You’ve Got Worms
By Shoshanna Easling
I have been trying to write this article for a while, but I would get so grossed
out with my research that I put it off. Here it is—the PG-rated version! Did
you know it is estimated that more than 85 percent of the world’s population
have some kind of parasite living inside their bodies?
Y
You can get parasites from
people, animals, mosquitoes, ticks, the
air you breathe, food, and your drinking water. You can get the disgusting
little creatures almost anywhere, at
any time. They need you to survive
and multiply. Are you yucked out yet?
So what is a parasite? It is an
organism that lives on or in another
organism (a person, an animal, etc.)
from which it obtains nutrients to
live, causing harm in the process.
Parasites have been linked to
almost every illness. However, just
because you have parasites does not
mean that you are sick. Many people
have parasites and never know.
When your body has a healthy,
strong immune system, it can deal
with most parasites. However, if you
have poor circulation, your pH is
off-balance, your organs and tissues
lack oxygen, or your immune system
crashes, it creates favorable conditions for the invasion and multiplication of parasites. Parasites migrate to
the areas of the body where it is not
functioning optimally. Often people
get a disease, crashing their immune
system, thus making their body a
perfect home for parasites. This
makes the disease worse.
There are over 100 different types
of parasitic worms that can live in
the human body. They range from
microscopic in size to many feet long.
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
3
Female worms can release 3,000 to
200,000 eggs per day depending on
their type. Parasites’ waste makes your
body very toxic. People with parasites can become malnourished and
weak because parasites secrete toxins
and steal vital mineral nutrients and
amino acids needed for digestion and
a healthy body. People often end up
with issues such as viruses, fungal and
bacterial infections, anemia, bloating,
fatigue or hunger, allergies, asthma,
gas, digestive disorders, nervousness,
skin rashes, foggy brains, aches and
pains, chemical and metal poisoning,
and much more.
Most doctors are not trained to
recognize the symptoms of parasitic
infections—and even when they do,
the medicine they give you to kill the
worms is very toxic to you.
But there is good news! God
gave us three herbs that kill over one
hundred different parasites: green
Black Walnut hull (Black Walnut
hull that is still green when harvested
and processed,) fresh ground clove
powder, and wormwood. These three
herbs must be used together to kill the
worms and eggs all at once.
4
Parasitic infections can cause physical trauma by burrowing into the intestines, the
circulatory system, the liver, the
lungs­­—anywhere in the body. Worms
can drill holes in your organs as they
destroy cells faster than cells can be
regenerated. A parasite cleanse is
required if your body is overburdened
with other toxins. Do you have parasites?
You may have parasites if you
have stomach pain, indigestion, ulcers,
constipation, Parkinson’s disease, joint
or muscle pain, food or environmental
allergies, dermatitis, itching, psoriasis,
eczema, hives, swelling and rashes,
acne, anemia, fatigue or drowsiness after meals, or frequent infections in the
lungs, sinuses, vagina, bladder or any
mucous membrane. Signs that a child
may be infected with parasites include
blisters on the inside of the lower lip,
frequent wiping of the nose, restlessness and grinding of the teeth at night,
twitching eyelids, dark circles under
the eyes, hyperactivity, bed wetting,
headaches, sensitivity to light, and
rectal or nasal bleeding.
How do you kill your parasites?
There are many studies with various conclusions as to the herbs you
should take and the conditions of the
treatment. So you need to do your own
research and decide what you want to
take, but this is what I do:
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
God gave us three herbs that kill over one hundred different
parasites: green Black Walnut hull, fresh ground clove powder,
and wormwood.
Wormwood capsules (size 00)
First day: I take 2 capsules 20 minutes before
I eat, every meal.
Green Black Walnut Tincture
First day: I take 1 drop of black walnut tincture four times in a beverage
every 4 hours through the day on an
empty stomach. Second day: I take 2 drops of black
walnut tincture four times in a beverage every 4 hours through the day on
an empty stomach. Third day: I take 3 drops of black
walnut tincture four times in a beverage every 4 hours through the day on
an empty stomach. I keep increasing the amount until I
have taken 14 drops four times a day.
I do this for 14 days and then take 5
days off, then 14 days on, and continue for three months. If fresh walnut hulls are not in season and I need to do a cleanse, I take
Green Black Walnut Hull powder
capsules. If you have them fresh it is
always best, but when in need, take
what you can get. Green Black Walnut capsules
(size 00)
First day: I take 1 capsule twice a day
on an empty stomach.
Second day: I take 2 capsules twice a
day on an empty stomach.
Third day: I take 2 capsules three
times a day on an empty stomach.
Then I continue 2 capsules three times
a day on an empty stomach for the
remainder of three months.
Second day: I take 4
capsules 20 minutes
before I eat. Third day: I take 6 capsules 20
minutes before I eat.
Fourth day: I take 8 capsules 20 minutes before I eat.
Fifth day: I take 10 capsules 20 minutes before I eat. Sixth day: I take 12 capsules 20 minutes before I eat.
Seventh day: I take 14 capsules 20
minutes before I eat.
I do this 14 days on, then 5 days off,
then 14 days on, then I just do 14 capsules twice a week for the remainder
of three months.
Cloves capsules (size 00)
First day: I take 1 capsule 3 times a
day.
Second day: I take 2 capsules 3 times
a day, 20 minutes before I eat.
Third day: I take 3 capsules 3 times a
day, 20 minutes before I eat.
I do this 14 days on, then 5 days
off, then 14 days on, then just do 3
capsules once a day for the remainder
of three months.
It can be difficult to get a child to
take an herbal concoction that tastes
bad, and most of them do. Wormwood

