About Liberty's Hope
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children
in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children
what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Liberty's Hope is a resource directory for education resources in a wide variety of subjects. The resources are organized into four categories: heart, might, mind, and strength. These categories were selected to support character development that follows the Biblical model. In Luke 2:52 we read: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Children can learn to follow a Christian pattern of development by following this example.
- Increase in wisdom - Intellectual development. (Mind)
- Increase in stature - Physical health and development (Strength)
- In favor with God - Spiritual growth and learning (Heart)
- In favor with man - Social development (Might)
- Heart: The heart represents more than transitory emotions of feelings. The heart, in a descriptive sense, reflects the stable state of the personality, our current point of development relative to our ultimate potential. The heart represents man's nucleus. It is the character or disposition -- the governing attitude and feeling--of a person.
- Mind: The mind refers to man's system of attracting, organizing, and implementing knowledge or information for use by the heart. The mind is a means and not an end in the configuration of human nature. The mind is a capacity that belongs to the person. It is subject to the will of the heart.
- Might: Might extends beyond the heart and mind. Might includes all resources that an individual legitimately commands or controls. Might is an extension of the person, such as one's reputation and all other forces or materials that are within a person's rightful dominion and available for use by the individual. Personal wealth, property, physical objects, talents and skills are an example of his or her might.
- Strength: Strength refers to the physical properties associated with an individual's body that are instruments of power in a bodily sense. Strength includes generative powers in the form of muscle, bone, and tissue, regenerative powers in the form of bodily systems such as the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, neural, and glandular, including reproductive powers - the physical capacity and power to procreate.
