Lisa Luby Ryan wanted the perfect life: children who adored her and a husband that would protect, guide and love her. But things didn’t turn out that way. She had been sexually abused at a young age, lived in a chaotic home and wasn’t loved by her parents. Honesty, trust and a wholesome relationship between a man and a woman simply wasn’t Lisa’s reality. As she went through life, through relationships and men and a broken family of her own, she knew in her mind that “All I wanted was to be loved.” But God asked her the question, “How can I heal you when you’re not willing to heal yourself? Are you willing confront your secrets and give it all up to me?” Are you willing to give it all up? Are you willing to be healed? Lisa had to confess her past; a life of affairs, abortion, divorce, and neglect. She freed herself by facing the truth and God was faithful to restore the broken pieces.

Rebecca Friedrichs is the face of a national movement to restore the voices and authority of parents and teachers in America’s schools. As a twenty-eight-year public school teacher, she was forced to fund state and national teachers’ unions whose politics and divisive tactics degraded her profession, our schools, universities, and our national character. Her seminal lawsuit Friedrichs v California Teachers’ Association, which sought to free educators, and all public sector employees from forced unionism, was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on January 11, 2016. Poised to rule 5-4 in Rebecca’s favor, the Court deadlocked after the sudden passing of Justice Scalia. Determined to stop state and national teachers’ unions from destroying our schools, universities, and American values, and sensing that millions of like-minded supporters were stunned and discouraged, Rebecca refused to give up. Standing Up to Goliath, told through dozens of powerful personal accounts, is Rebecca’s exposé of bully unions. So that her readers will have a way to organize and take action, Rebecca also founded For Kids and Country, a national movement of parents, teachers, students, faith leaders, and citizens uniting to restore our schools and culture. Rebecca’s case trailblazed the way for Janus v AFSCME which won at the US Supreme Court on June 27, 2018 – remarkably Rebecca’s birthday – and successfully ended public-sector forced unionism in America. But most teachers have no idea they are funding the demise of their own profession, our schools and culture, so Rebecca’s book moves the battle forward - showing educators, students, citizens, and parents exactly why teachers should reject state and national unions in protection of kids and country. Rebecca lives in Southern California with her husband Charles, and their sons Kyle and Ben.
