Summary

In "Daring and Suffering," William Pittenger presents a gripping narrative that intertwines adventure and faith against the backdrop of the American Civil War. This work recounts the daring espionage missions carried out by Union soldiers, specifically focusing on the remarkable tale of the Great Locomotive Chase of 1862. Pittenger'Äôs literary style blends vivid imagery with a compelling first-person perspective, immersing readers in the harrowing experiences of heroism and sacrifice. His prose reflects the valor associated with wartime exploits while capturing the somber realities of conflict, situating the work within the tradition of war literature that seeks to inspire and provoke reflection on human courage and resilience. William Pittenger, a soldier and a member of the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, draws directly from his experiences in the war, which informs the authenticity and urgency of his narrative. After participating in the audacious locomotive raid, Pittenger became deeply invested in chronicling the efforts and sacrifices of his fellow soldiers. His background as a clergyman also imbues the text with themes of divine providence and moral inquiry, showcasing his unique perspective as both a soldier and a man of faith. "Daring and Suffering" is a must-read for those intrigued by historical narratives that exemplify the complexities of war and the human spirit. It appeals to history enthusiasts, literature lovers, and anyone seeking inspiration through tales of bravery and determination. Pittenger's vivid storytelling not only honors the legacy of those who fought but also acts as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

    American Leftovers is the story of Heidi, Eric, and Shaun, three children who follow their parents through eastern Europe on Bible-smuggling adventures in the early 1970s. When they return to the States, they face third-culture questions of home and identity. They also deal with sexual situations and abuse, while settling into an evangelical bubble with their parents who pastor a fast-growing church. Everything collapses when their father runs off with an eighteen-year-old girl, leaving behind his family and church. This forces Heidi, Eric, and Shaun to reconcile their own spiritual fervor with the lies and dysfunction so close to home.

    In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know. 
Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society. 
We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book. 
We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.  
As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.

  • Ancient History - A Comprehensive Guide to the Ancient Worlds of India Greece and Egypt - cover

    Ancient History - A...

    This combo book consists of 3 titles about the following topics: 
1: History of India - The history of India is long and complicated. It dates back to thousands of years before Christ, according to historical analysts, and it involves wars, peoples, different spiritual movements, claims of independence, merging of empires, and various cultural aspects. 
In this study guide, we will try to shed some light on the development of this area of the world. We’ll talk about the bronze age, the iron age, medieval times in India, the early modern period, and the 20th century developments. To understand a part of the world with such a huge part of the entire world population (more than a 1.38 billion currently), is to understand way more about world history itself. Therefore, I invite you to get started right away and learn more. 
2: Ancient Greece - Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. 
Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. 
3: Ancient Egypt - When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization.