Use this handy chart for adult doses
expect your kids to take it by itself. I like to mix half maple syrup
and half herb. That helps with the
taste. You can also give them a reward when they take it. I wrapped
little things up and gave them to
my son for the first ten times of
taking herbal concoctions. This
made him look at them as “good
things”. Even though it tastes bad,
and he no longer gets presents for
taking them, he still takes them
with a smile! For children 40 to
65 pounds, I do one-fourth the
amount of an adult dose, and only
do 14 days on, 7 day off, then 14
days on, and that is all. For children 65 to 90 pounds,
I do one-third the amount of an
adult dose, and only do 14 days on,
7 days off, then 14 days, and then
I cease. I cannot tell you what you
should do regarding your children.
Any herb can be harmful in some
circumstances so I am not prescribing a cure or treatment. I am not a
doctor. I am just giving you some
ideas for your own research. Make
sure you are sufficiently knowledgeable and/or consult an expert
before giving or taking herbs that
can be toxic.
Some other things used to
expel worms include: Garlic,
Pumpkin Seeds, Cayenne Pepper,
Goldenseal, Sage, Thyme, Fennel,
Male Fern, Cranberry Powder,
Grapefruit Seed Extract, Apple
Kernel, Olive Leaf Extract, Apple
Seeds, Red Clover Blossoms, Vitamin C, Wheat Grass Juice, Grapes
and Grape Juice, Echinacea, Metabolic Enzymes.

Preparing for His
Obsession
By Shalom Brand
Preparing oneself to be a help meet is a primary concern of every young
girl hoping to become a wife and mother. She wants to be ready to be the best
wife ever. I have never heard a young girl say, “When I get married, I am going
to nag my husband until he hates me.”
N
No, we all believe we will be the
best when that day finally comes.
Then we are married and have one
child after another, maybe financial
troubles, or a husband that is too busy
working to appreciate all our sacrifices. It is easy to forget our former
commitment to be a good help meet
(properly fitted helper). We are now
8
stuck in the tired doldrums of nagging
because we are unhappy with our lot
in life. We forget that God created us
to honor and respect our husbands,
no matter what. We come up with
excuses like, “If he would just do this
for me or lead his family the way God
wants him to, then I would be happy.”
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
Preparing to be a wife never ends.
We must continue to learn and grow
into what God has called us to be. We
cannot forget to continue to prepare
ourselves. I have seen many young
girls get married with such joy and excitement, only to have their fantasy fall
away a few short months later. Wives
are shocked and become unhappy
when they realize that he is no longer
obsessed with just them as he was during the courting days and early marriage. Their husbands are now obsessesed with video games, hunting, sports,
some hobby, or just work. But as all of
you veteran wives have learned, if you
stand by your man, your life with him
can become very rewarding.
We have received so many great
responses about how you have learned
to respond to your husband’s obsessions. I, as a young wife, love to read
what you have learned over the years
so that I can be more prepared when
things come up in my own marriage.
My husband is quite obsessed with a
great many things. Thankfully, I have
always been right there with him to
help him with each new adventure. I
have to say, it has kept me PREPARING! Here are a few tips from you.
Dear NGJ
The obsession article inquired,
“What’s a lady to do?” It made me
think of Proverbs 31. Certainly there
is a list of quality counter-obsessions
a woman could undertake and still be
serving and available when her man
comes home with rabbits to clean. In
vs. 13, weaving, crocheting, knitting,
quilting; vs. 14, meal preparation,
trying new recipes, and investigating foreign cuisine; vs. 16, perhaps a
new gardening endeavor, a vineyard,
an orchard, an herb garden to keep
your family healthy; vs. 18, a craft
or trade that contributes to the family’s finances or food pantry; vs. 19,
spinning, raising fiber, goats, or sheep;
vs. 20, community service, church
ministry, visiting the widows or those
in need; vs. 21, making clothes; vs.
22, keeping herself and the home
in order; vs. 24, making and selling
garments, crafts, etc.; vs. 26, reading God’s word, developing a Bible
study (or writing a book!) and taking
time to share it with younger women,
taking an online course or researching
an area of interest through books or
websites; vs. 27, managing all aspects
of the home that your husband has
entrusted to you, paying bills, keeping the books, following a budget (or
developing one!); vs.28, developing
relationships with your children by
investing time in their interests.
Dear NGJ
When I read the article entitled
“Obsession” in the latest No Greater
Joy magazine, I had to laugh. I have
been married for two years exactly as
of this week, and I found out pretty
quickly once we were married my
husband was going to have more
obsessions than just me. It’s helpful to
know that other men are the same way.
I’m going to start by saying that I did
not, and sometimes still do not, have
the best attitude about his “hobbies.”
One of my husband’s greatest qualities is his ability to completely pour
himself into anything he does. I have
never seen him do a half-hearted job
at anything and I admire that. It can be
frustrating, however, when I want him
to spend time with me and he’s too
busy doing his best! The three things I
try to do to not get frustrated with his
obsessions are:
1. Learn to do it with him and learn to
love it.
2. Watch him do it and help him if I
can.
3. If I can’t do it with him or watch
him do it, I find something productive
to do while he’s gone.

