Book excerpt: In Every Home a Fortress, Thomas Bishop details the remarkable cultural history and personal stories behind an iconic figure of Cold War masculinity -- the fallout shelter father, who, with spade in hand and the canned goods he has amassed, sought to save his family from atomic warfare. Putting policy documents and presidential addresses into conversation with previously unmined personal letters, diaries, local media coverage, and antinuclear ephemera, Bishop demonstrates that the nuclear crisis years of 1957 to 1963 were not just pivotal for the history of international relations but were also a transitional moment in the social histories of the white middle class and American fatherhood. During this era, public concerns surrounding civil defense shaped private family conversations, and the fallout shelter emerged as a site at which ideas of nationhood, national security, and masculinity collided with the complex reality of trying to raise and protect a family in the nuclear age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American evangelicals are known for focusing on the family, but the Quiverfull movement intensifies that focus in a significant way. Often called "Quiverfull" due to an emphasis on filling their "quivers" with as many children as possible (Psalm 127:5), such families are distinguishable by their practices of male-only leadership, homeschooling, and prolific childbirth. Their primary aim is "multigenerational faithfulness" - ensuring their descendants maintain Christian faith for many generations. Many believe this focus will lead to the Christianization of America in the centuries to come. Quivering Families is a first of its kind project that employs history, ethnography, and theology to explore the Quiverfull movement in America. The book considers a study of the movement's origins, its major leaders and institutions, and the daily lives of its families. Quivering Families argues that despite the apparent strangeness of their practice, Quiverfull is a thoroughly evangelical and American phenomenon. Far from offering a countercultural vision of the family, Quiverfull represents an intensification of longstanding tendencies. The movement reveals the weakness of evangelical theology of the family and underlines the need for more critical and creative approaches.

Book excerpt: This book is a series of works created to increase Healthy Living Alternative Awareness. The reason that I embarked upon uncovering the notion that “there had to be a better way” was due to some health challenges that I encountered. For many years I have mentored, coached, and encouraged those in my circle to be their absolute best. I learned the key was to discover and mend brokenness. Then my life took a dramatic turn; I was in a terrible car accident. I was told that I would not be able to resume what I love to do; teaching & helping others to achieve success. I went through two years of what I called “dating my doctors”. Yes, daily doctor visits to learn to walk, speak, think and even move again. I did not like how the Meds made me feel, I was terrified by the side effects, and I refused to believe that this was it for me. This was not my destiny, I believed that God purposed more for my life. I watched family member after family member die while being treated with prescription medications. I had to find a better way. We’ve all heard that insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result. My poor eating habits and lack of physical exercise had to change. What I discovered is that healthier choices can taste good and be fun to prepare. It takes time retraining the taste buds, however clean eating and healthy conscious living have major benefits, including a better quality of life. So, you know that voice on the inside of you that tells you the right thing to do. Well, my little inner guide has been guiding me toward holistic practices for many years. I finally answered the call and embarked upon studying and researching clean healthy nutrition.
