Laureen Simper - Stacie Thorton

We each began our study of liberty principles separately, yet we both began with Dr. Skousen’s comprehensive “5000 Year Leap”. As we became acquainted and began a study group together, we went on to study Skousen’s “Healing of America” series. These materials are the most thorough exploration of God’s hand in the founding of America - and long before - that we have encountered. The accelerated learning techniques employed in the “Healing of America” workbooks - filling in blanks on worksheets while reading the material, as a teacher reads it aloud - is extremely effective in better retention of the material.

As we continued our study with “The Making of America”, “The Cleansing of America”, and returned to our study of “5000 Year Leap”, we felt strongly impressed to begin teaching the liberty principles ourselves. We were convinced that education of true principles, while not a quick fix, is the only truly effective way to restore America to the success formula of good government which the Founders envisioned.

For the last five years, we have taught in cottage meetings, firesides, and other civic meetings, and have developed an extended 6-week class that goes into more depth to teach the correct principles of good government. Time and again, we have people tell us that they vote differently, and look at issues differently, when they finally understood the correct principles.
