  • What In God's Name Are We Doing? - A Modern Examination of Economics Society and Global Power Structures - cover

    What In God's Name Are We Doing?...

    What In God's Name Are We Doing? is a direct and uncompromising examination of modern society and the systems that shape our lives. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, lived experience, and practical observation, this book challenges the assumptions we take for granted about government, education, work, money, mental health, and our relationship with nature. 
    Rather than arguing from political allegiance or ideology, it asks a more fundamental question: how did we build a world that feels increasingly disconnected from purpose, meaning, and one another? The book explores how division, hierarchy, and the pursuit of money have come to dominate human life, often at the expense of quality, community, and well-being. 
    Moving beyond critique, it invites the reader to consider a different way forward—one rooted in cooperation, simplicity, durability, and respect for natural systems. Without calling for violence, revolution, or authority, it focuses on internal change, shared values, and practical shifts in how we live and build our world. 
    This book is for readers who are willing to question deeply held assumptions, think beyond partisan narratives, and ask what it would mean to live in alignment with purpose, responsibility, and love.

  • Abraham Lincoln’s Greatest Speeches: The History of the Addresses that Changed America - cover

    Abraham Lincoln’s Greatest...

    Abraham Lincoln was still not considered a real option for the Republican presidential nomination until he delivered a speech at New York City’s Cooper Union in February 1860, just a few months before the Republicans’ convention in May. Lincoln had gained a bit of a national profile by debating Stephen Douglas during an Illinois Senate Race in 1858, and though he lost that election, Lincoln continued discussing the same themes, most notably slavery and Dred Scott in his Cooper Union speech. Although just 7,000 words long, the Cooper Union Address was almost universally praised in the North. 
    Over 160 years later, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is still considered arguably the greatest speech in American history. The address only took a few minutes, but in those few minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence. In the process, he redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, ensure that democracy would remain a viable form of government, and would also create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant.  
    Lincoln wasn’t given a chance to finish his work, but his thoughts and visions were eloquently saved for posterity in his Second Inaugural Address, delivered a month before his death and considered one of America’s greatest speeches. With the war nearing the end, Lincoln struck a conciliatory tone, reminding both sides that they prayed to the same God for victory and that neither side could divine God’s will. “With malice toward none, with charity for all,” Lincoln called for peace and reunion, his eye clearly on Reconstruction. Nobody will ever know how Lincoln would’ve managed Reconstruction, but in many respects, the Second Inaugural Address was a fitting postscript of sorts to his life and legacy.
