Peace, many would agree, is a goal that democratic nations should strive to achieve. But is democracy, in fact, dependent on war to survive? Having spent their celebrated careers exploring this provocative question, John Ferejohn and Frances McCall Rosenbluth trace the surprising ways in which governments have mobilized armies since antiquity, discovering that our modern form of democracy not only evolved in a brutally competitive environment but also quickly disintegrated when the powerful elite no longer needed their citizenry to defend against existential threats. Bringing to vivid life the major battles that shaped our current political landscape, the authors begin with the fierce warrior states of Athens and the Roman Republic. While these experiments in “mixed government” would serve as a basis for the bargain between politics and protection at the heart of modern democracy, Ferejohn and Rosenbluth brilliantly chronicle the generations of bloodshed that it would take for the world’s dominant states to hand over power to the people. In fact, for over a thousand years, even as medieval empires gave way to feudal Europe, the king still ruled. Not even the advancements of gunpowder—which decisively tipped the balance away from the cavalry-dominated militaries and in favor of mass armies—could threaten the reign of monarchs and “landed elites” of yore. The incredibly wealthy, however, were not well equipped to handle the massive labor classes produced by industrialization. As we learn, the Napoleonic Wars stoked genuine, bottom-up nationalism and pulled splintered societies back together as “commoners” stepped up to fight for their freedom. Soon after, Hitler and Stalin perfectly illustrated the military limitations of dictatorships, a style of governance that might be effective for mobilizing an army but not for winning a world war. This was a lesson quickly heeded by the American military, who would begin to reinforce their ranks with minorities in exchange for greater civil liberties at home. Like Francis Fukuyama and Jared Diamond’s most acclaimed works, Forged Through Fire concludes in the modern world, where the “tug of war” between the powerful and the powerless continues to play out in profound ways. Indeed, in the covert battlefields of today, drones have begun to erode the need for manpower, giving politicians even less incentive than before to listen to the demands of their constituency. With American democracy’s flanks now exposed, this urgent examination explores the conditions under which war has promoted one of the most cherished human inventions: a government of the people, by the people, for the people. The result promises to become one of the most important history books to emerge in our time.

God Wants to Do Great Things Through You, But Whether or Not That Happens Depends Upon Who You Allow to Shape Your Life. Do You Insist on Following Your Own Imperfect Pattern for Change or Are You Willing to Allow God to Fashion Your Life Into a Masterpiece with His Signature? David Met God Through His Provision in the Wilderness, and it Forever Changed Him Into "a Man After God's Own Heart." a Man Who "Served God's Purpose in His Own Generation." Joseph Met God in the Dreams or His Youth, and When Those Dreams Were Finally Fulfilled, a Self-Important Young Man Was Transformed Into the Humble Leader of the Most Powerful Kingdom on Earth. You Could Say They Were Forged in the Fire As They Were Shaped by the Master. God Used the Difficult Circumstances in the Lives of Both David and Joseph to Prepare Them for What He Wanted to do Through Them. He Can do the Same for You, But Only When You Relinquish Control of Your Life and Thrust Yourself Blindly Into His Hands. It Doesn't Matter Whether You Are a Person Who Is Struggling Just to Know Who God is and How He Wants to Be a Part of Your Life; A New Christian Who is Growing in Your Faith; a Christian Who Feels Stuck in the Events Life Has Thrown Across Your Path; or a Christian Who Has Drifted From God's Purpose and Allowed the Fire in Your Heart to Dwindle to a Pile of Cooling Embers. Your Decision Will Determine Your Destiny. Life is Full of Trials and Circumstances That Are Beyond Your Control. The Way You Respond is Your Choice. When You Learn to Recognize God's Hand In Each Event of Your Life, You Can be Forever Fashioned Into a Person Who Serves His Purpose in Your Own Generation. That is Being Forged in the Fire -- Shaped by the Master. Book jacket.

This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'" Zechariah 13:9 NIVMany times in life, in ways that are far from our comprehension, God employs trials to purify our hearts and refine our minds. Forged By Fire: Built God Tough is an all-female testament, that illuminates the refining process. These 21 courageous women, have been tried and tested, through virtually unconquerable circumstances, but have emerged POWERFUL, UNRELENTING, REFINED, and are sharing their stories as testimonies to the miraculous power of God.These stories are from all walks of life, from women of differing backgrounds, races, socioeconomic status, and so forth. But they have one thing in common, their unyielding love for God and His love for them. Come, walk with us through the REFINER'S FIRE and witness how He now presents us as pure gold, radiating His reflection.Visionary: Ketrice KeysForeword Author- Dawn LieckFeatured Author- Kearn CherryFeatured Author- Sheila FarrFeatured Author- Dr. Shadaria AllisonContributing Authors:Queen ColeTiffany S.
