too humble to call it this, but I think it should be called Branson's law. She has spent years agonizing and analyzing what goes wrong when Christian institutions become so large and so unaccountable to the people who fund them, that they lose touch with the higher purpose that they were intended to serve. Branson is not talking about geographical distance between the giver and the spender. She's not talking about organizational distance or social distance either. She is talking about the most fundamental distance possible in a religious community---spiritual distance. The spiritual distance is enormous between the humble widows who give their last mites for what they believe is God's work and the arrogant denominational executives and wanna-be mega-church preachers who spend their money to "brand" their names in the Christian marketplace. SPENDING GOD'S MONEY: EXTRAVAGANCE AND MISUSE IN THE NAME OF MINISTRY ought to be in the library of every church and on the bookshelf in every Christian home. Every church and every Christian has a responsibility to make sure that the resources they give to God's work are spent wisely.

Far too infrequently a book appears on the American scene that intrepidly takes to task many of the ideas that have become current in social and political circles. Dr. L. Scott Smith's America Unraveling is certainly one such book.
In this work, Dr. Smith refreshingly defends "public faith," which he argues has been a source of inspiration and solidarity in American history. Yet he does not hesitate to offer a white-hot critique of the current state of American culture. He declares war on the "sacred cows" of diversity and multiculturalism, secularism, liberalism, and relativism, but takes care to chart the way forward.
One may adamantly disagree, chapter by chapter, with the conclusions of this book, yet one cannot convincingly maintain that Dr. Smith's point-of-view is not fresh, provocative, and scholarly.
In these pages, L. Scott Smith, a prophetic voice crying in the wilderness, advances a two-fisted defense of
This book is a “MUST READ” for every American who is troubled by the dismal and frightening cultural climate in which we now live.

A deeply moving story of a writer’s journey that shares a rare inside look into the protected world of our military.
From the humble beginnings of growing up in a town built for returning war veterans in New York, during the Vietnam War; to her first deployment as an embedded writer with the United States Marine Corps in Iraq – this story is an experience that will certainly change your view of America and our military.
It is a powerful, moving story filled with humor, personal growth and one American’s view of what it is to be an American during wartime. Kilbride describes in vivid detail her realizations about life, politics and her fellow American’s upon her return.
Follow her as her view changes and she challenges the “truths” she thought she knew. Rich depictions of life in Washington DC among the movers and shakers are interspersed with stories of what is right and wrong with our country. Her epiphanies continue as she tours Vietnam with veterans of that war, as they go back for the first time.
The journey provides not only a rare, but truthful look into the inner workings of our military, our media and our political system.

“Placing oneself between America and an ideology dedicated to destroy us and our rights, liberties and freedoms provides a perspective and appreciation for what made our nation great. This book clearly outlines the arduous process of going to combat that, unless you have experienced, one cannot comprehend the emotional roller coaster required just to prepare for departure. Once, having experienced the true meaning of "harms way," ones eyes are opened to the importance in your daily life of the documents by our Founding Fathers. The views contained in this book are germane and should be given serious thought by every citizen of our country. Action is required now!”

"Soul of American Warrior" is a must read if you want to understand our young military men and women standing today in harm's way. Ms. Kilbride has done what others have failed to do. Having not only deployed to a combat zone with the troops, she lived with them under the most austere conditions and observed them as they carried out their assigned combat missions. Ms. Kilbride has not written about how our brave warriors are the enemy's worst nightmare. That is a given. She has written about them, as they stood tall as compassionate, caring, passionate Americans dedicated to helping the Iraqi people gain the freedoms we so frequently take for granted. You will be humbled as an American as you discover how great our young service men and women truly are and how they changed one American's life. This book is the "real deal".

Father's Press is proud to announce the brand new release of Pastor/Evangelist Bob Klingenberg's urgently needed book Modern Christianity Corrupted. It is a Martin Luther clear, overdue, and thoroughly Biblical call for a “New Reformation” in the 21st century. It exposes how the multi-headed monster called “Religious Humanism” is corrupting the fundamentals of the Christian Faith across the Christian Church.
Modern Christianity Corrupted reveals how “Man-Centered Theology” (which is a glaring oxymoron) has replaced “God-Centered Theology;” how “Moral Tolerance and Self-Esteem” have replaced “Moral Intolerance and Sin-Conviction;” how “Positive Thinking, Imaging, and Wishing” have replaced “Prayer, Fasting, and Listening To God;” how "Divine Graces" are being retailed and replaced by the sale of "Protestant Indulgences;" how a "False Gospel of Cash and Success" has replaced the "True Gospel of Salvation and Confomity to Christ;" how “Self-Indulgent Selfianity” has replaced “Self-Denying Discipleship;” how “Being gods” has replaced “Being Sons of God;” and how the “Genie God” has replaced the “Sovereign God.” And there is much, much more!
The historic Christian Church's foundations are being undermined, her moral laws discarded, her worship diluted, her doctrines shredded, her Gospel falsified, and her integrity impugned. It is not Christianity, but a dangerous counterfeit that has reached pandemic proportions. Religious Humanism is like a massive avalanche that is sweeping modern churchgoers and media-religion TV viewers downhill and burying them under temporality and carnality, and endangering their spiritual, moral and eternal lives.

“I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen”
“For where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel.” “I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.” “Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.” “Peace if possible, truth at all cost.”
