Excerpt from Mainspring: The Grassroots Story of Human Progress, What Is Means to You and Me and How Not to Prevent It The modern world is an intricate network of living human energies linking all persons in cooperative effort and in one common fate. The Turk has bread because the Ameri can smokes cigarettes. New Yorkers eat pineapple ripened in Hawan because the Burmese mine tin. We drink coffee at breakfast because Brazilians need our iron, machinery and wheat. And Japanese babies grow strong and healthy when American women buy silk lingerie. This is the kind of world that men and women naturally want to live in. And it is the kind of world they begin to create when they are free to use their individual energies and free to cooperate among themselves voluntarily. Thus the brotherhood of man is not an ideal of selfless ness which human beings are too sinful to achieve. It is stern reality. All persons are bound together in the one impera tive desire to survive on this earth. DO unto others as you would have them do unto you is not only a sound moral precept it is the hardheaded advice of practical self-interest. Whoever injures another, Injures himself because he decreases the opportunity for gains that come through cooperation and exchange.

Five Foundations of Human Development (FFHD) is a philosophical, religious, and practical discourse on human development based on the following five foundations: Spiritual, Moral, Social, Intellectual, and Physical. The authors proffer that human beings possess the capacity to rise to a higher state of civilization when we allow Spiritual Intelligence to underpin human intelligence as our capable guide. The indomitable spirit within human beings that brought civilization out of the Dark Ages and into an Age of Enlightenment demonstrates our capacity to transcend moral hope and optimism for a better world with peaceful coexistence among individuals, families, and nations. This book will help inform, enlighten, and empower individuals and leaders in such fields as engineering, science, religion, politics, the military, and other great institutions to engender solutions to the myriad of unsolved problems of past centuries, problems of the present, and emerging problems of the future. Problems, such as wars, genocide, greed, and the exploitation of human beings begin within our destructive spiritual nature and manifest in the physical nature. Therefore, solutions also lie in the spiritual realm as a counterbalance to the natural realm of human existence. FFHD is a blueprint for human survival based on adherence to physical laws and spiritual laws that transcend a belief in an omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (everywhere) and omniscient (all knowing) being. It will awaken the conscience to comprehend the lifethreatening issues that face humankind. The solutions, therefore, cannot merely be left only to the educated elite, the military forces, and those in high public and private office. The global significance of this book is that it informs a more communal view of our world. It is the only perspective that will allow us to enter the global village prepared for the racial, social, cultural, environmental, and economic challenges that lie ahead.

Five Foundations of Human Development (FFHD) "Is our Materially Driven Life a Threat to the 'Spiritual Purpose' of our Existence?" The book is a philosophical, religious and practical discourse on Five Foundations of Human Development. It offers compelling philosophical, analytical and empirical arguments for a better world, which is inherent in the worship of God, service to humanity, obedience to governing authorities and management of God's creation. The authors examine problems that we encounter daily, and they postulate solutions from Spiritual, moral, social, intellectual and physical perspectives. They essentially explore some of our past and present approaches to solutions to human problems. They propose new "revolutionary" approaches to human development that call the reader's attention to a new "enlightenment," new "hope" and new "optimism," informed by a new "Body of knowledge." The authors strive to explain the Christian message of God as delivered and taught by Jesus Christ, however it is not a work that is exclusively for Christians. Their discourse recognizes the comparable message and desire for the unity of humanity by other world religions. They present their discourse not as experts or giving expert advice, but simply as individuals with a desire to add another dimension of thought and enquiry to the vast storehouse of human knowledge. The primary purpose of their discourse is to demonstrate the positive benefits to humanity when Biblical (religious) perspectives underpin every human endeavor. These endeavors include (but are not limited to) family relations, national and international relations, engineering, science and technology, economics, history, education and health. These endeavors dictate human progress. Gibbs and Grey contend that humanity can realize the greater ideals of leadership and authority in the world through the application of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the great prophets. The authors appeal to leaders of the 21st century - educational, political, scientific, and business to seek the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God in using our vast global "natural" wealth, science, technology and human capital to educe relevant and applicable strategies for the betterment of "all" humanity.

Modern families face challenges unprecedented in human history. The time, attention and vigilance required of parents is exhausting and consuming family life. Parents are required to balance complex schedules, be technology aware, social media informed, constantly monitor children’s screen time and media communication, cope with academic problems, shield them from the dangers of immorality, find inventive ways to overcome their boredom, organize extracurricular activities, and handle everything within financially constrained circumstances that increasingly require both to be working. Little wonder that anxiety is on the rise and parents are increasingly fearing for their children’s future. The authors in this book attempt to address parents’ concerns and equip them with the confidence and tools necessary to work towards understanding and addressing the real needs of both themselves and their children, to nurture the child’s character, self-confidence, life skills, moral boundaries, spiritual development and much more. There is no quick-fix. Myths are debunked, and practical tips offered throughout which can be implemented immediately, with fun activities outlined at the end of each chapter with the aim of improving parent-child relationships through bonding, love, patience, openness, respect and communication.

2006 Questions and Philosophical Thoughts A Chronological Listing of Verses taken from: FFHD 2006 Questions and Philosophical Thoughts - A Chronological Listing of Verses taken from the authors' main text: Five Foundations of Human Development (FFHD). It is their way of presenting their primary text to readers in a new and innovative ("Reading by Verses") format. This simple to comprehend "Body of Knowledge," unique, analytical, compelling and philosophical helps the reader to better understand that human beings are not helpless bystanders watching the "past" unfold in the "present." The authors postulate that we are capable of making "new history," enabled by God's "Spiritual Intelligence" when we "seek" it to illuminate our path and guide us. Despite the human genius and our scientific progress of the past century, nations still struggle to find peaceful co-existence. Without God's guidance, our capacity to exercise patience, tolerance and self-control will diminish in light of increasing global competition for the world's finite resources. Our 21st century visionary leaders have ushered us into the "global village" - unprepared. Our vision of a "global village" could become another fleeting illusion in our eternal quest to govern ourselves and engender hope for "all" humanity. The authors urge the reader not to dismiss this "frame of reference" as "mere idealism." Gibbs and Grey predicate their hope for a better world on "new understandings" of the great inspirational, religious enlightenment and philosophical learning discerned from the teachings of Jesus Christ and the great prophets. The authors take the reader on an unforgettable journey of discovery of a "new hope" for humanity, with "new knowledge" to illuminate our path and guide us. Their work is nonetheless, only a minor contribution to the vast "Body of Knowledge" penned by notable philosophical giants of yesteryear and the modern age. The authors stand on the shoulders (of these giants) as they PAN (take a 'panoramic view' of) the 21st century and the new millennium with "new hope" and "optimism" for the future of our world.

This book explores the field of history through a multi-paradigmatic approach. For this purpose, it begins with a discussion of four most diverse worldviews or paradigms (namely, functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist), before moving on to consider four aspects of the field of history (historiography, grand narrative, progress, and time) from the viewpoints of the four most diverse worldviews or paradigms. Next, the book looks at three historical events (the French Revolution, the American Civil War, and the Iranian Revolution) from the viewpoints of the four most diverse worldviews or paradigms. It concludes by recommending paradigm diversity, as an understanding of different paradigms leads to a more comprehensive and a more balanced understanding of the multi-faceted nature of the subject matter.
