Description: Christian schools in Ohio were the first to face major lawsuits to determine whether they have the right to exist. But Christian schools in many other states -- Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, Alabama, to name a few -- face similar attacks. It is a life-and-death struggle: make no mistake about it! Ohio's Trojan Horse details an early skirmish that was fought and won in one state. But it does more than that: it prepares the reader to fight his own battles with tyrannical government educationists on his own home ground. In this book, Alan N. Grover -- dynamic young executive director of Christian Schools of Ohio -- deals with the threat of statist control of Christian education. He views the problem from legal, theological, educational, philosophical, constitutional, and doctrinal perspectives. - Back cover.
