Sinopse

In "Leaves From the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands, From 1848 to 1861," Queen Victoria offers a fascinating glimpse into her personal life and the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands during a transformative period in British history. Her journal entries, characterized by a candid and intimate literary style, intertwine observations on family life, royal duties, and moments of deep reflection. This work captures the essence of nature's grandeur and the tranquility the Highland landscape provided the Queen, against the backdrop of industrializing Britain and political turmoil, thus positioning the narrative within a broader Victorian context. As a reigning monarch and a figure of significant historical importance, Queen Victoria wrote this journal to document her experiences and emotions, often seeking solace in the rugged beauty of Scotland. Her intimate reflections reveal her complex personality, including her struggles with grief following the loss of her beloved husband, Prince Albert. The journal stands as both a personal chronicle and a royal commentary, showcasing her deep appreciation for the Scottish culture and land while reinforcing her role as a symbol of the empire. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in royal history, Victorian literature, and the intermingling of personal introspection with broader sociopolitical themes. Queen Victoria's eloquent prose and evocative descriptions invite readers into her world, making it a valuable resource for understanding the nuances of her reign and personal life.

    She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. 
    How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story - starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher - with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

  • The Children We Left Behind - How Western Culture Rationalizes Family Separation & Ignores The Pain Of Child Neglect - cover

    The Children We Left Behind -...

    Nearly every major social problem in the West can be traced back to our declining appreciation for the nuclear family structure and our failure to plan for families properly. Our culture has shifted from prioritizing sacrifice for the benefit of innocent children to catering to the fleeting desires of the adults who bring them into the world. 
    As a result, family separation has become commonplace, and what we consider normal is often rationalized, even when it harms our children. The culture of radical individualism among adults has left children to bear the consequences of their parents' choices. 
    I was once that child who was left behind, neglected by his father, and witnessed his mother shoulder the load for our survival. My father's choice to abandon me physically and emotionally contributed to my decades of struggle with depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. 
    Unfortunately, my experience of homelessness, mental hospital incarceration, and perpetual internal strife is no longer rare. However, our stories are often ignored, and we avoid holding accountable the parents who have failed us. 
    If we are to change our culture's trajectory, we must sacrifice our pride and prioritize the needs of our children over our own selfish desires. Our children must come first, or they will come last-there is no middle ground.

    God's Plan: For Heaven Eternity...

    I would like to begin by thanking my wonderful wife, Pamela, for continually encouraging me to write this book. 
    The title of this book, God's Plan for Heaven, Eternity, and the Universe Explained, is exactly that. This book will help you to easily understand God's plan from the beginning of creation all the way to when the human race is over and everyone is living inside eternity with God or separated from God. The only thing that matters for every human being is eternity, and all of God's plan is about how to know him and spend it with him. This book is very different. It is written for everyone, from people with little or no Bible knowledge to even people with advanced knowledge of the Bible who will learn things that most have never even thought about before. 
    God creating human beings, despite knowing we would sin against him from the very beginning and be born with a sinful nature, is by far the greatest thing God has ever done and will probably be the greatest thing he will ever do in all of eternity. The pleasure we bring him is incalculable, as you will see. This book will help you to understand not only what God has done in his plan, but more importantly why he has done it the way he has done it. Many will think this book is simply my opinion, but everything in this book is based directly on God's word in the Bible or indirectly based on what God has done according to his direct word in the Bible.
