Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has always been committed to the idea that citizens can work together to build a common world. Today, three afflictions keep us from pursuing that noble ideal. The first and most obvious affliction is identity politics, which seeks to transform America by turning politics into a religious venue of sacrificial offering. For now, the sacrificial scapegoat is the white, heterosexual, man. After he is humiliated and purged, who will be the object of cathartic rage? White women? Black men? Identity politics is the anti-egalitarian spiritual eugenics of our age. It demands that pure and innocent groups ascend, and the stained transgressor groups be purged. The second affliction is that citizens oscillate back and forth, in bipolar fashion, at one moment feeling invincible on their social media platforms and, the next, feeling impotent to face the everyday problems of life without the guidance of experts and global managers. Third, Americans are afflicted by a disease that cannot quite be named, characterized by an addictive hope that they can find cheap shortcuts that bypass the difficult labors of everyday life. Instead of real friendship, we seek social media “friends.” Instead of meals at home, we order “fast food.” Instead of real shopping, we “shop” online. Instead of counting on our families and neighbors to address our problems, we look to the state to take care of us. In its many forms, this disease promises release from our labors, yet impoverishes us all. American Awakening chronicles all of these problems, yet gives us hope for the future.

Download or read book Liberty Is Sweet written by Woody Holton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “deeply researched and bracing retelling” (Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian) of the American Revolution, showing how the Founders were influenced by overlooked Americans—women, Native Americans, African Americans, and religious dissenters. Using more than a thousand eyewitness records, Liberty Is Sweet is a “spirited account” (Gordon S. Wood, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution) that explores countless connections between the Patriots of 1776 and other Americans whose passion for freedom often brought them into conflict with the Founding Fathers. “It is all one story,” prizewinning historian Woody Holton writes. Holton describes the origins and crucial battles of the Revolution from Lexington and Concord to the British surrender at Yorktown, always focusing on marginalized Americans—enslaved Africans and African Americans, Native Americans, women, and dissenters—and on overlooked factors such as weather, North America’s unique geography, chance, misperception, attempts to manipulate public opinion, and (most of all) disease. Thousands of enslaved Americans exploited the chaos of war to obtain their own freedom, while others were given away as enlistment bounties to whites. Women provided material support for the troops, sewing clothes for soldiers and in some cases taking part in the fighting. Both sides courted native people and mimicked their tactics. Liberty Is Sweet is a “must-read book for understanding the founding of our nation” (Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin), from its origins on the frontiers and in the Atlantic ports to the creation of the Constitution. Offering surprises at every turn—for example, Holton makes a convincing case that Britain never had a chance of winning the war—this majestic history revivifies a story we thought we already knew.

Download or read book Awakening written by Devon Skinner and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Awakening, a black immigrant shares his compelling ideas about the current situation facing African Americans, initiating an impassioned discussion about slavery, civil rights, and African American structure in this country. African Americans today face many challenging issues such as absentee dads, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, drugs, black-on-black crime, and the exploding jail population; many blame black people for impeding their own progress. According to Devon Skinner, who immigrated to America when he was nineteen, black people have not failed themselves, but instead have become victims of liberalism. It's liberal policies that promises change but delivers more of the same. If the cure never solves the problem then something is wrong with the cure, not the patient. Skinner provides insight into the ways we can change these circumstances while presenting an overview of literature relating to the black experience and sharing examples from his own life. He delves into controversial issues such as racism, the treatment of slaves, and the definition of welfare all while offering encouragement to African Americans to respond to the humanitarian needs of the world. In today's culture, many blacks continue their struggle for power and respect. Awakening educates and informs African Americans of the great opportunities that lie before them while providing the motivation to walk into the future with not only a different perspective, but most importantly, a purpose.

Download or read book Awakening written by Marcus Barphosphorus Mikhael and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Mikhael Invites readers on a journey of the soul and mind. New book is a collection of the author’s ruminations on some of life’s greatest questions. Marcus Barphosphorus Mikhael marks his debut in the world of literature with an eclectic collection of his original poetry and prose. Awakening is an illuminative glimpse into the depths of the human psyche and a journey into the heart of the human condition. Mikhael’s work is a culmination of more than 10 years of seeking answers to some of life’s greatest questions. He shares that it was a deeply personal and tragic event that pressed him on to embark on the said endeavor, “About fifteen years ago, I was impassioned by the questions a troubled high school student whom I mentored asked me— questions about morals of existence and existence of Heaven and Hell, questions to which I neither could give answers to nor had authority in any of the answers when given. And she, shortly after committed suicide. Her tragic death, as it were, pressed me to search out the answers so I began a life’s journey to gain knowledge and understanding, in all subjects, as much as possible.” In Awakening, Mikhael examines universal subjects— including love and humankind’s perennial pursuit for knowledge and identity— and with his unique voice, he makes every piece of writing thought-provoking and emotionally accessible. Immersive and compelling, Awakening is at once a chronicle of one man’s quest for understanding life and the world around him and a testament to the power of literature to comfort the heart, nourish the soul and transform the mind.

Download or read book Awaken written by Terry Nance and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a time when the church is failing to live up to its own standards. It has tragically been losing the respect of those it tries to win to Christ because it has succumbed to sin, pride, and corruption. In the past, a lost world looked to the church as the example of hope and integrity; today, many people laugh or roll their eyes when the church is mentioned. It has largely lost its relevance in the world. In Awaken, best-selling author Terry Nance has composed a series of letters to younger and newer believers, aiming to help them avoid many of the sins and mistakes of their spiritual fathers as they hold high the standard of the kingdom of God with which they have been entrusted. We the church must realize that we are called to be kingdom leaders for Jesus Christ, not empire builders for ourselves. We must awaken to the understanding that we carry Jesus to this world, and His spirit within us must be reflected in everything we do. Nance’s challenge is clear: Set a standard of holiness in your own life, endure affliction as a good soldier of Christ, run your race with patience, and persevere until you come to the finish line. As you do, you will leave behind an army of leaders in the next generation who can take up your banner for Jesus and carry it forward with honor.

Download or read book Liberty Defined written by Ron Paul and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date. The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliché. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty? Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America. This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul's position on fifty of the most important issues of our times, from Abortion to Zionism. Accessible, easy to digest, and fearless in its discussion of controversial topics, LIBERTY DEFINED sheds new light on a word that is losing its shape.

Download or read book The Awakening written by Neville and published by . This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If one is looking for answers to the meaning of life and how to make a happier, richer existence—e.g., relationships, finances, health—then Neville's teaching from personal experience, testimonies from students, and his amazing visions paralleling and explaining the mysteries of the Old and New Testament will answer those questions. Learn his techniques, unleash your power to create, believe in your imaginal acts, and no power in this world can stop the desired results from appearing in your world. It's the only creative power, one that everyone is operating moment to moment. Learning how to direct it deliberately is essential to producing loving, positive changes in one's life. These 1963 lectures also begin a nine-year odyssey of discovering the deepest meanings of six visions of the End that had unfolded in Neville (1959–1963). The visions are the signs that this long journey as limited man, the terrible opacity and contraction, is over, that the purpose of human life has been completed—man has endured and overcome six thousand years of amnesia plus the fires of experience and has emerged victorious. He's been transformed by his inner being (I AM, God) back into the divinity he truly is . . . and always was.
