In *The Creative Act: A Way of Being*, Rick Rubin distills the wisdom he has gained from a lifetime of working with artists across various genres. The book is not just about music production but about the broader creative process and how it applies to everyone's life. Rubin emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with a state of innocence, being aware of the world, and tapping into what he calls 'Source'—an infinite and constant flow of ideas and inspiration. The book is structured around 78 areas of thought, providing practical wisdom, philosophical insights, and encouragement for anyone seeking to enhance their creative expression.
In 'Mere Christendom', Douglas Wilson presents a vision for a society where Christianity plays a central role in governance, arguing that secularism is unsustainable and that Christian principles are essential for maintaining true liberty. He advocates for a 'mere Christendom' where nations acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ, without necessarily establishing a state church. Wilson's work emphasizes the importance of divine authority in public life to sustain a culture of freedom.
It's time for a big announcement: I and my 15-year-old twin sons River and Terran have been up to a very special, top-secret, behind-the-scenes project that we are now officially unveiling. This one is guaranteed to get your fart rate - er - heart rate up, so keep reading if you want to know our deepest, stinkiest secrets that we're about to unleash on the world - and how you can help!
This entire story starts with an unexpected turn when a passport mishap unexpectedly stranded our entire Greenfield family back home in the USA - instead of the tropical paradise of Costa Rica.

The Official Fart Of War Launch
And now please clench your cheeks because here comes the exciting part, the launch of our very first card game: The Fart Of War!
The Fart Of War - a simple, easy-to-learn, two-deck card game that makes you chuckle, snort wine out your nose, and choke on your fried chicken - is designed to bring people together, to have fun, and to create memorable experiences. The game is not just about playing; it's about interacting, laughing, and enjoying the time spent together. It's about sitting on the living room floor together and belly-laughing over the fact that you just defeated a powerful airplane fart with a sweet baby fart equipped with taco seasoning and broccoli casserole and that your opponent now has to fart from scratch.
This game will resonate with you, your family, your friends, and your kids and definitely add a dash of humor to any of your gatherings, dinners, parties, and vacations. Of course, the launch of this game isn't just about the game: it's also about the entire Fart of War experience! When you become a fart - er, part - of the action, from branded bathroom spray to special edition whoopee cushions and boxers, we've got some seriously fun add-ons lined up for you.
By visiting the brand-spankin' new, official Fart Of War website and getting onto the e-mail list, you'll be first in line for the first batch of this shiny new game. And if that's not enough, when you get on the e-mail list, you'll also find out how you can become a test player, test group, or test family for this game and all future games we produce in the future.
