This world is changing day by day, hour by hour, second by second. Eradication of Christian principles and Christian ethics is exactly what has brought our country to its knees. The response of the Christian calling for a return to morality is nothing more than a scream into the dark. Our great country was founded by the Divine Providence of God. Men and women of faith, fleeing from tyranny, risking it all, were guided here by the hand of our Creator. Only with truth and the authority of the Word of God can morality be anchored, evil understood, and the soul restored. Have we come so far that there is no turning back?James D. Brewer, now retired, worked for Eastman Kodak Company for 35 years, finishing his career as an electrical engineer in Kodak's Space Systems Division. He is a devout Christian who cares very much for our country. The Christian values that once guided our great country have rapidly diminished with each decade since the 1950s. He lives in Pennsylvania with Maggie, the love of his life. They have been together for 41 years.

In 1807, Thomas Worthington was born into a wealthy and powerful Ohio family. Though his path in life should have led to fortune and prestige, he died alone and penniless, having spent his life and his fortune trying to remove the stain of shame from his reputation and name. This is the previously untold story of Worthington, West Point graduate, leader of men in both the Mexican War and War Between the States, and bitter enemy of the man who would ruin his life--General William Tecumseh Sherman. As commander of the 46th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Worthington valiantly led his men into battle at Shiloh, but his knowledge of Sherman's blunders, both before and during the battle, resulted in his being illegally court-martialed and cashiered out of the Army. The last twenty years of his life were spent in a desperate quest to tell his side of the story, the true events of Shiloh as he saw them. Colonel Worthington's story is one of war, both public and personal, honor, and a quest for vindication. Photographs and maps illustrate Worthington's dramatic life and struggle.

During 1862, a pivotal year in the war between the American states, three cavalry leaders led cavalry raids that had both immediate and long-term effects. This book examines the tactics that made each raid more or less successful as well as how the different leadership styles impacted the missions.
