    This history shines a light on America’s “first civil war”: the bloody conflict in Kansas Territory between abolitionists and proslavery extremists. Long before the secession crisis at Fort Sumter ignited the War between the States, men fought and died on the prairies of Kansas over the incendiary issue of slavery. The bitter conflict was described in the Atchison Squatter Sovereign newspaper as “war to the knife and knife to the hilt.”  In 1854 a shooting war developed between proslavery men from Missouri and free-staters in Kansas over control of the territory. The prize was whether Kansas would become a slave or a free state when admitted to the Union, a question that could decide the balance of power in Washington.  War to the Knife is an absorbing account of this bloody episode in our nation's past, told in the unforgettable words of the men and women involved: Robert E. Lee, William Tecumseh Sherman, Sara Robinson, Jeb Stuart, Abraham Lincoln, William F. Cody, and John Brown—the abolitionist who was hailed by some as a prophet, and denounced as a madman by others.

    In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China. 
This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism. 
There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways. 
The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie. 
This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives. 
I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.) 
There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.

Written by a relationship specialist, this book offers practical strategies to help you break free from toxic push-pull dynamics. It focuses on building healthy communication, security, and a deeper connection with your partner. This guide will help you understand your relationship patterns and foster a healthier, and more fulfilling connection.

    All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
 
    
 
Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
 
  
  
Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.

    The Koran and the Flesh

    Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed

    A childhood marked by religion classes, his passion for the Koran, his father's homophobia and his impulses, Ludovic-Lotfi Zahed is the author of an unpublished and rare book on the possible reconciliation between homosexuality and Islam. The man who, as a teenager, turned away from a religion that rejected him, who became a Salafist out of love for his brother in religion—he was unaware of his homosexuality at the time—is today an adult who has matured, a moderate Muslim who returned to his initial positions, denouncing the corruption that reigns within Islam, the quest for power between Salafists and Muslim extremists.
In a remarkably well-written book, halfway between biography and essay, he explains how he lived through the discovery of his homosexuality. He tells of the many questions of identity that followed, the rejection of his Salafist "brothers" who were disturbed by his effeminate attitude and the relationships of domination within the Muslim community. In his analysis, which appears in the background, the author wonders: Why such a need for universal normalization among his Muslim brothers? Why such a need for gregarious living? Why do they never talk about the well-being of the other?
The Koran, a stake in the fratricidal wars of those who use religion as a weapon, is a real bargaining chip for dogmatic Muslims. Very early on, he confided in me: “I was astonished by the way in which it is possible to ‘buy’ the respect of a brother by quoting two or three well-felt verses, followed by the commentary of an ulama, a pillar of Islamic law." The Koran and the Flesh is a testimony of an unsuspected richness which, beyond the question of homosexuality, deals with the more ignored aspect of the life of a nearly ordinary Muslim in France.
