Finding a high school Christian history curriculum that will engage your child can be difficult because most books seemingly stop either at the Civil War or at World War II. They fail to tell children about any of the major events that took place in modern history.
Most people think the McDonald brothers of California started the fast-food craze in America, but in reality, it was the White Castle hamburger chain that actually started fast food history in America. J. Walter Anderson opened the first White Castle in 1916 in Wichita, Kansas, and people liked the cheap hamburgers, fries, and cola's he offered.
With a rich history and industrial boom not seen before in the last few hundred years, America, a young country in comparison to European countries, has had its fair share of history, invention and of course, locks. Anyone familiar with the history of America is sure to know the influence of the English in its early days.
Today, more than at any other time since its founding, the possibility exists for a new spiritual awakening to take place within America that will bring her back to the integrity and purity of the spiritual principles upon which she was founded. These principles that combine within themselves the most fundamental human concerns with the most elevated consciousness of eternal truths, have become tarnished in their application over years and decades of misuse, until they are easy to give lip-service to but difficult to see in the fullness of their application.

Can fascism really happen in America? Even worse, has the country already begun a shift towards fascism, not unlike Nazi Germany or Chile under Augusto Pinochet? If so, how can we know that these dangers have arrived, and what can we do to combat hem? These are the questions that Naomi Wolf proposes to answer in her new book, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot.

Perhaps John Steele Gordon is really Flash Gordon in disguise, because I always seem to read his books at lightning speed, assimilating this 260 page trade paperback in a matter of just a few days.