Greasy Peanut Butter
O
One cold winter day
a very long time ago, when
I was just three years old, I was
sitting on the floor playing with
my baby doll. Her name was
Emily; she had blue eyes and
brown hair, just like me. I loved her
very much; I was her mama and she
was my baby.
All of a sudden, I heard
a great, big, scary noise
that sounded like a
grrrrowwlll.
“Oh, no,” I said to my mama,
“What is that noise?”
My mom was sweeping the floor.
She stopped sweeping and stood very
still so she could listen. “I do not
hear anything,” she said.
Running to her side, I told her,
“Listen, Mama, listen.”
Then she began to laugh and
said, “It’s all right, Sweetheart. It is
just your tummy making noise; it is
telling you that you are hungry. How
would you like a spoon full of peanut
butter? Here comes your big brother.
He can get it for you.” Mama told my
big brother to get me a spoon full of
peanut butter.
By Shalom Brand
Big brother didn’t want to stop
what he was doing, so he said, “I
don’t want to; I’m too busy.”
Mama didn’t take that kind of
talk, so she said to him, “Do it right
now, young man.”
Of course, he did what she told
him to do. “Okay, come on, kid.” I
followed him to the kitchen. I was
too short to see over the counter, so
I stood by his side while he got the
peanut butter for me. He was looking
very sneaky when he said, “Here you
go, Sis, eat up.”
I said, “Thank you,” and took
a big bite. “Yuck! Yuck! Wahhh!” I
began to cry. Mom came running.
“What did you do?” she demanded.
My brother was trying not to
laugh as I stood there crying with
bacon grease instead of peanut butter
dripping from my chin. Taking the
spoon of grease, my mama handed it
to him and said, “Eat up, son. All of
it.” He was a big boy, but he knew he
had to eat it. He made the most awful
faces as he gagged and choked and
swallowed. I felt sorry for him.
Mama set me on the counter in
order to clean my face, and then she
got me a real spoon full of peanut
butter. Yum, Yum.
My brother never did that again.
The End. d

ESP Training
Explain, Show, Practice!
By Kim Doebler
We’ve had a lot of fun learning
self-control by practicing sitting still
without moving for specific amounts
of time. Start with 15 seconds. Set
each child on their own blanket and
instruct them to look straight ahead
and to not move. The first time you
can count the 15 seconds out
loud so they can hear their
progress. Each time you
practice increase the
time until they can
sit for four minutes
without moving.
Once four minutes
is reached then add
different temptations to try to
get them to
turn
and look or move. Some examples
are: stand behind the children and
crinkle a candy wrapper or pretend to
greet someone at the door. Have fun
with it. It is amazing for a child to
learn they do not have to look every
time they hear something interesting
or they don’t have to burst into laughter when someone acts silly in front
of them. These practiced exercises
will come back to help your child
when they want to turn around in
church or in a class and someone
is acting like a goof. Knowing
they possess the ability to
practice self-control will
benefit them in such
times of temptation. b

Thank you for writing a book that teaches truth and warning
about this uncomfortable subject. So many of us are unsure how to
talk to our children about child predators. This book really made things
clear to my child in a non-scary way. It is fun to read with the rhyme,
and she wants me to read it to her every day. Thank you for such a
great teaching tool!! - J. E.
WOW!! This book is GREAT!!! I did not know how common
child predators are. This book opened my eyes to protecting my children more than ever. My kids loved it and responded with questions.
They will all be ready to YELL & TELL if the situation ever calls for
it. Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!! - D.F.
My family has been fans of the Pearls and their literature for
many years. Always, they produce books addressing critical issues
for families and children. Sexual predators are very, very real, and not
enough parents these days are taking the time to educate their children,
or even know HOW to educate their children in dealing with this problem. In Yell & Tell, Debi addresses this issue in a way that parents and
children can easily use and move forward enabling more children to
take action against predators instead of just keeping quiet.
Thanks for another great one, Debi! - A. F.
Amen! My parents were the naive ones and I was taken advantage of by a cousin and a grandfather. It is critical to heed to the
advice given in this book. - P.Z.
I bought this for my grandchildren. I was molested by an
uncle at a very young age. - A. H.

