  The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
   
   
   
  Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
   
   
   
  Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

  England’s Entry into North...

  Nearly 20 years before Jamestown was settled, the English established one of the earliest colonies in North America around the Chesapeake Bay region, until the colony had over 100 inhabitants. Like other early settlements, Roanoke struggled to survive in its infancy, to the extent that the colony’s leader, John White, sailed back to England in 1587 in an effort to bring more supplies and help. However, the attempts to bring back supplies were thwarted by the Spanish in the midst of the Anglo-Spanish War going on at the time, and it was not until 1590 that White reached Roanoke again. What White found when he came back to Roanoke led to one of the most enduring mysteries in American history. Despite the fact he had left over 100 people in Roanoke in 1587, White returned to literally nothing. 
  	Jamestown is fondly remembered today for being the first permanent English settlement in the colonies, but it was not fondly remembered by those who lived and died there. The English quickly learned it would be difficult to establish a permanent settlement because of the poor weather, the swampy terrain, the hostile natives living nearby, and the general inexperience and ineptitude of the English settlers. During their first winter, everyone nearly starved, and more than half of the settlers died. By the end of the winter of 1609-1610, known as the “starving time”, barely 10% of the settlers were still alive.  
  	Though the Virginian colonists had difficulty in the beginning, by the late 1620s the Chesapeake area was thriving, having become a haven for those seeking economic opportunity in the new world. Pressures in England were growing as King Charles I was on the throne. Though Charles I himself was an Anglican, many suspected him of Catholic sympathies, a suspicion not alleviated by Charles I marriage to a French Catholic princess.

  The Dawn of Day 
   By Friedrich Nietzsche 
  What if the true dawn of humanity is not behind us, but still ahead? In The Dawn of Day, Nietzsche invites you to peer into the quiet moments before sunrise - where morality, truth, and belief begin to shift their shape. 
  Known as one of the most provocative minds in Western philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche sought to untangle the inherited dogmas of his age. This work marks a turning point in his thought, foreshadowing the bold ideas of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil. Here, Nietzsche begins to question the foundations of religion, ethics, and self - urging readers to wake from the slumber of convention and to seek their own truths. 
  Explore entries that challenge the origins of conscience, dissect the psychology of altruism, and examine the hidden instincts that shape our so-called morality. Each aphorism opens a door - sometimes to wonder, sometimes to unease - but always toward deeper self-awareness. 
  More than a philosophical treatise, The Dawn of Day remains a timeless journey into the labyrinth of human nature. Nietzsche's insights continue to influence thinkers, artists, and seekers over a century later. His call for intellectual courage is as relevant now as ever. 
  This immersive audiobook experience, brought to life with crystal-clear AI narration, delivers Nietzsche’s words with precision and emotional nuance—inviting you to engage deeply, reflect boldly, and listen actively. 
  Dare to step into the shadows before sunrise. Buy now and awaken your own dawn of thought.
