    A searing chronicle of ambition, brutality, and collapse, Broken Supremacy: The Rise and Fall of the Wehrmacht in Russia reveals the untold dimensions of the most catastrophic military campaign in modern history. 
    At the height of its power, the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an unstoppable force, an army honed on lightning victories, driven by a doctrine of speed and annihilation. Yet on the vast, unforgiving battlefields of the Eastern Front, that supremacy was shattered. This groundbreaking work peels back the myths to expose the flawed strategies, fatal hubris, and relentless resistance that led to the Wehrmacht’s disintegration against the Soviet war machine. 
    Drawing on newly unearthed archives, soldiers’ testimonies, and penetrating analysis, the book traces the Wehrmacht’s trajectory from its initial triumphs in 1941 to its devastating reversals at Stalingrad, Kursk, and beyond. It examines the interplay between ideology and strategy, the limitations of military innovation, and the human toll of a conflict that claimed millions of lives. More than a military history, it is an unflinching portrait of a regime’s overreach and the resilience of those who resisted it. 
    Written with cinematic immediacy and scholarly authority, Broken Supremacy illuminates how the Wehrmacht’s rise carried the seeds of its downfall, and why its defeat in Russia sealed the fate of Nazi Germany itself.

In this book, he shares his journey and reveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church. 
     
     
     
    Whitehead shows how Christians harm their neighbors when they embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence.

Through stories, he illuminates expressions of Christianity that confront Christian nationalism and offer a faithful path forward. 
     
     
     
    American Idolatry encourages further conversation about what Christian nationalism threatens, how to face it, and why it is vitally important to do so. It will help identify Christian nationalism and build a framework that makes sense of the relationship between faith and the current political and cultural context.

    Harmony - The Balanced Coexistence

    Harmony is the delicate balance that governs the universe, present in nature, relationships, and even within ourselves. It is not merely the absence of conflict but a state where opposing forces coexist in a way that fosters growth and stability. From the rhythmic flow of the seasons to the intricate balance of ecosystems, harmony ensures that everything functions in a synchronized and sustainable manner. 
    In many ancient philosophies, harmony is considered the key to a fulfilled life. Eastern traditions such as Taoism emphasize the importance of living in alignment with the natural flow of the universe, often referred to as the Tao. Similarly, Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato believed in the mathematical and moral symmetry of existence. Across cultures, the idea of balance as a foundation for well-being has been deeply ingrained in spiritual and philosophical teachings. 
    In nature, harmony manifests through the interplay of elements. Water nourishes the land, the sun provides warmth, and the wind shapes the terrain. Each component of the natural world relies on another to maintain equilibrium. Predators and prey, flora and fauna, all exist within an intricate web where every action influences the greater whole. When this balance is disrupted—whether by natural disasters or human intervention—the consequences ripple through the environment, leading to instability.

    Philosophy in Ancient Greece:...

    In virtually all fields of human endeavor, ancient Greece was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day. In the field of medicine, the great physician Hippocrates not only advanced the practical knowledge of human anatomy and caregiving but changed the entire face of the medical profession. The great philosophers of Athens, men like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, interrogated themselves with startling complexity about the nature of good and evil, questioned the existence of divinity, advocated intelligent design, and went so far as to argue that all life was composed of infinitesimal particles.  
    	Although the school of philosophy started by Socrates and championed by Plato and Aristotle continues to be the most famous, other schools of thought began to branch, including the Epicureans and Cynics. In the 3rd century B.C., Stoicism arose in response to and under the influence of these older schools, combining many of the best theories from each into a more cohesive whole. With a greater flexibility and more practical application to everyday life, Stoicism quickly became a very popular school of thought, a growth made exponential by its introduction to the Romans.  
    Today, very few have heard of him, but he became a major philosophical and religious figure through the publication of his thoughts, travels, and miracles by Philostratus the Elder (c. 170-247 A.D.), written about a century after Apollonius of Tyana’s death. Philostratus the Elder’s works were based on the works of other writers (Maximus of Aegae, Damis, and Moeragenes), and miracles attributed to Apollonius were often compared to those of Jesus, who lived around the same time.
