Why did 'Frankenstein' prowl through the Cache town of Clarkston? Does Sardine Canyon hide the state's fishiest story? Exactly what was the 'Lakemobile' that rolled through the Great Salt Lake? When and why did BYU temporarily ban football? How is it that the first college basketball team to ever play in the state was all women, and they beat the men?

    When Dwight Eisenhower graduated from West Point in 1915, few would have predicted he was destined for greatness. Yet the young officer made the most of the opportunities he was given, made a lasting impression on superiors, and eventually gained a reputation as an excellent staff officer. 
     
     
     
    Fifty-nine graduates became generals during World War II, but none of that was clear at the time, especially not for the young Dwight Eisenhower, who graduated sixty-first in a class of 164. 
     
     
     
    During the 1920s into the early 1930s Eisenhower started to catch the eye of superiors and earned positions under the U.S. Army's leading lights. 
     
     
     
    Eisenhower joined the General Staff in Washington, DC, where he helped develop war plans and eventually became deputy chief of staff under George Marshall. When the time came to appoint a commander to execute the plans, Marshall knew Eisenhower was the man for the job. 
     
     
     
    Becoming Eisenhower is the story of a young man who first pursued the army for its free education, the story of an officer who was initially overlooked, the story of how General Eisenhower carried these experiences not only into Supreme Command but also the presidency.

    Self-Discipline - The Controlled...

    Self-discipline is the cornerstone of personal development and success. It is the ability to control one’s emotions, behaviors, and actions in the face of temptations and impulses. In a world filled with distractions and instant gratification, self-discipline becomes increasingly important. It is what allows individuals to make decisions that align with their long-term goals, even when immediate desires may try to pull them off course. 
    At its core, self-discipline is about the ability to focus on what is important, not just what is easy. It involves a deep understanding of personal values and the determination to act according to those values, regardless of external influences. People who possess self-discipline are able to say "no" to short-term pleasures and distractions in favor of achieving their greater objectives. Whether it’s choosing to exercise, staying on top of work deadlines, or resisting the temptation to procrastinate, self-discipline helps maintain the balance between immediate gratification and long-term success. 
    One of the key aspects of self-discipline is understanding that it is not an inherent trait, but rather a skill that can be developed over time. While some individuals may have a natural tendency toward discipline, anyone can cultivate this ability with practice and persistence. The first step in building self-discipline is recognizing the areas in life where improvement is needed and then committing to making changes. This often involves setting clear goals, developing strategies, and following through on commitments, even when it feels difficult or inconvenient.

    The Apocalypse of Mark is a Christian book written in the ancient style of apocalyptic literature designed to read like a short narrative book one would find in the Bible, like Job, Ruth, or Esther. Narrator John Mark presents a linear retelling of the Biblical meta-narrative, heavily quoting from and alluding to the Biblical text. Beginning prior to creation and ending in the "new heavens and earth" incorporating enigmatic Biblical passages, it demonstrates how they are indispensable to the overall redemption story. The text also offers the reader hope by exposing the Gospel of Jesus as the central focus of God's relational plan. The text is packed with theological teachings and shows how they are all interconnected. The author began the project by trying to solve the question, "Where do demons come from?" Bolstered by years of research, he presents his findings in a creative and engaging narrative style.
