What is a Personal Coach?

A sports coach will make you run more laps than you feel like. A sports coach pushes an athlete to achieve optimum performance, provides support when the athlete is exhausted, and teaches the athlete to execute plays that the competition does not anticipate. To maximize performance, the coach will make sure the athlete gets in shape before the season begins, knows the rules of the game and the team playbook, and practices. Someone has said, "Stretching is necessary to have a successful practice. Not stretching can be dangerous and unhealthy." A coach makes the athlete stretch. A sports coach will tell it like it is.

The role of the Business Coach is to coach business owners to improve their business through guidance, support and encouragement. They help the owners of small and medium sized businesses with their sales, marketing, management, team building and so much more. Just like a sporting coach, your Business Coach will make you focus on the game.*

A Bible Coach makes you read the Bible more than you feel like. The Christian Scriptures teach that life is like a race that we need to train for, run hard, and win. A Bible Coach pushes you in the race set before you (Hebrews 12:1; 2 Timothy 4:7), helping you apply what you read, building personal habits, overcoming defects of character that keep you from winning the race and being awarded an imperishable crown (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).

The journey could be rough. We're going to follow in the footsteps of Christ. Along the way you may be put to death by the sociopathic soldiers of a tyrannical government. But we'll eventually reach the New Jerusalem, the "City of God."

Your coach is on the same journey. We may split up for a time, and then be rejoined when our paths cross again. Or we may not see each other until we reach The City on different paths. But together we can discern the next step for you, and your coach will inspire and empower you to take that next step. Then you'll see more. Your coach empowers you, but will not allow you to become dependent on the coach.

For generations, George Washington was the most revered man in America. His portrait could be seen in every public building, in every school, and in many bedrooms of America's boys. He was a hero and an icon.

 

Today's Americans know very little about the man.

• They know that his face is on the one-dollar bill ...
        (but they don't know that the government has
        destroyed over 90% of the value of the dollar)

• They've been told he "owned slaves."
        (He inherited slaves, and worked to free them.
        Washington would say that the ordinary American in
         2011 is a slave --  most Americans prefer a form of
         pampered slavery rather than freedom and
         personal responsibility. Proof here.)

• That's pretty much all they can tell you about George Washington.

Americans 100 years ago would be flabbergasted that that's about all Americans in 2011 know about George Washington, "the Father of his Country."

But today's Americans, despite their ignorance, would have very dogmatic opinions about George Washington if he were alive today. He would probably be arrested by the Department of Homeland Security.

Today is a good day to resolve this question in your mind:

• Should you admire Washington and try to emulate his virtues?

• Or should you despise him and his values, and pay more attention to today's heroes -- Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton?

 If you suspect that Americans 200 years ago Americans were a better judge of good character and had higher values than Americans today, then you should enroll in ChristopherColumbusCoaching.

Short Biography of Washington

Praises for Washington by his contemporaries

"His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good, and a great man." -- Thomas Jefferson

How would integrity, courage, morality, and wisdom transform your life:

• your marriage

• your business

• your children

• your relationship with God

Do people with integrity, courage, morality, and wisdom succeed better than people who are cheats, wimps, immoral, and foolish?

Of course they do.

In general, that's how the universe works. According to George Washington and America's Founding Fathers, the universe is governed by the "Invisible Hand" of "Divine Providence." Job was an exception. At least at first. And you may live (temporarily) under a tyrannical government that punishes extraordinary people and rewards cheats, wimps, immoral, and foolish people instead. But in the long run, you are better off being extraordinary. Your country is better off if you resist tyranny and become extraordinary.

If you're like me, he would say you're a lousy Christian and a stinking rotten American.

Ouch!

Why would he say that?

Because he led troops into battle to fight taxes like a three-pence per pound tax on tea, and you do nothing over tax on a gallon of gas that's TEN TIMES HIGHER. The total tax burden in the colonies was less than 2% of colonial income, but today's government takes over half of everything you earn. Like those who signed the Declaration of Independence, George Washington was among those who risked "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor," but today's government makes it illegal for teachers in public schools to teach students that the Declaration of Independence is really true. (Sure, they can teach that guys in powdered wigs used to believe it to be true, but teachers cannot teach that the Declaration of Independence really is objectively true, endorse the contents, or promote it.)

What is a "Personal Coach?"

If you're an athlete and you want to win a race, you get yourself a coach. Your coach will encourage you, nag you, maybe yell at you, in order to drag out your maximum performance so you can win the race and take home the Gold Medal.

George Washington said if you want to be a great human being, you need to be a great American and -- more important -- a great Christian. The Christian Scriptures teach that life is like a race that we need to train for, run hard, and win.

So if you want to follow George Washington's advice, you need a coach.

Wouldn't it be great to have George Washington as your coach! He coached the Continental Army to victory over the mighty British Empire. He coached the Constitutional Convention to agreement on a new Constitution. And after he served as America's first President, he became known as "the Father of his Country."

Keep reading this page and you learn the two things you need to become an extraordinary American, an Extraordinary Christian, and an extraordinary human being. You need to learn the basic skills of winning life's race, and you need encouragement from a coach. This is where you get both.

You are a victim of Educational Malpractice.

Compared to colonial Americans, you are an ignorant barbarian. Sure, you know how to use your Blackberry. But bring a 9-year-old into the 21st century from 1776, and the kid would be able to figure out how to use your computer and remote control as fast as you did. But Colonial Americans could read the Federalist Papers and debate the issues intelligently. You can't. They had the moral courage to fight against tyranny. You don't.

