VACATION WITH CHRISTIAN PURPOSE:
REGISTER FOR CHARLESTON, SC REVOLUTIONARY WAR TOUR 40% off all tickets this Tuesday, January 31st only!
Back in December I introduced you to the the Christian-based War for Independence History Tour scheduled to take place in historic Charleston, South Carolina between Sunday, April 29 and Friday, May 4, 2012.
I said that it was your opportunity to "vacation with Christian purpose."
Well, today I am thrilled to announce that in order to accommodate the budgets of larger families, Tait Zimmerman, the organizer of this unique historical Christian tour, has agreed to slash ticket prices by 40% on Tuesday, January 31st for ONE DAY ONLY!
Whether or not you have a large family or you plan to attend this event by yourself, with a friend, your spouse, or a couple of children, everyone can get the 40% discount.
(Scroll down to the bottom of this email to receive the special one-word promo code that will ONLY be valid on Tuesday, January 31st by 12 midnight in order to take advantage of this amazing 40%-off discount.)
History is "His story." Sadly, most of us learned history through the prism of secular teachers and secular textbooks. As a result, we didn't learn the truth at all.
No matter what time period or what country you might study, it's essential to learn how God and God's people played a role. That's why I want to urge you to seriously consider taking your family on the Christian-based War for Independence History Tour in historic Charleston, South Carolina between Sunday, April 29 and Friday, May 4, 2012.
Mel Gibson portrayed Benjamin Martin, a South Carolinian veteran of the French and Indian War and a widower raising his seven children, who fought for American liberty.
I, Adam McManus, strongly urge that you take the time to investigate this amazing opportunity for you and your family to learn straight from the Christian historians who have researched the primary documents of the time.
Sign up this coming Tuesday, January 31st, and get a whopping 40% discount off the price of admission. Details below in action steps).
Watch this helpful 3-minute video below which summarizes the vision for your vacation with a Christian and historical purpose.
Bill Potter and Marshall Foster are top-shelf Christian historians who will give you a providential perspective on the lesser well known battles waged in the South for American liberty from England.
Tour the battlefield where thousands died to gain the freedoms that we enjoy today. See the sights and absorb the sounds.
Feast in the same hall that saw the unfolding of independence and entertained George Washington. Visit dank cellars where fervent patriots languished. Kayak to the isolated swampy island that was home to the "Swamp Fox" and his wily band.
These are experiences that you will share with your children's children in years to come.
What you'll learn
- A Biblical Perspective on History
- The Reformation/Christian Heritage of Our Nation
- God's Providential Hand in History
- Why the War for Independence?
- The Importance of the War in the South
- The Key Players in the Southern Theater
- The Impact that Dedicated Minorities can have on History
- The Character Qualities of Great Leaders and the Faults of Bad Leaders
- What Do These Lessons Mean to Us Today?

WHAT HAPPENED AT OBAMA-NO-SHOW TRIAL
Georgia citizens today delivered sworn testimony to a court that Barack Obama is slam-dunk disqualified from having his name on the 2012 presidential ballot in the state, because his father never was a U.S. citizen, which prevents him from qualifying as a "natural-born citizen" as the U.S. Constitution requires for a president.
The historic hearing was the first time that a court has accepted arguments on the merits of the controversy over Obama's status. His critics say he never met the constitutional requirements to occupy the Oval Office, and the states and Congress failed in their obligations to make sure only a qualified president is inaugurated. His supporters, meanwhile, argue he won the 2008 election and therefore was "vetted" by America.

GINGRICH ON DEFENSE, ROMNEY ON OFFENSE IN FINAL FLORIDA DEBATE
The most surprising development of the final presidential debate in Florida was that Newt Gingrich played more defense than offense. That was particularly surprising because Mitt Romney did the opposite, as expected.
Politico put together a list of seven important takeaways from the event. Here they are.
1) This was the "Trading Places" debate
Romney jumped on Gingrich from the get go, and the former House speaker was never quite able to regain the dominance he has shown in previous tussles. The former Massachusetts governor scored points earlier when he blasted Gingrich for a radio ad that already has been pulled calling Romney "anti-immigrant." Romney deemed the accusation "repulsive" and demanded an apology. He didn't get one, of course, but he did get momentum.
2) Whither Gingrich?

Now his campaign is claiming that rival Mitt Romney's campaign stacked the audience at Thursday's debate with its supporters to shift the energy toward Romney, the Huffington Post reported. "They definitely packed the room," Kevin Kellems, a Gingrich adviser, told the Post. But that's not the case, according to both the Florida Republican Party and the Romney campaign.

Mitt Romney was nominated by Republicans.
'Well, look, either you'll have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case I think it will make a big difference which of the two comes in,' he said.

ROMNEY ATTACKED TED KENNEDY OVER 'BLIND TRUST'
In last night's CNN debate, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney dodged accusations of having invested in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying they were invested through a blind trust.
However, in a 1994 Senate debate with then-Sen. Ted Kennedy, Romney attacked Kennedy's mention of his own blind trust, calling it, "not so blind."

Romney called Kennedy's blind trust "a ruse" and suggested that it's not difficult to figure out where his money ended up, according to National Journal. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Romney's foremost challenger in the Republican primaries, called Romney out for investing in Fannie and Freddie, thereby fueling the housing crisis.

