"What if you prayed to know truth and God told you everything you've been taught is a lie?" Nate O'Connor wants to do right. His senior year of college, though, gets off to a rocky start. He's a student at Bob Johnson University, the flagship institution of higher learning in American fundamentalism, where he and his best friend are placed on spiritual probation after being accused of disloyalty to the school. Their attempt to repair their reputation backfires and when Nate meets two women--one beautiful and smart, the other wise and charming--his entire belief system is uprooted. Nate's world is further rocked by tragedy and his life will never be the same. Drawing on his own experiences as a student at Bob Jones University, Rich Merritt has crafted an extraordinary story of love, hope, loss, betrayal and loyalty. Most of all, Spiritual Probation is a deeply compelling exploration into the power of faith - in friends, lovers and God, as each of us defines God, and in the unwavering dictates of our own hearts.

"And we see that death comes upon mankind... nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead." - Alma 12:24 This life is the time to prepare to meet God. Many people think that it is impossible to complete your probation and meet God in this life. Yet we read multiple examples in the scriptures of people who have done just that. This book takes an in depth look at the probation period and answering questions like: When does it really start, When does it really end, Why do we have the dark night trials when the spirit leaves us, What is the fastest way though these trials, why do we have the veil of forgetfulness and how to remove it, what are some of the changes we experience after our probation has ended, and many more valuable and interesting concepts related to our probation. Understanding your probation will help you to navigate life successfully and provide you with the tools and insights needed to "Endure to the End". "And it came to pass that I said unto them that it was a representation of things both temporal and spiritual; for the day should come that they must be judged of their works, yea, even the works which were done by the temporal body in their days of probation." - 1 Nephi 15:32

In 1907 the Probation of Offenders Act introduced a system which allowed offenders to be rehabilitated at home under supervision, rather than being sent to prison. This book explores how the probation system was used to regulate the private lives, emotions and behaviours of people in Britain between 1907 and 1962. Access to the private sphere, both physically and psychologically, meant that the probation system was particularly well-suited to offences related to intimate and personal relations. With each chapter focusing on a particular type of offence, including wife assault, attempted suicide, male sexual offences and female prostitution, Settle shows how experiences of the probationers were shaped by the everyday practices of probation, and assesses the extent to which probation was successful in rehabilitating offenders and protecting the public. Also examining the role of probation officers in marriage reconciliation, the book explores how ideas about gender and domesticity were crucial to both the process of rehabilitation and the endeavour to make the home a safe environment in which these domestic ideals could come into fruition. Probation and Policing of the Private Sphere in Britain enriches our understanding of the role of the state in policing, monitoring and promoting the well-being of its citizens, and explores the nuances of probation's dual purpose as a form of social control as well as a social work service designed to help the most vulnerable in society.

Putting God's Plan for Your Life into Action For many Christians, we hear the call to action and know what we should be doing to further God's Kingdom-the problem is that we don't follow through for a myriad of different reasons. It could be we think we aren't ready yet or that we are ill-equipped for such a task. It could be that we feel our past is too sinful and will render us ineffective. As a result, we run away from God. We try to escape or bypass His plans for our life and do it our own way instead. But as we learned from the story of Jonah, you cannot outrun God-no matter how hard you try. Forty Years' Probation author Tony Huereña can attest to this better than anyone. In this book, he details his journey back to Christ forty years later and teaches the reader how to follow through and put into action God's plan for their own life.
