Book Description
Pope Saint John Paul II calls us! "Family, become what you are!" We desire an ideal, but so often it seems beyond our grasp. You can draw closer to that ideal daily. You can be awesome. You can be the family you want to be. When you started a family, were you thinking this? "I hope that each morning, I can wake up to the sound of bickering. It is my desire to yell at my children, and that we barely speak a civil word to each other. I want deep resentment for my vocation and to be irritable most of the time. My goal is to have my sanity hanging by a thread. I think wheedling, bargaining and threatening my kids is an effective means of gaining their cooperation." I didn't think so. This book will encourage you in your vocation, lift your spirits and help you to be the family you want to be. This book will help you and your children get to heaven. We all intend to be thoughtful, reasonable parents when we set out on the journey. We don't know how low we can sink sometimes, in the business of raising children. Often we are left wondering how on earth we got off that track, full of idealism and good intentions. It's a tough job, and you're tired. Exhausted. Physically and emotionally. How can we get out of the rut? Stop spinning our wheels? Get back on track? Parents are primarily concerned with the kind of people their children will grow up to be. Here's the good news: Raising good kids is less about technique and more about how you choose to live your life. Mercy is an outpouring of kindness - a generosity of spirit. Mercy is contagious, infectious...start an epidemic in your own home. Better yet, start a revolution. A Revolution of Mercy.

Book Description
Catharine Macaulay and Mercy Otis Warren were radical friends in a revolutionary age. They produced definitive histories of the English Civil War and the American Revolution, attacked the British government and the United States federal constitution, and instigated a debate on women's rights which inspired Mary Wollstonecraft, Judith Sargent Murray, and other feminists. Drawing on new research (including recently discovered correspondence) this is the first book to consider Macaulay and Warren in the context of the revolutionary Atlantic. In a series of detailed interdisciplinary studies, Davies suggests the centrality of both women to transatlantic political cultures between the middle of the eighteenth century and the turn of the nineteenth. The experience of Anglo-American conflict formed Macaulay and Warren's friendship and radically changed their writing lives. In showing how it did so, Davies also explains how the revolutionary Atlantic shaped modern ideas of gender difference. Anglo-American separation had a politics of gender which defined Warren and Macaulay's awareness of themselves as women and of which their writing also offered important critiques. Davies's book reveals the political significance of Mercy Otis Warren and Catharine Macaulay to an era when the truths of patriotism, nationhood and empire were never wholly self-evident but were hotly contested.

Book Description
Some 37,000 soldiers from six German principalities, collectively remembered as Hessians, entered service as British auxiliaries in the American War of Independence. At times, they constituted a third of the British army in North America, and thousands of them were imprisoned by the Americans. Despite the importance of Germans in the British war effort, historians have largely overlooked these men. Drawing on research in German military records and common soldiers’ letters and diaries, Daniel Krebs places the prisoners on center stage in A Generous and Merciful Enemy, portraying them as individuals rather than simply as numbers in casualty lists. Setting his account in the context of British and European politics and warfare, Krebs explains the motivations of the German states that provided contract soldiers for the British army. We think of the Hessians as mercenaries, but, as he shows, many were conscripts. Some were new recruits; others, veterans. Some wanted to stay in the New World after the war. Krebs further describes how the Germans were made prisoners, either through capture or surrender, and brings to life their experiences in captivity from New England to Havana, Cuba. Krebs discusses prison conditions in detail, addressing both the American approach to war prisoners and the prisoners’ responses to their experience. He assesses American efforts as a “generous and merciful enemy” to use the prisoners as economic, military, and propagandistic assets. In the process, he never loses sight of the impact of imprisonment on the POWs themselves. Adding new dimensions to an important but often neglected topic in military history, Krebs probes the origins of the modern treatment of POWs. An epilogue describes an almost-forgotten 1785 treaty between the United States and Prussia, the first in western legal history to regulate the treatment of prisoners of war.