There were three things that America's Founding Fathers believed schools should teach, and you were deprived of all three -- by law. These three things are prescribed in America's "Organic Law," and even today can still be found in many state constitutions, but you probably don't even know what "organic law" means.

What were the three things that every school in America was supposed to teach?

What are the three things that made America the most prosperous and admired nation in history?

What are the three things that have been taken out of government-run schools in the 20th century, and as a result have crippled Americans like you and me, leaving America a bankrupt and despised nation?

George Washington's Advice

On May 2, 1778, when the Continental Army had emerged from its infamous winter at Valley Forge, Commander-in-Chief George Washington issued the following:

The commander-in-chief directs that divine service be performed every Sunday at eleven o'clock in those brigades [in] which there are chaplains; those which have none [are] to attend the places of worship nearest to them. It is expected that officers of all ranks will by their attendance set an example to their men. While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian. The signal instances of providential goodness which we have experienced, and which have now almost crowned our labors with complete success, demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the Supreme Author of all good.—

The Writings of George Washington, JC Fitzpatrick, ed., Wash. DC: US Gov't Printing Office, 1932, Vol. XI:342-343, General Orders of 5/2/1778

You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do every thing they can to assist you in this wise intention.

The Writings of George Washington, JC Fitzpatrick, ed., Wash. DC: US Gov't Printing Office, 1932, Vol 15, p.55.

George Washington has been criticized for owning slaves -- even though he inherited them, and even though it was illegal for him to free them (when Virginia tried passing laws against slavery, the King of Britain overruled them). But being a slave in a Christian nation is better than being "free" in an atheistic nation.

In the Soviet Union, workers on the collective farms were allowed a small plot of land to grow what they wanted, and sell for whatever they could get. These small plots of capitalism saved the entire nation from starvation. "Two percent of privately owned Soviet farmland was producing fully 30 percent of the country’s grain."

Today's Secular America is like the atheistic Soviet Union. The government claims ownership of more than 2/3 of everything you earn. The majority of industry is regulated by the State. Yet the small amount of freedom left to us provides us with iPods, big-screen TV, microwaves, and info-tainment. We think we are wealthy. But we are not free.

In America, the percentage of privately-owned property -- truly and securely owned -- is not much different from the percentage in the Soviet Union. George Washington's ideal was for every American to live peacefully under his own "Vine & Fig Tree." This was the original "American Dream." Today's "American Dream" is a fixed-rate mortgage. The bank actually owns your home. This is a form of slavery, as anyone who signed the Constitution would tell you. Even if you pay off your mortgage, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the government can take your home and give it to someone else who might use your property differently and pay more taxes to the government than you do.

   Consider the challenge of Samuel Adams.

Americans today love "wealth" (if "gangsta-rap cell-phone ring-tones" can be considered "wealth") better than liberty and personal responsibility. Because Americans have been denied the three most important features of colonial schools in America, they are ignorant and illiterate -- like slaves.

ChristopherColumbusCoaching will transform you into

  •  an extraordinary American

  •  an extraordinary Christian

  •  an extraordinary Human Being

Samuel Adams, speaking at the State House in Philadelphia, “to a very numerous audience” on August 1, 1776:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquillity of servitude more than
the animating contest of freedom
—go from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains sit lightly upon you, and
may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!

If you are an ordinary American, you are a pampered slave. You are wealthy beyond the imagination of anyone alive in 1776. But you would rather keep the remote control of your TV than fight for liberty and personal responsibility.

In a nutshell, public schools 200 years ago taught Americans to follow George Washington's advice: to be a good Christian.

The human beings that settled the New World

were the same species of humans that remained in Europe.

But America became extraordinary,
while Europe stagnated under monarchy and socialism.

The difference was ideas.

Ideas have consequences.

These same ideas can have consequences in your life.

In 1776, America had become the pinnacle of Christian Civilization, also called "Western Civilization." Personally, Americans were hard-working and charitable. Politically, Americans perceived that the initiation of force by government was inconsistent with Christianity. America was a land of "Liberty Under God," a "City upon a Hill," a light to the world.

The Internet gives an adult living in 2011 the capability of re-creating a colonial education in just one year. If you can muster the moral courage to give up one hour of the mainstream media and replace it with the ChristopherColumbusCoaching Program, you can begin acting as your own "City upon a Hill" and influence your culture -- from your neighborhood to our globe.

You Need to Read the Five Most Important Works in the History of America and Western Civilization

There are three main components of the Extraordinary Christian-Coaching Program. The first is reading the five most important works in the history of America and Western Civilization. Most Americans in 1776 knew these ideas backwards and forwards, and certainly a lot better than most Americans today. You may be in the top 1% of Americans in terms of knowing these key ideas, and yet be in the bottom 50% of Americans in 1776.

The first book, of course -- the most significant book in the history of America and Western Civilization -- is the Bible. During the next 365 days, you will read the Bible from cover to cover in a way you never have before. In 1837, the Supreme Court of Delaware said this:

Long before Lord Hale declared that Christianity was a part of the laws of England, the Court of Kings Bench, 34 Eliz. in Ratcliff's case, 3 Coke Rep. 40, b. had gone so far as to declare that "in almost all cases, the common law was grounded on the law of God, which it was said was causa causans," and the court cited the 27th chapter of Numbers, to show that their judgment on a common law principle in regard to the law of inheritance, was founded on God's revelation of that law to Moses.
State v. Chandler, 2 Harr. 553 at 561 (1837)

Day by day, your eyes will be opened as you see how the Bible is the foundation of liberty and civilization as we know it.
