When we enter through the Gate of Jesus – by repentance and faith - we enter into his eternal kingdom. In that moment, we become citizens of heaven. Yes, we still find ourselves here on earth, but everything has changed. Earth is no longer our home nor our future. Once we belonged to this world, and it was all we had, all we could invest in and ‘build’. But now we belong to a different kingdom, we serve a different King, and we live to advance his kingdom. We have a mission now – sometimes in secret, sometimes overt – but always a mission: to build the kingdom of God.‘I laid a foundation… someone else is building on it… their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light…’ (1 Corinthians 3:10-13)(Philippians 3:20; 2 Corinthians 5:16; Matthew 16:15-20)Voir livre
The ballad "John Henry" is the most recorded folk song in American history and John Henry--the mighty railroad man who could blast through rock faster than a steam drill--is a towering figure in our culture. In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad. Equally important, Nelson masterfully captures the life of the ballad of John Henry, tracing the song's evolution from the first printed score by blues legend W. C. Handy, to Carl Sandburg's use of the ballad to become the first "folk singer," to the upbeat version by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Attractively illustrated with numerous images, Steel Drivin' Man offers a marvelous portrait of a beloved folk song--and a true American legend.Voir livre
This book bundle explores the core virtues that empower individuals to achieve self-mastery and lead lives of purpose, balance, and productivity. Through the cultivation of Self-Control, Temperance, and Diligence, we gain the strength to overcome obstacles, maintain focus, and accomplish our goals while maintaining integrity and balance. Self-Control is the foundation of discipline. This section emphasizes the importance of managing impulses, emotions, and desires in order to make thoughtful and deliberate decisions. Through self-control, individuals are able to resist immediate temptations in favor of long-term goals, fostering patience, resilience, and emotional stability. This virtue enables us to stay aligned with our values and navigate life with purpose. Temperance involves moderation and balance in all aspects of life. This part highlights the need for avoiding excess and cultivating a sense of balance. Whether it’s in our consumption, actions, or words, temperance teaches us to approach life with wisdom, avoiding extremes and instead embracing a mindful and moderate way of living. It’s the key to maintaining harmony in our personal and professional lives. Diligence is the steadfast commitment to working hard and persisting in the face of challenges. This section underscores the importance of being dedicated, proactive, and persistent in achieving our goals. Diligence is not just about working hard; it's about maintaining focus, consistently putting in effort, and never losing sight of the value of persistence, even when the work is difficult or seemingly unimportant. Together, these virtues create a powerful framework for cultivating personal discipline, ensuring we can achieve our potential and live a life of meaningful accomplishment. With self-control, moderation, and diligent effort, we can master our behaviors, improve our habits, and live in alignment with our highest aspirations.Voir livre

The Curse of Demagogues: Lessons Learned from the Presidency of Donald J. Trump is a collection of 32 essays by 22 writers that make the case that the pathway back to a healthy American democracy is for citizens to understand demagogues and defend against them. More than any other book in print, The Curse of Demagogues makes the story of Donald Trump's rise to the White House coherent and understandable. Trump, a demagogue, gained ascendancy in a laissez-faire political culture wherein neither the Republican Party nor the other gatekeepers of democracy, including the news media, effectively counteracted him. Once in the highest office in the land, Trump devolved into authoritarianism in order to retain power, as demagogues are well-known to do. The book has three overarching aims. First, it constitutes a short history of Trump's years in the White House (and his first two campaigns for president) as told from the perspective of scholars, journalists, and legal experts who specifically warned the public about his dangers as a demagogue in real time. Second, the collection is a detailed primer on demagogues and the multifarious ways they poison the vital organs of constitutional democracy. Third, the book is an urgent call to restore gatekeepers to their essential role as defenders of democracy against demagogues. To revivify our once great democracy, we must defend it against demagogues by strengthening gatekeeping systems within political parties, the media, and the US Congress (powers of impeachment, conviction, and disqualification from future office), and through vigorous civics, ethics, and media literacy education for grades K-12. As Eli Merritt, editor and contributor, writes in the book's introduction: "The enemy of democracy is not a Democrat or Republican. It is a demagogue." ©2022 Eli Merritt (P)2023 Peter LermanVoir livre
