Summary

In "The Life of Friedrich Schiller," Thomas Carlyle presents a profound exploration of the life and works of the German playwright and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. Utilizing a biographical narrative interwoven with philosophical insights, Carlyle emphasizes Schiller's development as a thinker and cultural force during the tumultuous period of post-Napoleonic Europe. The literary style is emblematic of Carlyle's characteristic blend of passionate prose and keen analytical observation, drawing heavily on Schiller's own works and the socio-political context that shaped them. This work not only serves as a biography but also as a commentary on the interconnectedness of art, ethics, and revolution, marking Carlyle's writing as a significant contribution to 19th-century Romantic literature. Thomas Carlyle, a prominent Scottish essayist and historian, was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment ideals that underpinned Schiller's writings. Carlyle's own struggles with existential themes, the nature of heroism, and the role of artistic expression in society positioned him to appreciate Schiller's contributions to literature. His admiration for German culture and philosophy, alongside his advocacy for social reform, is palpable throughout this biography, offering readers insights into both men's quests for meaning and impact. With its rich historical context and lyrical prose, "The Life of Friedrich Schiller" invites readers to reflect not only on Schiller's legacy but also on the broader implications of artistic expression in shaping societal values. This work is essential for those interested in German literature, the Romantic era, and the interconnected histories of art and politics.

    God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. 
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. 
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. 
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.

    A quintessential American dream story from a Mexican entrepreneur who shares the tale of building a multi-million-dollar business from scratch, complete with both success and failure, and always a vision of hope. 
 
 
 
Leal came to the US penniless as a teenager, speaking almost no English; he literally slept in the boiler room of a Wisconsin cheese factory for months before he was caught. Through hard work, grit, and ingenuity Leal would go on to launch his own business. He is widely credited with introducing Mexican cheeses to the US market and grew his company to a multi-million-dollar success story that defined an industry. 
 
 
 
Yet, like many successful entrepreneurs, Leal's great successes were matched by personal failures: the end of a marriage; trouble with law enforcement; and the deeply felt sense that there must be something more to life than great wealth. Leal's memoir, The House that Cheese Built, is both a quintessential immigrant success story—one that beautifully illustrates the immigrant experiences: isolation, fear, and ambition for a better life and assimilation—as well as a thoughtful personal account of entrepreneurship and all its benefits and costs.
