The Pivot of Civilization was published in 1922. It contains
Margaret Sanger's belief that civilization rises or falls on how it
views the 'people problem.' It wasn't simply the fact that there
were too many people. The kind of people roaming the planet were
also a problem. What kind of people? Sanger says it explicitly:
feeble-minded, defective, moronic, epileptic people. What should be
done with them? They should be put into camps. They should be
sterilized. They should be segregated. Does this sound familiar?It
is but one small step to add: "They should be exterminated."10
years later, Sanger introduced her 'Plan for Peace' (included in
this book) which made similar calls. So it was that some of the
most devilish ideas carried out by the Nazis not more than a decade
later were just as popular in America. Indeed, it appears the Nazis
may have gotten their ideas from American eugenicists Sanger's book
will give you a new perspective on the intellectual climate in the
early 1900s and a new understanding of contemporary events and
issues.

This year's collection of the winners in Athanatos Christian
Ministry's 2013 short story and poetry contest reflects ACM's
vision for the arts and Christianity, exhibiting theological
understanding without browbeating. The stories grapple with
true-to-life problems and difficulties that real people face in
real life, and represent a realistic response to those
difficulties. This year's contest winners could perhaps have their
work summed up as, "Having faith when having faith is hard."
This is the anthology of winners in Athanatos Christian Ministry's
fourth annual Christian short story and poetry contest. David Sable
wins the short story contest with his work "The God of Oscar's
Misunderstanding" and Therese Eby wins the poetry contest with her
poem, "Herodias." This year's winners were hard hitting in their
creativity, covering topics ranging from original sin to abortion
to atheism and Jesus' hard teaching that "he who does not forgive
will not be forgiven." Learn more at

Have you ever wondered how it was possible that a large number of
people could have ever come to accept the idea that it was all
right for one set of men to enslave another set of men? Have you
ever wondered how a society came to accept the mass extermination
of the Jews? Fewer than a hundred years ago, doctors were doing
experiments on people while they were still alive. Compulsory
sterilization laws were on the books-in the United States-into the
early 1980s. These are not events of the distant past. They
occurred in our lifetimes, or the lifetimes of our parents, or
grandparents. How did people come to not merely tolerate such
things, but openly promote them, and even carry them out?
Every year, Athanatos Christian Ministries hosts a short story and
poetry contest. The winners in these contests are compiled into an
anthology and distributed at no additional cost to every entrant in
the contests. This is the 2011 edition. Donna Frisinger won first
and second prize for her poems "Permanent Houseguest" and "Bullets
for a Hometown Hero." Robert Cely won first prize in the adult
short story category for "Reading Wine." In the high school short
story category, Elizabeth Russell wins for her story "The Friend I
Didn't Choose." Details about this and other contests can be found

Informed at their twenty week ultrasound that their daughter had
the debilitating condition called spina bifida, Anthony Horvath and
his wife were offered the 'opportunity' to 'terminate.' Termination
is a euphemism for abortion, a more polite and politically correct
way to describe killing that which is growing inside the mother's
womb. Anthony and his wife emphatically declined this offer. More
than two years later, their daughter is alive and well, and despite
the challenges- or perhaps because of them- she continues to bring
them intense joy. In "We Chose Life: Why You Should Too" Anthony
wants people to hear the reasons that he and his wife made the
decision they did and hopes that they will persuade others to
decide the same.