By Michael Pearl
Dear Pearls,
“Is it normal for wives of Visionary men to face homelessness? My husband has not worked at all for 2 years. Our car died and there is no money to
fix it. Our savings are almost gone. We are very behind on our rent, and my
husband has made it clear that he does not want me trying to get any kind of
government assistance. Nor does he want me asking him any more work-related questions of any kind. He wants to work from home and will not consider
doing any kind of other work to make ends meet. I am really trying to keep my
mouth shut but am struggling as of late. We will be facing eviction soon. My
parents live very close by and are aware that my husband is either sleeping or
on the computer. My mom doesn’t say anything but often offers us food, which
is well received. I make a small amount of money working from home, but it is
not enough to keep us afloat.
Should I just quietly allow this to happen to us? I wouldn’t worry about it
so much if our children were not so young. They are 4, 2, and 1. My husband is
not a Christian, but I love him and think he is a good man, but he is making me
crazy! If you have any advice on what I can do, please let me know.”

Dear Sister,
Your problem is part of a growing
epidemic that can’t be blamed on the
economy. God tells us in I Timothy
5:8, “But if any provide not for his
own, and specially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith,
and is worse than an infidel.”
In Micah 4:4 God reminds us,
“But they shall sit every man under
his vine and under his fig tree…”
Clearly God meant for every
man to work and provide for his
household. So you and God are
agreed, but that doesn’t mean your
husband is going to jump up and get
a job just because you tell him what
God has said. So, what is a wife
supposed to do? Basically nothing—
nothing in word and nothing in deed.
Just stay cheerful and loving. Your
situation is better than most, for you
have parents who, while not pushy,
are willing to help. First, thank
God for that
wonderful
mercy.
The Apostle Paul dealt with
this issue in the early church. He
reminded the Thessalonica church,
“For even when we were with you,
this we commanded you, that if any
would not work, neither should he
eat. For we hear that there are some
which walk among you disorderly,
working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus
The best thing a woman can
do is allow the situation to
come to a head as quickly
as possible.
Christ, that with quietness they work,
and eat their own bread” (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12). It is certainly not
your responsibility to keep him from
eating, but neither is it your duty to
bail him out of his laziness. Tell your
mom how much you appreciate her
generous offerings of food, but ask
her to give foods that only the little
ones will eat. Make the food plain
and basic. Slip over once a day with
the children but without your husband and eat heartily. When there is
no money available, allow your own
kitchen cabinets to become bare.
The best thing a woman can do is
allow the situation to come to a head
as quickly as possible. Don’t be an
enabler by seeking further income.
As long as he can keep the family
together in any dwelling and provide food, continue to cheerfully
follow his lead.
But what if a worst case
scenario develops and you
are evicted and find yourself
homeless with no place to go
but the streets or a homeless
shelter? That puts your children
in danger.

Team Player
By Shalom Brand
I
Sure it takes longer at the beginning,
but eventually it pays off.
It is quite obvious that my fourteen-month-old son knows he is part
of this family—not just as the baby,
but as a member of the team. They
say that a family that prays and plays
together stays together, but I think
it is even truer if they pray, play and
WORK together. Playing together
is good—it is fun and a child can be
entertained by it—but it will never
give them the feeling of being part
of a team. Last week someone asked
my husband and me, “How do you
get your three year-old (our younger
16
daughter) to want to be a part of what
you are doing?” Our answer was
automatic, “They need to be a part
of everything you are doing from the
time they are born.” If you wait until
they are three years old you will have
to create extra tasks they can do with
you that are both work and fun to get
them interested. Once they get the
hang of it, they will want to be a part
of your everyday life. If I were in the
kitchen and my girls were not both
there getting in the way and fighting
to see which one gets to help Mom,

then swaggers about, smiling from
ear to ear because he is so proud of
himself. Whether I tell him thank
you or not, he knows he is great.
Just like a man! It is so funny. We
are just raising little moms and dads.
I always keep that in mind as I train

about what kind of parents they will
become and what can I do now to
make them even better. i

I would think they were sick or had

tell my husband the only bad thing
about teaching your children to help
is that you cannot get anything done.
But I am convinced that the most important thing in life is not the cleanliness and order of the house, nor the
efficiency with which I complete my
chores, but to raise my children to be

autobiography about a country vet. At one point the
author referenced a Bible story. Todd turned to our

it was, and she did. I began to hoot and holler my
congrats, as Amy is a right brain learner and finds
recall difficult. She spoke up, “I probably wouldn’t
know much of the Bible if it weren’t for my Good and Evil book.”

