Summary

Ethiopian Dynasties explores the remarkable history of Ethiopia through its ruling families, particularly the Solomonic Dynasty, which claimed descent from the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. This book examines how these dynasties shaped Ethiopia's cultural identity, maintained its sovereignty, and navigated complex political landscapes. Unlike many African nations, Ethiopia avoided colonization, and this book highlights how its dynasties contributed to its unique development, rooted in ancient traditions and Christian faith. The book delves into the establishment of power, the evolution of Ethiopian governance, and the interplay between dynastic leadership, religious institutions, and socio-cultural norms.

 
Ethiopian history reveals fascinating insights, such as the significance of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's identity and preserving its independence. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the mythical origins of the Solomonic line, moving through the Axumite Kingdom and the Zagwe dynasty, and concluding with the reign of Haile Selassie I and the fall of the monarchy.

 
This comprehensive account draws on royal chronicles, religious texts, and modern scholarship to provide a balanced view of Ethiopian history. By examining the political, social, and religious dimensions of dynastic rule, Ethiopian Dynasties offers valuable insights into the forces that shaped Ethiopia's past and continue to influence its present. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, monarchical systems, or the history of Ethiopia.

    The first-person account of how a small band of Green Berets used horses and laser-guided bombs to overthrow the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11. 
     
     
     
    They landed in a dust storm so thick the chopper pilot used dead reckoning and a guess to find the ground. Welcomed by a band of heavily armed militiamen, they climbed a mountain on horseback to meet the most ferocious warlord in Asia. They plotted a war of nineteenth-century maneuvers against a twenty-first-century foe. They trekked through minefields, sometimes past the mangled bodies of local tribesmen who'd shared food with them hours before. They saved babies and treated fractures, sewed up wounded who'd been transported from the battlefield by donkey. They found their enemy hiding in thick bunkers, dodged bullets from machine-gun-laden pickup trucks, and survived mass rocket attacks from vintage Soviet-era launchers. They battled the Taliban while mediating blood feuds between rival allies. They fought with everything they had, from smart bombs to AK-47s.The men they helped called them brothers. Hollywood called them the Horse Soldiers. 
     
     
     
    They called themselves Green Berets—Special Forces ODA 595.

    Neville Goddard (1905 - 1972) was a teacher, author and lecturer. He was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise." These relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining, and is similar to the teachings of the New Thought movement. This public lecture is about beliefs, knowing, and other mystical topics.

    More than twenty years ago, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan set into motion a hugely consequential shift in America's foreign policy: a perpetual state of war that is almost entirely invisible to the American public. War Made Invisible, by the journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon, exposes how this happened, and what its consequences are, from military and civilian casualties to drained resources at home. 
     
     
     
    From Iraq through Afghanistan and Syria and on to little-known deployments in a range of countries around the globe, the United States has been at perpetual war for at least the past two decades. Yet many of these forays remain off the radar of average Americans. Compliant journalists add to the smokescreen by providing narrow coverage of military engagements and by repeating the military's talking points. Meanwhile, the increased use of high technology, air power, and remote drones has put distance between soldiers and the civilians who die. Back at home, Solomon argues, the cloak of invisibility masks massive Pentagon budgets that receive bipartisan approval even as policy makers struggle to fund the domestic agenda. 
     
     
     
    Necessary, timely, and unflinching, War Made Invisible is an eloquent moral call for counting the true costs of war.

    Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
     
     
     
    In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.
