This is the first book in the Thrust of Light series. It discusses the potential for Man to experience a glorious future and live in a New Age of love, peace, freedom, joy, abundance, and enlightenment. However, there are many obstacles within society that are still preventing such a magnificent dream from becoming a reality. The key to changing the world is to provide true education to Man, and this includes the transformation of parenting. This book discusses the current state of education around the world and why it is ineffective in properly educating the youth. Many of the countless ways that our precious children are being attacked by their surrounding environments are also exposed so that people can begin making changes immediately. In this Transition Phase between what was and what will be, adults are encouraged to lead the way by working to improve themselves first in order to then become better parents, teachers, and role models for the youth. It is strongly recommended that people observe what is taking place within society and realize the importance of working together to build schools of excellence in every nation. These incredible schools will provide the type of education that mankind was intended to have so that people can become who they were truly meant to BE. This book is the platform for the rest of the series, which will share many more specific ideas for helping to bring about The Reformation of Civilization Through a Revolution in Education !