Grandmother
Strikes Again
By Michael Pearl and unnamed granny
It had been many years since grandmother had trained her own children, and
she was out of practice. She described herself as “having grown soft.”
I
It is still a wonder! Absolutely
amazing! Almost unbelievable! I first
wrote about it in my book To Train
Up A Child, which has now sold over
650,000 copies in English and many
tens of thousands in foreign languages,
but I am still amazed at the beauty and
effectiveness of spanking as part of
a program of effective child training.
What a joy to possess the ability to instantly gain compliance and instill discipline in our children. However, the
most mysterious, almost miraculous,
fruit of the properly applied spanking
is its ability to heal the child’s soul and
create a sweetness of spirit.
18
It is understandable that adults
who have dark memories of being
“whipped” without love and “beaten”
without mercy for trying the patience
of their parents will not believe it is
possible to spank in love and achieve
sweet fruit. Likewise, parents who
“don’t believe in corporal punishment” (neither do I) but often become
frustrated and angry, pushed to the
brink of “striking” their children, are
horrified at their own out-of-control
feelings. They know that if they were
to yield to their anger and use their
hand or an instrument to strike their
children, it would be an act of violence
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
and abuse. They are absolutely correct
in their personal assessment, given
their emotional state. And herein is the
cause of so much misunderstanding
and anti-spanking sentiment.
It is one thing to know yourself
and to know that you are provoked
to a spirit of abuse and so respond
by choosing not to spank your child,
which is the right decision for you.
But it is another matter altogether to
project your out-of-control anger on
all parents, assuming that everyone
is like you, teetering on abuse. I wish
you could spend just one day with a
well balanced, emotionally mature
family with eight children, all under
12 years of age, which practices Biblical child training. You may consider
yourself “anti-spanking”, but you
would go away weeping for your
loss, longing for such beauty and joy
in your own family. You would say,
“What a fool I have been.”
Do you think my claim too fantastic to believe? I can give you our own
family’s testimony. Would it help if I
shared the testimony of a million of
our readers who experience the same
joy and peace in their families? What if
my children, now grown, with children
of their own, were to testify as to the
fruit of their upbringing, as they have
in writing? Add to that the testimony
of two million young adults who were
trained up in the way they should go
by loving parents who did not spare
the rod and did not spoil the child’s
creativity, confidence, joy, stability, independence, or love and loyalty to the
family? Can you believe that there may
be a world bigger than your own, one
where anger does not rule and peace
and love is the order of the day?
I know the argument, “But what
about all those hypocritical religious
bigots that use the Bible as an excuse
to beat their children and intimidate
them into compliance, leaving them
emotionally scarred and prone to pass
on the abuse?” I agree that this is a
big problem for a few. The argument
continues, “So shouldn’t we outlaw
all spanking so as to prevent abuse?”
Further, Christian ministers who
promote the Biblical principles of
corporal chastisement are blamed for
the misuse of it.
Think rationally for a moment. If
all ministers right now were to begin
teaching against all forms of corporal
chastisement or punishment and all
states and governments of the world
were to pass laws against it, would
No godly Christian man beats
his children.
No emotionally stable atheist
beats his children.
parental abuse cease? Is the tendency
for some parents to abuse their children found in misapplying principles
they have been taught, or in human
anger and aggression? Everybody in
the Western world teaches against a
man hitting his wife, but it doesn’t
stop wife beaters. Only in the Muslim world does wife beating begin as
a doctrine. The Christian world has
condemned it for 2,000 years, but it
still occurs at about the same rate as
beating children. No godly Christian
man beats his children. No emotionally stable atheist beats his children.
Child abuse does not begin as a
doctrine or principle of training; it begins in the heart of an out-of-control
human being—a fault of the human
condition since Adam chose to live
without God.
If one searches the internet or
watches the news closely for an
entire year, one can find a half dozen
examples of a man or woman justifying their abusiveness on grounds of
Biblical principles. Likewise, Americans who commit hate crimes or acts
of terrorism, like the Oklahoma City
bombing, will justify their murder on
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
19
grounds of patriotism. We who are
truly patriotic are not fooled by their
excuse, nor does it deter us from our
more enlightened patriotism. Why
then would we, who love our children
and have found Biblical chastisement
a sound child training tool, be deterred
by the rare examples of those twisted
souls who are abusive by nature?
... She made up her mind to
do what she did not feel like
doing—obey God and love
the child with a spanking.
Since I can’t arrange for my
sincere critics (I’m being charitable)
to spend a day “imbedded” with a
happy family of ten who practices
corporal chastisement, I will give you
a recent example that occurred within
my circle of friends, a grandmother’s
experience with her three-year-old
granddaughter. Apparently the parents
had been slipping in their training, for
their little one had become self-willed
and expressed an attitude of resistance
to authority. Even when everything
was going her way and no one was
trying to tell her what to do, she
looked unhappy and was quick to take
offense at the other children. But the
grandmother said the most disturbing
thing was that she pulled away from
overtures at fellowship. “Unhappy
and moody” was the grandmother’s
summary of the child with whom she
would spend the day.
It had been many years since
grandmother had trained her own
children, and she was out of practice.
She described herself as “having
grown soft.” But after her children
were grown, she had read To Train Up
A Child and realized it was exactly the
way she had trained her children.
It is a fact that grandparents who
do not spend hours every day with
their grandchildren tend to be soft on
the discipline. But then it is not their
20
responsibility, and they want what
little time they have with the kids to
be positive. That’s what makes grandparents spoilers.
After a couple hours of futilely
trying to cheer up the child, grandmother began to remember the
“miracle” of the rod. So she made up
her mind to do what she did not feel
like doing—obey God and love the
child with a spanking. She tells how
she calmly explained to her granddaughter how she had a bad attitude
and then took a wooden spoon from
the kitchen, slowly applying it to her
backside. The licks were not hard
and not hasty. At first the little girl
kicked and screamed in protest, but
old grandmother was too wise to
be intimidated. As she spanked she
explained to the little one that this is
how she had trained her mother to
be sweet and cheerful, and that she
would grow up to be smart and obedient. She kept up the slow spanking
and the admonition until the anger
and resistance melted and turned into
a beautiful spirit of surrender.
I understand that if you have never
seen this, you have no idea what I am
talking about. It doesn’t seem reasonable that any kind of a spanking would
produce peace and love in a child, but
it is the miracle of corporal chastisement properly administered.
The little one rose from the altar
of chastisement and hugged her
grandmother for the first time that
day. She smiled sweetly and for the
rest of the day was entirely cooperative and compliant. Where she had
been unhappy griping, she was now
as cheerful as a puppy. She stopped
whining and complaining about the
other kids. Grandmother said that
the child’s whole world went from
cloudy and stormy to sunshine and
flowers.
Grandma went on to express her
rediscovered wonder at the power of
Biblical chastisement, for after two
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
weeks granddaughter still maintained
a close bond with her grandmother,
always cheerful and ready to give a
big hug.
I wrote the book on it, so to
speak, but it has been well over
fifteen years since I applied the rod
to a stubborn backside. I think that if
I started another family (don’t even
think about it) I would have to go
back and read my books and listen to
my videos to put this old softy back
in the position of acting responsibly
toward the little ones. I commend this
grandmother for having the—whatever it is old grandmothers have—to lay
down her sentiment and bring peace
to a little child.
Finally, to our critics, why must
you persist in stereotyping Christians
who continue to practice the Biblical
principles passed down to us from our
fathers and their fathers back to the
beginning of humanity? Our fruit far
surpasses anything you can imagine. It
is the sanity and emotional balance of
our children that is the hope of tomor-
row. Our children never need Ritalin.
We don’t need Prozac. Our families
grow up to make significant contributions to society. They are never
drug addicts and they don’t need to
take welfare, for our well disciplined
children are the ones who will start
businesses and contribute to charities.
We are not timid of your criticism, and we will not hide in the dark.
We proudly proclaim that we are the
parents of the best kids in the whole
world, thanks to sound child training
principles we gleaned from the Bible
and reason. When you attack our
cake, we just bake another layer and
display it all the more proudly.
I pray that you will be reasonable
and join the “good guys,” for we will
not bend, bow, or burn.
If you are new to these concepts
and want to investigate further, purchase our books To Train Up A Child
and In Defense of Biblical Chastisement or go to www.nogreaterjoy.org

