    American Poly - A History

    Recent studies have found that as many as one in five Americans have experimented with some form of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous. The mainstream media has increasingly covered polyamorous lifestyles and the committed relationships of throuples, and dating apps have added polyamory as a status option. 
     
     
     
    This book is the first history to trace the evolution of polyamorous thought and practice within the broader context of American culture. Drawing on personal journals and letters, underground newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey Institute Archives, among other sources, it reconstructs polyamory's intellectual foundations, highlighting its unique blend of conservative political thought and countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M. Gleason locates its early foundations in the Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to spread their ideas, often undermining any remaining religious or spiritual significance their ideas held. 
     
     
     
    Offering an original perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the family, American Poly reveals the history of polyamory in the United States from fringe practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.

    Themes in the Midst - A...

    This book captures a journey marked by profound loss, boundless grace, surrender, and ultimate joy, all orchestrated by the guiding hand of God. Presented through a sincere compilation of narratives, stories, and poetry, Lanford invites readers into an inspiring exploration of his personal odyssey through the depths of grief following the passing of his wife of 42 years. Within these confessional, redemptive, and restorative writings lies a narrative of forgiveness, renewal, and the extravagant love of God. 
    Rather than a conventional guide on coping with grief, Lanford emphasizes to readers that this book aims to sensitize readers to God's relentless desire to love and pursue them through the darkest moments. Even those who have not experienced the loss of a spouse or a beloved can cultivate empathy and compassion for those navigating such spaces. 
    Lanford clarifies, "This isn't just a self-help manual; it's an exploration designed to stir the soul, encouraging contemplation of God and fostering an awareness that, in times of distress, God does not abandon us. His intention is to bring comfort and meet us precisely where we need Him the most." 
    When asked about the key takeaway for readers, Lanford expresses, "God epitomizes absolute love. He actively pursues us in our deepest grief and heartache, offering measured and sometimes overflowing mercy. He equips us with strength for each day and every ciucumstance."

    In the winter of 1944, as the Allies closed in on Nazi Germany from both the west and east, Adolf Hitler’s regime found itself increasingly cornered. Desperate to reverse the tide of the war, Hitler launched one last, audacious offensive: the Battle of the Bulge. Known as Germany’s last major push against the Allied forces, the battle took place in the dense forests of the Ardennes region in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. This surprise attack, initiated on December 16, 1944, was meant to divide the Allied armies, capture vital port cities like Antwerp, and cripple the Allied war effort. In his final attempt to change the course of the war, Hitler gambled everything—hoping to break the deadlock and buy time for his collapsing forces. 
      
    The Battle of the Bulge was an enormous, high-stakes operation that relied on surprise, speed, and overwhelming force. The Ardennes was chosen not only for its strategic location but also because it was considered an unlikely place for a large-scale attack. The Allies, exhausted from months of fighting and underestimating the potential of a German counteroffensive, were caught off guard. The weather, heavy with snow and fog, further complicated the Allied defense and gave the Germans an initial advantage. Hitler believed that a swift, unexpected strike through the dense forests would disorient the Allies, creating confusion and panic, and ultimately forcing a favorable settlement. 
      
    However, this final gamble was doomed to fail. Despite the initial successes of the German forces, the battle’s outcome ultimately hinged on the determination of the Allied soldiers, the rapid mobilization of reinforcements, and the logistical prowess of the Allies.

    This WWII memoir tells the remarkable story of a Ukrainian girl’s perilous adventures and coming of age amid the chaos of war.  Born in Kiev to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, Sophia Williams chose to be identified as Jewish when she became eligible for a Soviet passport at age sixteen. She had no way of realizing the life-changing consequences of her decision. When Germany invaded Russia the following year, Sophia left Kiev and embarked on daring journey into Russia—surviving floods, dodging fires and bombs, and falling in love.   After reaching Stalingrad, Sophia found herself stranded in a Nazi-occupied town. She was safely employed by a sympathetic German officer until a local girl recognized her as a Jew. Within days, Sophia’s boss spirited her to safety with his family in Poland. Soon, though, Sophia was on the run again, this time to Nazi Germany, where she somehow escaped detection through the rest of the war.   Her story of survival continues into the postwar years, through starting a family and business with a German soldier. But when her marriage deteriorated, even divorce was not enough to keep her vindictive and violent husband away. Throughout this difficult life, Sophia maintained the grit, charm, and optimism that saved her time and again as she made her “escape into danger.”
