  The Gilded Age and the dawn of the 20th century are often remembered as an era full of monopolies, trusts, and economic giants in heavy industries like oil and steel. Men like Andrew Carnegie built empires like Carnegie Steel, and financiers like J.P. Morgan merged and consolidated them. The era also made names like Astor, Cooke, and Vanderbilt instantly recognizable across the globe. Over time, the unfathomable wealth generated by the businesses made the individuals on top incredibly rich, and that in turn led to immense criticism and an infamous epithet used to rail against them: robber barons.  
  	Dozens of men were called “robber barons”, and the industrial might wielded by some of these men in the late 19th century directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the “trust buster”, and there has since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the “robber barons” and even took issue with the name. Libertarian writer John Stossel argued, “They weren't robbers, because they didn't steal from anyone, and they weren't barons - they were born poor...” Ironically, one of America’s most famous robber barons, Andrew Carnegie, epitomized the American Dream, migrating with his poor family to America in the mid-19th century and rising to the top of the business world in his adopted country. And like Carnegie, railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt set a precedent of sorts with his philanthropy, most notably his gift to Vanderbilt University, which bears his name. Similarly, the West Coast's most famous railroad mogul became Leland Stanford, who also bequeathed a prestigious university after making it to the top of the industry.

  Dwight D Eisenhower: The True...

  Ask a random sample of people to name the History Makers of World War II and you can pretty much predict their answers. First on the list will be Adolf Hitler, who made history for all the wrong reasons, then next it could well be Sir Winston Churchill with his characteristic V for victory sign and large cigar. Such luminaries as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, fondly known to his men as “Monty”, General de Gaulle and President Franklin D Roosevelt are all likely to be in the top ten, along with Hitler’s henchmen Herman Goering and the Desert Fox, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, as well as Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. 
   
  Whether fighting for good or evil, each of these men had a larger-than-life persona, and although Hitler’s ruthlessness as a dictator kept the Nazis in line, the Allies needed to work together by more democratic means. The task of diplomatically leading these undoubtedly great but not always easy characters when it mattered most, fell to affable American, Dwight D Eisenhower, who certainly deserves to be called a History Maker of World War II.

  As a minister, Doug Manning shared encounters and lessons from scripture with his congregation. As an author of over 50 books on grief, elder care, and life transitions as well as a world-renowned public speaker, he shared stories from others who were walking difficult paths. Now, at the age of 91, Doug is sharing his own story. 
  In "The Spiritual Journey of a Recovering Baptist," he takes a thoughtful, reflective look at how all the mountains, valleys, twists, and turns brought him to a place of acceptance and peace with his place in the world. Doug offers grace for difficult times and gratitude for unexpected course changes. His hope with this memoir is to encourage others to embrace life's challenges and opportunities, and understand that it is all part of the journey. 
  __________ 
  If you are looking for a profound theological treatise you won’t find it here; if you are looking for down-to-earth wisdom—you WILL find it here! Doug Manning’s pastoral journey is rooted in the common life of a pastor who cherishes the relationship with God’s people to such a degree that he actually listens, carefully, to them. Here you will find uncommon wisdom of a true pastor in his journey to follow Jesus rather than following what others say who Jesus is. 
  —Kevin Adams, Chaplain, Colonel, USAF (retired) 
  __________

This book is a treasure trove of unexpected grace, tender care, and resilient love. Doug’s stories can help us live more deeply right now, so don’t wait to begin. 
  —Rev. Dr. Lori Allen Walke, Senior Minister, 
  Mayflower Congregational UCC
