So while the kids are out chasing Pokemon, adults that don't want to play may have a chance to enjoy some great book finds this summer. Here's some we've already tackled and encourage you to dive into:

51GWnJ+egYL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_1. "The Snapping of the American Mind" – David Kupielian

"Kupelian offers spiritual solutions for what ails the American mind" 

There's no question that the American mind and heart are experiencing pressures and aches like never before. Consciences are growing more seared and hearts hardened as the culture attempts to ease the pain with medication, deception and depravity. Kupelian offer some strong evidence that the American mind and heart are hopeless.

But as the grim prognosis is announced, Kupelian offers a a way of escape that is possible and optimistic – and eternal.

There is a way out of the mess we're in.

A must read for the disheartened that treasure traditional values and remain committed to leaving the next generation a world better than the one we inherited.

Thank you David Kupelian.

2. "Who Built That?" - Michelle Malkin

"Tales of trial and success renews appreciation for American manufacturing"

Michelle Malkin has a real appreciation for American exceptionalism and the astonishing ingenuity and creativity American entrepreneurs and inventors uniquely displayed during its history.

Anyone learning about these courageous humans that at times sacrificed everything to create things to make our world a better place will walk away with a new sense of appreciation and awe.

"Who Built That" tells the stories of American manufacturing heroes whose stories will inspire and motivate its readers to put their own "shoulders to the wheel" and reclaim America as the hub of worldwide industrial success.

51wWUNNadgL._AA300_3. "Flyover Nation" – Dana Loesch 

A new sense of pride and confidence after reading "Flyover Nation"
Dana Loesch's "Flyover Nation" offers a welcomed explanation for those millions of common sense Americans living somewhere between the Liberal East Coast and the Leftist West Coast whose opinions are ignored or overlooked consistently by network news.

We are the descendants of those that adventured into the plains to learn independent and self-sufficient living while those on the coasts keep doing their best to convey to us that we're backward, uneducated and regressive.

As a Midwesterner herself, Dana explains how she views the world, and she does it in a kind but powerful manner. It's our jobs as fellow Flyover Nation inhabitants to spread the word about this treasure – there's certainly no way we or she can count on getting the word out from the network elites.

You'll put this book down more confident, less embarrassed and more determined to engage in saving the conservative worldview that has made America great from the beginning.

Great job, Dana!
