Sinossi

In 'Tenting on the Plains (Illustrated Edition)', Elizabeth Bacon Custer offers a rare and intimate portrayal of life on the American frontier during the late 19th century. Written with a blend of memoir and travel writing, the text captures the trials and triumphs of military life with keen observations and vivid descriptions. The narrative, rich with personal reflection and a poetic touch, provides unique insights into the social dynamics and the spirit of adventure that defined this era. Custer's illustrations further enhance the reader's understanding, bringing to life the landscape and human experiences of this transformative period in American history. As the wife of General George Armstrong Custer, Elizabeth was deeply embedded in the fabric of military life, experiencing both the camaraderie and hardship of the plains. Her background as an educated woman in the tumultuous post-Civil War America undoubtedly influenced her perspective, allowing her to navigate a male-dominated world with intelligence and grace. Her literary contributions helped to document a historical narrative often overlooked, asserting her voice amidst the chaos of war and expansion. 'Tenting on the Plains' is a compelling read for anyone interested in women's roles in history, military life, and American frontier narratives. Custer's evocative storytelling invites readers to experience the challenges and joys of life on the plains, making it a worthy addition to both academic and personal libraries.

    God created us in his image. This places a great burden on each person to not break that image of God within us. God thinks in symbols and so do we. There is always punishment for broken symbolism. Questions considered are, what does God think about: Gender, marriage, sex, the Cross as broken, not fulfilled symbolism? Why did God punish Moses so harshly when he struck the Rock in the wilderness the second time? Why is God allowing seemingly innocent victims to die by random shooters? Why does God see the climate change movement as idolatry? Why did Satan devise homosexuality? Why did God assign the death penalty for male but not female homosexuality? Why is having multiple wives acceptable in the Old Testament, but not having multiple husbands? All these topics, and many others, have to do with symbolism and are explained by How God Thinks.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the whirlwind of early 20th-century Germany, Heinrich Himmler grapples with questions of masculinity and identity amidst a society in flux. Denied the opportunity to prove himself in war, Himmler is forced to confront his own biases when faced with the complexities of homosexuality. 
    Coming from a conservative background, Himmler's beliefs clash with the realization that masculinity can manifest in diverse ways, including within the LGBTQ+ community. As he ascends to power, his inner struggle reaches a climax with the notorious Bad Tölz speech of 1937, marking a dark chapter in Nazi history. 
    "Himmler's Secret Desire" delves deep into Himmler's journey, offering insights into Nazi attitudes towards gender and sexuality. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of prejudice and the ongoing pursuit of acceptance and understanding.