subjects. a

Letters from the Prison mission field
Dear People at NGJ,
I am currently incarcerated in a Texas prison. I wonder if you will send me
one of those books called Good and Evil? When I saw it in our library I thought
it was awesome. I gave my life to God June 19, 2010. I have been in prison 11
years. I was a gang member. I know God has forgiven me, he loves me, and
there is more to life than the way I was. I have peace. I will leave this place in
March 2011 a different person. Thank you.
- Rojas
Thank you for Good and Evil. I did not learn to read until I was 19.
I still don’t write too good, but I could read Good and Evil. I think it is cool
people like you will help people like me out. I appreciate it very much.
- Darrell
I want to apologize for my lack of patience. I had sent you another request
for Good and Evil. I got it just last week. The book and your magazine is an
enormous hit here behind bars. Guys who would never read a book will read
Good and Evil. “I was in prison and you came to me.” Thank you.
- Dana Alexander
God bless this ministry. My name is Nibardo. I am in Yakima County correctional. I read Good and Evil. Now I am studying God’s Word. May God’s
grace be on you.
- Sincerely, Nibardo
Dear sisters and brethren at NGJ,
We rejoiced for the donation of three cases of Good and Evil; two in English and one in Spanish. I took the cases to the highest aggression cell house. I
walked two galleries of 50 cells giving out the books. Tomorrow I will return to
finish giving the books to the men in the remaining galleries. This simple presentation is a wonderful evangelistic tool that opens doors for me to return with
Bibles and study courses. We are thankful to be a light behind closed doors.

The Gaudets
Good and Evil Translations
Update: According to the latest fig-
ures, 366 million Indians speak Hindi
as their mother tongue. Many more
speak it as a second language. The
foundation for Hindi is a language
called Hindustani. Hindustani is also
the foundation for Urdu, spoken in
both India and Pakistan, where it is
the national language. Many speakers
of both of these languages and variations communicate well with one another even though there are variations
in the dialect. More than 483 million
represent these languages alone!
Now that the Hindi edition of
Good and Evil is completed and
going to press, it is being used as a
resource for the translation of other
sister languages in these countries.
The Hindi and Pakistani Urdu editions are being consulted in the
translation of Indian Urdu. Many
other languages of India, Pakistan,
Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh will be
jump-started as a result of the work
just completed.
Taking a regional approach to
these translations has proven the
most effective way. Oftentimes,
translation of a minority language
is facilitated by first translating and
publishing the trade language. Hindi
is a case in point.
Pray for the team here in Thailand
as we continue in this tedious and
time consuming work of coordinating
scores of translations and their formatting, printing, and distribution. g

