  Spiritual Fitness and the Quiet Power of July 2 Some dates announce themselves with fireworks. Others hum with a quieter, steadier power—like July 2. Long before the ink dried on the Declaration of Independence, July 2 marked the vote that set a nation’s soul in motion. A century and a half later, it bore witness to the Civil Rights Act of 1964—where dignity defied division and conscience reshaped law. From the unification of Vietnam to the birth of voices like Thurgood Marshall and Medgar Evers, July 2 is a day braided with ethical resolve, moral imagination, and collective rebirth. These milestones didn’t just alter policy. They transformed people. They carved deeper grooves of spiritual and psychological fitness—teaching us how to rise, reckon, and rebuild from within. At MSI Press, we believe in that kind of transformation—the kind that begins not in spectacle, but in quiet personal revolution. Many of our books echo this evolution; to wit: The Rose and the Sword (Bach ...

I attended college on a full scholarship, and that scholarship money could not be used for study abroad programs. If I wanted to go abroad, I would have had to pay my own way. As the eldest of eight children of a shoe-cutter and a part-time farmer, that was simply not possible. I was already working nearly half-time just to afford clothing and cover expenses not included in my scholarship. So, I learned my languages in the classroom. And I held my own—often outperforming those who had studied abroad. By the time I completed graduate studies in comparative literature and later enlisted in the U.S. Army, I had reached Level 4 proficiency in two languages and Level 3 in another two, as measured by the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT...
