Exploring Economics
Exploring Economics is a one-semester high school course that helps students understand economic terms and issues that have an impact on the United States and its citizens. Written from a perspective of faith in God and trust in His Word, Exploring Economics surveys Biblical teachings on money and finance, provides an overview of the economic history of the United States, gives a clear explanation of terms and concepts used in economics, discusses economic issues confronting us today, and puts our participation in the national and world economies on a personal level. In a time when economic activity is challenging classic definitions, Exploring Economics reasserts the importance of the free market system and enables students to take part in the economy with knowledge and faith.

Yellow Star
I am a Jew. When I lived in Paris I was issued a yellow star of David and told to wear it pinned to my clothing at all times. The Nazis wanted to shame all of us by having us wear these stars, but my father saw things differently. He told me I should wear the star with pride because it meant I was a Jew and that was nothing to be ashamed of. I tried to remember what he said when people gave me dirty looks when they noticed the star or when they gave me more than enough room to pass them on the sidewalk so they wouldn't risk touching me. I tried to remember to be proud of who I was, but I usually forgot.
When I was twelve my parents found out about a way to get my little brother Andre and myself out of Paris. They knew we would have a better chance of surviving if we were out of the city. There was an underground network of Resistance fighters who were hard at work throughout France. They were unwilling to bend under the German occupation. They were willing to risk their lives so that people like my brother and me could have a chance to make it through.
