Soldiers go off to fight wars, but what happens to the women they leave behind? Over the span of two years, Roxanne Cibuzar located women who knew and loved men who served in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. She collected their untold stories and also asked about their “rules for life.” These amazing testaments are now compiled in Ordinary Women from Extraordinary Times. Katie, Corrine, Clara, Betty, and Loni are unique, ranging in age from sixty-seven to ninety-five. Their lives are history lessons on the unique eras in which they lived, but all their stories bring honor to the men who served to defend the United States. In the end, over the course of her interviews, Roxanne began to realize each woman’s life shared some common threads. Each woman had cultivated a heart for God. Their stories offer a glimpse into the past and into God’s faithful care, even amid turmoil, loss, and war.
1861 - 1866 It should not be. Young men marching off to war. Mothers and fathers left behind to worry. Sisters packing boxes of mittens, scarves and pies to send to their brothers on the fields. Young women with hopes of marriage and homes of their own left to wait and wonder if their dreams will ever come true. Yet it is the life of many as President Lincoln calls up Northern troops to keep Union together and the South prepares to defend their homes. Henry Harris cannot deny the call of duty. He puts on the Union blue and marches South to War. His family and beloved Olivia are left behind. Overnight, it seems, everything changes. Olivia cannot accept Henrys choice of duty over his love for her. Father is left to worry for his sons safety. Sister Sarah puts on a brave face, packs boxes full of good things, and tries her best to be an anchor as the waves of War wash over their lives. Henry must do his duty. As the years rush by, the South is destroyed and the North receives a battered victory. Letters from Henry are the only line connecting him to the changing lives of his family back home. But are those letters enough to protect the hearts of the ones he loves? Or will the many miles and long days of separation destroy all hopes and dreams?
Hildesheim is a mid-sized provincial town in northwest Germany. Ordinary Germans in Extraordinary Times is a carefully drawn account of how townspeople went about their lives and reacted to events during the Nazi era. Andrew Stuart Bergerson argues that ordinary Germans did in fact make Germany and Europe more fascist, more racist, and more modern during the 1930s, but they disguised their involvement behind a pre-existing veil of normalcy. Bergerson details a way of being, believing, and behaving by which "ordinary Germans" imagined their powerlessness and absence of responsibility even as they collaborated in the Nazi revolution. He builds his story on research that includes anecdotes of everyday life collected systematically from newspapers, literature, photography, personal documents, public records, and especially extensive interviews with a representative sample of residents born between 1900 and 1930. The book considers the actual customs and experiences of friendship and neighborliness in a German town before, during, and after the Third Reich. By analyzing the customs of conviviality in interwar Hildesheim, and the culture of normalcy these customs invoked, Bergerson aims to help us better understand how ordinary Germans transformed "neighbors" into "Jews" or "Aryans."

In October of 1756 Sarah Folkes wrote home to her children in London from Jamaica. Posted on the ship Europa, bound for London, her letter was one of around 350 that were never delivered due to an act of war; they remain together today in the National Archives in London. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times Sheryllynne Haggerty closely reads and analyses this collection of correspondence, exploring the everyday lives of poor and middling whites, free people of colour, and the enslaved in mid-eighteenth-century Jamaica – Britain’s wealthiest colony of the time – at the start of the Seven Years’ War. This unique cache of letters brings to life both thoughts and behaviours that even today appear quite modern: concerns over money, surviving in a war-torn world, family squabbles, poor physical and mental health, and a desire to purchase fashionable consumer goods. The letters also offer a glimpse into the impact of British colonialism on the island; Jamaica was a violent, cruel, and deadly materialistic place dominated by slavery from which all free people benefited, and it is clear that the start of the Seven Years’ War heightened the precariousness of enslaved peoples’ lives. Jamaica may have been Britain’s Caribbean jewel, but its society was heterogeneous and fractured along racial and socioeconomic lines. A rare study of microhistory, Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times paints a picture of daily life in Jamaica against the vast backdrop of transatlantic slavery, war, and the eighteenth-century British Empire.
This book observes distinguishing traits of twenty-first-century clergy who have of established churches that successfully reach unchurched people. It distills the results of a large-scale research project focused on successful pastors of newly-developed churches in seven mainline denominations across the U. S. Drawn from clergy focus groups and a survey of more than 700 effective pastors, this study elucidates key leadership qualities that transcend denominational differences. Four experts -- H. Stanley Wood, Carl S. Dudley, Darrell L. Guder, and Robert S. Hoyt -- interpret the data, placing the findings in the context of church history, current religious demographics, theories of leadership, and comparison with the FACT study (the largest study of worshipping communities ever undertaken). An extensive addendum provides profiles of successful new churches and denominational differences.
