A generation ago it was understood that men and women were unique, yet interdependent, and designed by God to be that way. Today, the woke crowd wants you to believe masculinity is “toxic.” In his first book, Lawrence embarks on a thorough examination of who is doing the attacking and why. Informed by his travels across the country for Fox News, Lawrence explains how confused progressives are about manhood—and how powerful the need is to set the record straight.

Story
To understand the differences between British and American culture, you must understand that the two countries have everything in common except the language itself. The line has been blurred in the technological age, as we see US English words crop up increasingly in the UK. However, the bulk of the British English language has stayed true to its original form. Across the entirety of the British Isles, the language shifts, and changes to suit the current town or city of the occupant.

In Speaking with the Dead in Early America, historian Erik R. Seeman undertakes a 300-year history of Protestant communication with the dead. Seeman chronicles the story of Protestants' relationships with the deceased from Elizabethan England to puritan New England and then on through the American Enlightenment into the middle of the nineteenth century with the explosion of interest in Spiritualism. He brings together a wide range of sources to uncover the beliefs and practices of both ordinary people, especially women, and religious leaders.

Story
French Boy / A 1950s Franco-American Childhood is an insightful memoir of a young life both at the margins and at the center of the 1950s American experience. Born in 1947, Denis Ledoux had a mid-twentieth-century youth that almost seems to have been lived in another country and another century, but it is typical of what many Franco-Americans born in his generation experienced. French Boy explores much: the developmental stages of childhood; family dynamics, bilingualism, acculturation and assimilation, alienation and shame. Told by a third-generation Franco, this life story is set in a ...