Making Sense of It
By Michael Pearl
Lately I have come to understand that progressives are motivated by a conviction of their own righteousness. They attack Christianity and the Constitution
of the United States because they stand in the way of their universal utopia.
They want to save us from ourselves and our delusions.
T
The average American knows our
country is being driven to extinction,
and its demise is not far away. We
cannot make sense of the decisions
politicians make. “Stupid” comes to
mind, but stupid is without pattern
or purpose.
We see men and women who are
highly intelligent and very well informed in political sciences, economics, business, and in history making
decisions that are contrary to the best
interests of the country and of the
poor they claim to represent. And then
there is the anti-Christian bias in the
media, the courts, Hollywood, and in
the pubic schools and the universities.
Why? What is so threatening about
the Bible and those who believe it?
The Constitution is held in as
much contempt as the Bible. What
is so menacing about a document
that guarantees individual liberty of
conscience and action, free speech,
free association, and ownership and
management of one’s property? The
way the politicians are legislating and
the courts are ruling, you would think
faith and the founding Fathers are the
most sinister evils to ever stand in the
way of positive genetic mutations.
“Woe unto them that call evil
good, and good evil; That put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
26
That put bitter for sweet, and sweet
for bitter”! (Isaiah 5:20)
For many years I observed the
political theatre and wondered at
the motivation of the American left.
Lately I have come to understand
that progressives are motivated by
a conviction of their own righteousness. They attack Christianity and
the Constitution of the United States
because they stand in the way of their
universal utopia. They want to save
us from ourselves and our delusions.
They think they are more enlightened
than the rest of us and believe their
understanding requires them to take
charge of the helm, even if they have
to kill the captain and throw some of
the crew overboard.
Human salvation is thought to be
in the collective. They seek the redemption and restitution of mankind
in a way that assures our survival as a
race. It is the Tower of Babel all over
again. The kingdom builders get into
politics, education, entertainment,
rewriting history, and especially into
the news media because that is where
people are molded to a worldview
that will cause them to be willing
participants, or at least passive supporters, in the New World Order.
The utopitarians are trying to
establish what God has already
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936
promised to institute, a kingdom of
peace and happiness in a paradise
where all share in the bounty of a
renewed earth. They too want that
kingdom, but since there is no god to
determine man’s destiny, it is up to
them to institute this kingdom. They
abort babies to prevent increased
population from placing further stress
on an already overtaxed planet. They
must purge society of any religion
that looks to the sweet by and by, for
it prevents men from getting serious about the here and now. They are
anti-American because the United
States supports a divided world where
American exceptionalism prevents
us from entering into commune with
the have-nots of the third world. They
must save every butterfly and lizard
nearing extinction because they don’t
have a God that will create more.
If they had ten commandments
they would read something like this:
1. Thou shalt have no gods above thy
fellow man.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
absolutes that cannot be ignored for
the sake of the common good.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of
any religion in vain, for they are all
created equal.
4. Observe the holy days of all religions with equal fervor.
5. Honor the state as your father and
nature as your mother, that your days
may be long upon mother earth.
6. Thou shalt not kill, even in self
defense.
7. Thou shalt not call consensual sex
adultery or sodomy.
8. Thou shalt not steal from the poor
by accumulating to thyself wealth
more than thy neighbor.
9. Thou shalt not bear witness against
thy government.
10. Thou shalt not covet the power
that belongs to the elite.
The progressive/socialist has
an anthropological world view that
parallels theological doctrine. They
believe in the fall of man and in depravity. Man, in oneness with mother
nature, living in blissful harmony in
a communal paradise of unbounded

oneself and acquiescing to

outward standard. He is evil in that he
is selfish and judgmental and therefore
destructive to the collective good.
They believe in temptation. Man
is tempted by the lure of independent
action. He is tempted to judge his own
actions and the actions of others on
grounds of a supposed absolute good
existing outside of human nature and
independent of the material world.

doctrine, inflicting crippling guilt.
They believe in salvation. Their
new birth is forgiving oneself and

