That has changed with Harlow Giles Unger’s The Last Founding Father: James Monroe and a Nation’s Call to Greatness ( Da Capo Press, Paperback, 2010). James Monroe is the forgotten Founding Father, overshadowed by his predecessors in the Presidency – George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison – denigrated as a simple man whose accomplishments were credited to others, and relegated to the background of history because he hasn’t had the same justice done to his legacy by historians and biographers of the past 200 years. “ He was entitled to say, like Augustus Caesar of his imperial city, that he had found her built of brick and left her constructed of marble.” – John Quincy Adams, eulogizing James Monroe in the House of Representatives, 1831 The Last Founding Father: James Monroe and a Nation’s Call to Greatness ![]() REVIEW: The Last Founding Father by Harlow Giles Unger ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Lewis mere christianity![]() ![]() “God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.” ― C.S. “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” ― C.S. “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” ― C.S.

Merikan![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a wonderful thing to be part of the AAPI community, and what being AAPI means to me is ensuring others know that it is a wonderful thing, too. Recognizing that our identity is multidimensional and uplifting that multidimensional-ness is what makes society so rich. I don’t think there should be a dissonance between the two. It seems that I am American when I am in the Philippines, but I am Filipina when I am in America. What AAPI heritage month means to me is celebrating the harmony created from the songs of my cultures. I have been awarded the opportunity to look at everything through a diverse lens and understand the nuances that come with unique cultural and ethnic competencies. Though I am elated we are progressing toward a future that acknowledges diversity and values differences, I know others can relate when I say adapting is a survival skill. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Ernesto diaz paula allende![]() ![]() In her agonized self-questioning after she finally concedes defeat and surrenders her daughter to death, Isabel strips to her core in the presence of her brother Juan, who has become a priest:.She was survived by her husband, Ernesto Diaz, and other family members. ![]() The novel includes accounts both of Paula's treatment and of Allende's life, sometimes overlapping with the content of Allende's first novel, The House of the Spirits.
