From Fox News. Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, has a story to tell — and it unabashedly includes love of family, faith and country, plus a robust defense of America’s traditional values at a time when the country is very divided.

“We’re seeing a real attack on traditional values in this country right now,” Lamb told Fox News Digital in an interview this week.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

“We’re seeing an attack on our children and an effort to educate them about things that most parents are not OK with,” added Lamb, a father and grandfather.

It is why, Lamb said — in an effort to help educate America’s children and “be part of their lives in a positive way” — he decided to write a children’s book that teaches critical thinking skills, something he believes is very much needed today.

The illustrated children’s book, out in this month of January 2023 from Brave Books, is called “The Adventures of Seymour Clues and Mr. Mouse: The Case of the Mysterious Sea Monster.”

“Really, this book is designed to help kids be critical thinkers and teach them about some values,” said Lamb, the book’s co-author.

“It helps teach them to ask questions and really understand things.”

“We’re being fed things that aren’t always what they appear to be.”

. . .

Lamb — known for his strong defense of America, his vehement objections to the open southern border under the current administration and his grave concerns about the fentanyl that’s pouring into this country and killing America’s kids — is making one thing very clear.

The sheriff is letting others know that there’s a new author in town. …

“Those books were designed to make kids think about what they were reading, and see if they could figure out what was going on,” said Lamb.

“And that’s what my new book is about. I think it’s a great way for kids to learn some valuable lessons and life lessons. And, I love what Brave Books is doing with all of its books to do that.” …

“There are so many aspects of this story that I love — the critical thinking aspect of it, the investigative piece of it. And the characters in this book love their community. They live on Freedom Island, where good battles evil — and where the love of freedom and good prevails.”

“I love freedom. And I want to do what I can to protect it.”

Added Lamb, “They love their island and want to protect it,” he said. “And I’m the same way. I love this country and I love the Constitution. And I love freedom. And I want to do what I can to protect it” in the United States, he said. …

There are “children being trafficked for sex,” said Lamb — “which is happening through the open borders. This is why I stand so strongly for protecting our borders because these kids are being taken advantage of — and adults are as well.” …

“You have 300-plus Americans being poisoned every day because of the open southern border. You have men and women being extorted, enslaved, put into the sex trade — you have an increase in crime. You have taxes that are not being paid. So this is having an effect on our economy.”

Said Lamb, “This is the greatest threat to America right now, not being able to protect our sovereignty right now through border security. There’s a level of corruption that exists, and it’s up to us to stand up against this type of corruption.” …

Yes, he said, “corruption does exist, unfortunately — but there are good people out there fighting against it and trying to protect our communities.”

He also said, “And I think it’s good to encourage children — in a world where everybody’s trying to tell everybody else how to think and act — to think for themselves.”

He added, “A love for freedom, a love for this country” — all of this is important to him.

Lamb, by the way, is a person of deep faith and doesn’t shy away from that.

“I’m very Christian,” he said. “I share scripture when I speak at various places. The Bible is the most read book in the world. And it has been for many generations.”

As society “gets away from the Bible, we are deteriorating in many ways,” he said. “The Bible is designed to help people be better in their lives. I don’t run from the fact that I’m a Christian.” …
