Lesley grew up on a farm milking cows in the boonies of New York. At the age of seventeen, she was an exchange student to Lima, Peru. Following in her mother's footsteps, a generation later, she graduated from Vassar Brothers Hospital School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse. Her career of forty-four years included Emergency Room nursing. She adopted a baby girl from Colombia, and five years later had a baby boy! Lesley was a very "protesting Protestant" until God opened her eyes and heart to the Roman Catholic Church. Her conversion story was a mini miracle, and the night she entered the Catholic Church, God "spoke to her heart" about what he wanted her to do with her life. That is the building of a retreat center on the "top lot" for God's good priests on the frontlines. Lesley entered the Order of Secular Franciscans in 1999. An order in the Catholic Church for lay people who follow St. Francis of Assisi's teachings. "I hope and pray this book touches your heart and helps you to ask God what HE wants you to do with your life. The rest is yet to come. Thank you for your prayers." Lesley Mason Vaitekunas, OFS

The number of homeschooling households has exploded in recent years as parents have increasingly recognized their children's education is too important to outsource. Contrary to what you've heard, it doesn't take a village to raise tomorrow's leaders-it takes a proactive, involved, and steadfast family. Children flourish best within the structure of the family, which is why families have long been recognized as the building blocks of strong societies and why tyrants throughout history have sought to destroy the family unit. Although parents have commonly allowed the government to educate their children without a second thought, more now question this default position. And with the resources and support networks available today, the barriers to educating your own children have never been lower. In contrast to the ancient Greeks who took children out of the home to teach them in the academy, Hebrew culture viewed education as the responsibility of parents. Parents were tasked with instilling values and passing on an ethical worldview to their children, allowing them to gain wisdom, not just knowledge; to learn to do what is right, not merely what's expedient; to judge truth rather than simply obey authority. This book is about what the author has learned on his journey in home education. It offers his perspective as an engineer and a father and contains a special message for fathers who, like him, have embraced the calling of becoming the full-time educators of their children. It shows any parent, dad or mom, how to provide their children with an exceptional education. Whatever your situation may be, whether you're a mom or dad, whether the primary teacher or a supportive spouse, the approach to education and lessons shared in this book will help you establish your priorities, avoid pitfalls, think through challenges, solve problems, and create a unique home education program in which your child will flourish!

How does one go from an atheist to a drug dealer, to a Rabbi? Growing up in New York City, Ira was an angry, disillusioned Orthodox Jew living with the hurt and shame of his parents' divorce. As a young adult, he wanted nothing to do with God or religion. Trying to find himself and his path in life, Ira pushed back on his father's beliefs and dropped out of college in Wisconsin and headed to Colorado where he earned a living in the "pharmaceutical business." As lost as he was in life, little did he know, his future was already shaped by the seeds of faith and prayer sown by his ancestors long before he was ever born. Then one day, this New York Jew met and married, Gloria, a Southern Baptist with a drinking problem, and then everything changed. Everything. It was rocky at first as anyone would imagine, but when Gloria had a spiritual transformation, Ira was forced to confront his belief system and everything he thought he knew about faith. An Atheist, Drug Dealer, and a Rabbi is a delightful multi-generational memoir that takes you on the highs and lows (literally) of Ira's rollercoaster journey from the hopeless world of addiction to the radiant light of redemption. It's a story of rebirth and transformation of a man who found his calling amid the darkest of circumstances. With elements of suspense, spiritual awakening, and a powerful narrative, this book is a testament to the boundless possibilities of faith, hope, and love, passed down from generation to generation.