Join Thousands in San Antonio
for Christian Film Event of the Year
 One of the top highlights of my year is attending the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival with my bride Amy.  Adam and Amy McManusIf you've never brought your family to enjoy some of the 50 God-honoring films of every genre on 4 screens during this 3-day event right in our own backyard, then register today.
It will feature more than 50 films to choose from including such films as Courageous and Seven Days in Utopia. The price is remarkably competitive and worth every dime! Plus, you'll meet wonderful, like-minded Christian families from across the nation.
The Film Festival will be held Thursday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 25th at the Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Plus, enjoy dozens of other exciting new Christian dramas, documentaries, comedies, and short films. The vision Henry Van Til correctly observed that "culture is religion externalized." By this, he meant that the culture of a people reflects their true religious priorities. The music, paintings, and film of a nation (not to mention the thousands of daily cultural expressions - how we live, eat, work, and entertain ourselves) express our priorities, our values, and our true faith. 
Doug Phillips articulates the vision. The Bible teaches that all men have faith, in that they either worship the creature or they worship the Creator, but no man is free from religious commitment. When a people worship sensuality or embrace dark visions of reality, it is always evidenced in the arts. There is no neutrality! On the other hand, when a nation fears and loves the God of Holy Scripture, their religious commitment is evidenced in the music they play, the way they dress, and their vision of family life.
The fact is that America is discontent with Hollywood's negative, monopolistic stranglehold on film and culture. The humanistic religious worldview of Hollywood elites created a rift in American culture and profoundly damaged the American family. We intend to respond, not by cursing the darkness, but by lighting candles. Building a community of independent Christian filmmakers is one such candle. Learn more detail about the Christian Film Festival and Academy.

UTAH GIRL CREDITED WITH ALERTING OFFICIALS OVER ALLEGED SCHOOL BOMBING PLOT
A 16-year-old Utah student who alerted a school administrator about a suspicious text message foiled plans by two schoolmates who apparently were plotting to set off a bomb during a school assembly and run away in a stolen airplane, police said.
Roy High School sophomore Bailey Gerhardt told The Salt Lake Tribune she received the text from a friend, one of the suspects, and told the administrator, which led to the arrest of the two teens. Roy is about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City.

"Despite so many deceitful efforts to distract from the real issue involved, it remains quite simple - is the Constitution of the United States the Supreme Law of the Land, or not? Can it be amended, in violation of its terms, by a simple majority vote or by the dereliction of public officials? Do its words still bind the officers and actions of all levels of government in the United States, or not? ..

"What is true in general is more obviously and decisively true of the government of the United States.

Max Milien, a Secret Service spokesman, said on Friday that the agency was looking into the picture taken of seven youths, four of them toting guns, that turned up on the Facebook page of Sergeant Pat Shearer of the Peoria, Arizona, police department.

ATTENTION SAN ANTONIO AREA HUNTERS:
CAN YOU VOLUNTEER ON A CHRISTIAN YOUTH HUNT?
Over the course of my 20-year career as a radio talk show host, I've met and interviewed a lot of fascinating people. Many of them are household names which you would recognize instantly.
Tom Snyder, the 46-year-old owner of the regional Colonial Life Insurance office here in Garden Ridge, has got to be one of the most intriguing people I've met in a long time. He's not famous. He's not a political leader. And he hasn't even written a book.
But he's spearheading a unique Christian ministry in our own backyard whose vision is as big as the Texas sky.
Tom Snyder, founder of Trinity Oaks, teaches a young boy on a Youth Hunt.
If you would like to volunteer to be a guide, call 210.447.351.
Now that he has become a successful businessman, Tom, a member of River City Community Church here in San Antonio, has a passion to give back to the community - especially to the children in demonstrable, life-changing ways.
That's why he founded Trinity Oaks, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. At the heart of the ministry are the youth hunts for 10 to 16-year-olds. Throughout their time, the young people experience firearms safety instruction, target shooting and actual big game hunting.
In the process, Tom wants to give the tweens and teens access to the great outdoors, to build their character, and to teach them the importance of responsibility in our narcissistic culture.
10 to 16-year-old boys, like the ones pictured above on a Trinity Oaks Youth Hunt develop self-confidence, an appreciation of God's creation and connect with the volunteer hunting guides.
"Our goal with youth is three-fold. First, we want to teach kids that hunting is not just about 'killing animals', but also about building relationships and enjoying God's majestic outdoors. Second, we want to promote our country's hunting heritage to future generations," said Tom Snyder.
"Third and most importantly, we want to show children of all ages that they have value and let them know there are people who care about them, people willing to listen to them and mentor them. We have found you can really reach a child and make a difference in his life just by sitting next to a campfire and listening to what he has to say."
During the 2010/2011 hunting season alone, Tom personally acted as the lead field guide for every one of the 20 youth hunts attended by 85 young people, 53 of whom were first-time hunters. Typically, each hunt is comprised of 3-5 youngsters along with their fathers and some volunteer guides. Each youth is assigned to an adult.
Their goal for the upcoming 2011/2012 hunting season is to have 30 youth hunts attended by 100 kids and 75 first-time children hunters.
Amazingly, Trinity Oaks covers every single expense including the cost of transportation, the lease of the land, the hunting license fees as well as the food, lodging and the mounting of the child's wildgame trophy.
All the meat is processed for free by volunteers, ground up and frozen into family packs. It's then distributed to needy families and homeless shelters throughout San Antonio as well as orphanages in Mexico.
ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:
1. If you would like to suggest a boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 16 to
participate in a future Trinity Oaks youth hunt, please call 210.447.0351, and tell them you are a McManus subscriber, or email.
2. If you would like to volunteer to become a guide or firearms trainer for some of the
youth hunts, please call 210.447.0351 and tell them you are a McManus subscriber or e-mail.
3. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to Trinity Oaks to ensure that the
Youth Hunts and Wounded Warrior Hunts continue, donate on-line here.
The cost of sending one underprivileged kid on a Christian Youth Hunt is $1,200. And now, thanks to the generosity of one sponsor, anything that you give up to $100,000 will be doubled.
So, if you give $150 today, your donation will be doubled to $300 and fund one-quarter of the $1,200 cost for one kid to participate in this life-changing ministry.
