From mid-August to mid-September 1863, Union major general William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland maneuvered from Tennessee to north Georgia in a bid to rout Confederate general Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee and blaze the way for further Union advances.

Fire seems to require a “friend or foe” screening, doesn’t it? Let’s be honest, the flames that warm can equally harm. Maybe you have the same dilemma getting close to God, the one described in scripture as “the all-consuming fire”? Is he friend or foe? Would you run to him or from him? But what if God really is trustworthy? What if, up close to the fire of his love, he warms your heart and shapes your life for the wonder and purpose always meant for you? Isn’t that a fire worth running to and a forge worth entering?

Keats commenced writing his epic poem, Hyperion, in 1818 and ceased working on it in the spring of 1819. He said that he gave the project up for having "too many Miltonic inversions." The unfinished poem, which ceases in the middle of the third canto, was published in 1820. The narrative is based on the Titanomachia, or War of the Titans, and describes the aftermath of their fall to the Olympian Gods.

The book of Jeremiah, like all other Old Testament books, is a mystery that God intends for us to solve. Judah has fallen in sin. God sends the army from the North (Babylon) to destroy them for their sins. Judah goes into captivity for seventy years. Eventually, God punishes Babylon and sends Zerubbabel and Ezra to guide his people back to Jerusalem. There is more to this story that meets the immediate eye. Surface lessons exist, no doubt, but there is a bigger picture that involves the gospel of Jesus Christ (truth) (Colossians 2:16-17 and Hebrews 8:1-5).

This book is a way to think about thriving by using a different lens. One thing that author John R. Robertson has learned from the many first responders he has worked with is a quality they called "muscle memory". The premise is simply that one trains so frequently that when they are faced with something challenging, they do not react, they respond. Their muscle memory takes over to the extent that they can react in the opposite way from most normal (untrained) humans. They are able to run toward the roar instead of the normal reaction of running away from it.
