Sinopsis

In "Off Santiago with Sampson," James Otis provides a gripping narrative that captures the essence of naval warfare during the Spanish-American War. Utilizing a vivid and engaging literary style, Otis immerses readers in the tumultuous atmosphere of 1898, blending historical fact with a touch of fictionalized adventure. Through meticulous attention to detail and rich descriptions, the book offers insights into the lives of those at sea, highlighting the strategic complexities and personal sacrifices associated with warfare. The narrative is steeped in the broader Romantic tradition, where heroism is celebrated amidst the chaos of conflict. James Otis, an American author and historian, had a profound interest in the events of the late 19th century, which heavily influenced his writing. With a background in both literature and history, he sought to educate and entertain younger audiences through historical narratives. His passion for maritime adventure and the intricacies of naval battles is palpable in this work, reflecting both a personal fascination with the sea and a desire to convey the valor of those who served during the war. I highly recommend "Off Santiago with Sampson" to readers interested in historical fiction and naval history alike. This book serves not only as an engaging adventure but also as an educational tool that illuminates a pivotal moment in American history. Otis's ability to weave fact with fiction will resonate with both casual readers and history enthusiasts.

Dee Gordon

You wont be familiar with every one of the huge array of women featured in this book, but all, familiar or not, leave unanswered questions behind them. The range is extensive, as was the research, with its insight into the lives and minds of women in different centuries, different countries, with diverse cultures and backgrounds, from the poverty stricken to royalty. Mistresses, murderers, smugglers, pirates, prostitutes, and fanatics with hearts and souls that feature every shade of black (and grey!). From Cleopatra to Ruth Ellis, from Boudicca to Bonnie Parker, from Lady Caroline Lamb to Moll Cutpurse, from Jezebel to Ava Gardner. Less familiar names include Mary Jeffries, the Victorian brothel-keeper, Belle Starr, the American gambler and horse thief, La Voisin, the seventeenth-century Queen of all Witches in France but these are random names, to illustrate the variety of the content in store for all those interested in women who defy law and order, for whatever reason. The risque, the adventurous and the outrageous, the downright nasty and the downright desperate all human (female!) life is here. From the lower strata of society to the aristocracy, class is not a common denominator. Wicked? Misunderstood? Nave? Foolish? Predatory? Manipulative? Or just out of their time? Listen and decide.

How to Be a Patriotic Christian...

Richard J. Mouw

What does it mean to love our country?
Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement.
Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace.
Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

Summary of Helen Smith's Men on...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Helen Smith's Men on Strike 
  
"Where did all the decent men go?" is a question you hear everywhere. But it’s the wrong question to ask. The better question is, “Why did all the decent men go on strike?" In Men on Strike (2013), Helen Smith offers an answer. 
Smith asserts that there is a real war on men in modern culture. The majority of men might not discuss it or even believe that a "democratic" country would judge them without due process or accountability. Yet, in today's anti-male society, this is happening to most males. As a result, men have opted out, going on strike rather than having to face a ruthless attack on their gender. Smith details the legal, educational, and cultural war on men and suggests how society can remedy it, warning that if we don't, our culture will be forever changed.
