Modernity’s best-selling history book author, David McCullough, knew how to tell a factual story that did not leave his readers yawning or pining for a thriller.

Book Review: ‘The Masculinity Manifesto: How a Man Establishes Influence, Credibility, & Authority’
In his refreshingly candid book, “The Masculinity Manifesto: How a Man Establishes Influence, Credibility, & Authority,” Ryan Michler, the host of the Order of Man podcast (downloaded over 45 million times) argues that masculinity should be celebrated and nurtured rather than denigrated and eliminated.

Abdiel and Lucifer on the Question of Freedom
What is freedom? Is freedom the ability to do whatever we want whenever we want? Or is freedom directly connected to our ability to control ourselves?

Book Review: ‘A Man of Iron: The Turbulent Life and Improbable Presidency of Grover Cleveland’
Grover Cleveland often gets categorized as a president of trivial significance. Trivial as in trivia. He is known as the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms, the only president to get married inside the White House, and a president who underwent a secret and potentially life-saving surgery on a yacht. He was also the…
A.A. Milne: The Wisdom of Winnie the Pooh

Book Review: ‘La Duchesse: The Life of Marie de Vignerot, Cardinal Richelieu’s Forgotten Heiress Who Shaped the Fate of France’
I’ve reviewed several books in the past focused on inspiring and powerful women like Florence Finch, a Filipina-American who risked her life to help American prisoners of war in Manila during World War II, and Maryland’s Virginia Hall who was a spy during that same war for the British and the Americans.