acquiescing to one’s passions as normal, rejecting guilt as a foreign, dark
force intruding upon their otherwise
liberated souls.
They believe heaven and hell
are here and now. Heaven is the new
world order—the socialist’s New
Jerusalem, the utopia, where there
will be no more war, or pollution, or
bigotry, or hunger.
Hell is fossil fuels belching out
deadly gasses upon fragile Mother Nature, pollution caused by capitalism.
False doctrine is unbending religion
that segments people. Demons are
rich business owners and judgmental
religious bigots.
Liberal Socialists/Utopitarians are
crusaders for salvation. To understand
these kingdom builders you must recognize that they are motivated by what
they consider righteousness. They
think the masses, especially the political right, are evil or, at the very least,
out of touch and need to be pushed
into the right path. You are self-destructive and they want to commit you
for your own good, thus saving mother
earth, the only eternal life the human
race will ever know. Surely the survival of this planet is more important
than the luxury of liberty. They know
that if you are not with them you are
against them, and they are willing to
sacrifice the few to save the many.
To make sense of the present hour:
Why are our politicians, supported
by the news media and Hollywood,
seemingly trying to break our country economically? It is obvious that
they are deliberately legislating so as
to bring about high energy and food
prices. With the certain increase in
population and the limited resources
on this planet, they want to create a
worldwide commune where population is kept in check and resources are
equally shared.
28
But they also know that this “sharing” will never come about through
legislation. It will take a revolution
where shortage is the enemy, not politicians. They need crises, so they are
creating the biggest crisis this world
has ever known. Why? Because the
Don’t look to politicians to
save you. Jesus will bring in the
kingdom, and he will be the
king of kings and the lord of
lords, bringing in everlasting
righteousness.
creation of a new world order necessitates destroying the old one. They
know we must fall and suffer before
we will be willing to rise in a world
with less liberty and more expensive
goods and services. No one will accept
legislation that results in a 75 percent
cut in wages and a great reduction in
his consumption of goods and services
unless he first loses everything and
lives in abject poverty for a while; then
he will be grateful to a government
that puts him in a three hour food line
and allows him to live in a two room
apartment that has electricity for five
hours every day. During times of stress
and deprivation he will gladly receive a
mark upon his hand or his forehead by
which he can buy food for his family.
My final word:
Don’t look to politicians to save
you. Jesus will bring in the kingdom,
and he will be the King of kings and
the lord of lords, bringing in everlasting righteousness. Until then, pray
for those in authority so we can live a
quiet and peaceful life until God tires
of men trying to take the kingdom by
force. That is his job and he will do it
soon enough. l

Lazy Husbands, Hungry Kids and Hopeful Wives
Continued from page 15
There is an example in Scripture
that is often overlooked. In 1 Samuel
25 we read of a woman named Abigail who was married to a man who
offended David by refusing to feed
his hungry men. When Abigail heard
what her husband had done, she
knew their lives were in danger. So,
without her husband’s knowledge,
she directed the servants to prepare
food for the 600 men and hastily
deliver it. David received the food
and readily acknowledged that she
had saved him from shedding blood.
When Abigail’s husband suddenly
died of divine/natural causes, David
took her to be his wife.
If your husband’s actions put
your children in real danger—not
just discomfort or inconvenience—
you should protect the children by
respectfully disobeying your husband. To broaden the subject for our
readers, the same would be true if a
drunken husband commanded a wife
and children to ride in the car while
he drove. Respectfully disobey.
Likewise, if a husband commands a
wife to leave her children in the care
of questionable baby sitters, follow
your maternal instincts.
If your present circumstances
deteriorate to the point of homelessness, I suggest that you quietly arrange ahead of time for your parents
to invite you and the children, but not
your husband, to come and live with
them. Let him live in a homeless
shelter until he can provide a home
for you and the girls. If, he insists
that you live with him on the streets,
tell him your children come first and
you will take them to your parents,
dreaming of the day when he has
a place for the family to be united.
Perhaps you could have your parents
invite him for dinner and a conjugal
visit once a week but not to stay the
night. Sometimes a man needs to
lose his comfort zone (computer and
TV) to appreciate his responsibility
to maintain that zone. Most women
make the mistake of jumping in and
providing, and then they become bitter toward their lazy husbands.
I know I am going to get a lot of
flak for this. If you have a better answer, I would like to hear it. We will
publish worthy answers that vary
from my own. I am glad God made
me a husband and not a wife. Every
woman deserves to be loved and
cherished, and every child deserves
to be protected and nurtured. Some
husbands deserve to
be whipped,
but that,
dear lady
is God’s
job, not
yours. g

Archaic Words and

“This is a book every serious Bible
student must own. It is one of
those rare books that is a category

just definitions. This is an enlightening
defense of the the translation itself.”
The Hidden History Of
The English Scriptures
I have read more than 100 books on
the subject of Bible manuscripts

there was nothing else to say

tongues have derived their Bibles.
There is nothing else like it in print
except a 1200 page book by the same
author—In Awe of they Word. We have
acquired 1000 copies of The Hidden
History of the English Scriptures and
are making them available to you.
When these are gone, they’re gone.

potential to make a tremendous impact
in that spiritually dark part of the
world. Michael had already committed
the funds for the first printing of 5,000
copies when we received an inquiry
about the status of the Hindi translation
and what it would cost to get it to
print. The inquirer then notified us
that they were sending the $14,000 to
pay for the first printing. Praise God
for the obedience and faithfulness of
His people to support the spreading
of the Gospel through the translation
and distribution of Good and Evil into
Hindi and dozens of other languages!
In the last couple of months NGJ
supporters have also contributed
contact information for translators and
proofreaders in Dutch, Swahili, and
Zande. These contacts can be very
beneficial in starting a new translation,
restarting a translation that has lost its
translator or completing a translation
in need of the final proofing. If you or
someone you know is bilingual and
willing to help with the Good and Evil
Translation Project please send the
contact information to NGJ at:
[email protected].
NGJ can only reach the goal of
translating Good and Evil into 100 languages with your prayers and support.
Please see the order form for donation to
the Good and Evil project.
