During the Middle Ages noble women were often pawns in the great game of dynastic politics. But some of them were important players in their own right. The four daughters of the Count of Provence used their charms, beauty, and intelligence to move from their father's small kingdom in the south of France to positions of power across Europe. Marguerite, Eleanor, and Sancha became queens of France, England, and the Kingdom of Sicily. They followed their husbands to new homes where they gave their new lands children and a family life. But the fourth daughter, Beatrice, was different. The man she loved was a political enemy; the man she married was an indifferent and self-absorbed prince who made it clear that political intrigue was more important to him than the love of a gentle and romantic girl from another country. The only happy moments Beatrice enjoyed were spent in secrecy with her lover. But the stakes of her emotional attachment were high and the dangers of a misstep were always great. Based on research into the history of Europe in the thirteenth century and on travel to all of the destinations where these princesses lived, this novel depicts a crucial period as Europe emerged from the slumber of the Dark Ages and began to awake slowly to the promise of modern life.

It was the end of one war and the beginning of another. World War II was over and the new war, the ‘Cold War’, had begun. It was thus called because it would not be fought with bullets and bombs, but with propaganda and intelligence, a.k.a. spying. The adversaries were groups like the KGB, CIA and MI6. The largest of these groups, the KGB, hatched a plan to install a ‘mole’ in its No. 1 enemy, the USA. To effect the plan it would require ‘replacing’ a citizen with a known background.

This book is made up of short notes on aspects of the political life of Cameroon. Arranged in the alphabetical (rather than in the chronological) order, the events discussed here, bring to the fore many of the happenings which have culminated in the war that is ravaging the country today. Added to these is also an addendum of other pieces of writings about the ongoing political crisis in the country which started not very long after the so-called reunification of La République du Cameroun and the former British Southern Cameroons.

This iconoclastic work brings a revolutionary perspective on the concept of Satan. Going deeper than simply showing that Satan is a construction of religious culture; Satan Christianity's Other God explores how the belief in a supernatural Satan, is equal to believing in more than one God. Many of us who have been raised in religion are surprised to learn that the God of the Scripture tells us there is no such thing as a supernatural Satan.In Volume one of the 4 volume Imagine No Satan Series, James R. Brayshaw, author and researcher from Western Canada, takes the reader on a journey through the Scriptures and history. Sharing what he has learned since opting out of the institutional religion he was raised in, liberating insights are offered. Brayshaw's work has cracked open the prison of traditional belief in Satan to free the reader to see how the Satan of Christianity was not created by God. Together we discover that Satan never existed in the theology of the people of God until they spent time among cultures steeped in mythology… So why should he exist in our theology today?Piece by piece the Scriptures are explained to show how the well-known passages about Satan, have been tragically misapplied by those who have a preconceived belief in a cosmic Satan. In this timely tome the Satan we used to know is handily dismantled. Readers are shown how the belief in a cosmic Satan has been thrust onto bible passages that have nothing to say about such an entity. As man struggles to understand the Creator, becoming free of a belief in Satan takes us a long way towards understanding the God of Scripture.If you are undaunted by hard questions about your beliefs, then start today with this volume. Join the thousands who have found a refreshed outlook on who God is by learning why Satan is not like what they have been told.

Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her first book People of God - One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner were explored. In both parts of this new anthology, the poetry includes a variety of topics for meditation and self- reflection. In People of God-One and All: Come and Be…, Part 1 she explores the concepts of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one's faith. Scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one's faith and how to mature oneself and share faith with others.In retirement, she quilts with many being made for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.

I started this book a few months ago, I thought I would be doing it myself, but my son gave me some stories. I decided to call the book, 'The Uncommon Men'. The stories in the book may have happened to you. Of course, we have different ages of involvement at different places. I know you will enjoy the book and share it with others. Enjoy Life, Jerry L. Fitzgerald

King Midas - the legend says - transformed everything he touched into gold. Theodor Damian transforms everything he touches into poetry. Sequences from street life, landscapes, people's gestures, usually looked upon as banalities, disclose, under his eye, their beauty. Other contemporary authors make poetry out of poetry. Theodor Damian makes poetry out of daily reality. The blase man of the twenty first century has a lot to learn from this book. Reading it one can rediscover the joy of life. It is a resurrection exercise.Alex Stefanescu This is an exceptional book, a synthesis of the poet's lyric and philosophical vision on how the impossible looses its limits when it is immersed in prayer. In Damian's poetry the "I" of the lyrical and the "I" of metaphysical reflection complement each other in total harmony and become definitory for the poet's work when they meet in the profound dimensions of Christian spirituality. Prayers in Hell represents an editorial event of utmost importance in the landscape so arid and so repetitive of our contemporary poetry.M. N. Rusu

Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her newly revised book People of God - One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner are explored. Questions are asked, thoughts are provoked, and concepts are delved into in comprehending the reality of being both a saint and a sinner. In People of God-One and All: Come and Be…, Part 1 she explores the concepts of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one's faith. In all the books, scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one's faith and how to mature oneself in the faith realm and share it with others.In retirement, she quilts with many being sewn for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.

This volume is part one of three volumes. I believe this book conveys a mandatory message for the believer through biblical analysis of the principles that faith is TAUGHT and faith is CAUGHT. You must first understand that the blessings you long for and have yet to receive exist in spirit form (Eph. 1:3). Wrap your mind around this truth!! Your blessings exist, but you can't see them in the natural. They aren't visible! There is a process that must be initiated by a deliberate engagement in order to receive the manifestation and tangible possession of what exists for you in spirit form. Your life is bigger than the level you're living on. It feels like you're suffocating, but "YOU SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE." Spiritual warfare isn't a choice. Learn how to use your faith in this dimension in this new season and live. "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall LIVE by faith" (Rom. 1:17).

Like Leopold Bloom, James Joyce's protagonist in the epic Ulysses, Kavanagh's life is inconveniently influenced by his relationships with women. Bloom's appointments and encounters on that single day in Dublin (June 16, 1904) is an unfortunate model for Kavanagh's life in the 21st Century as a dynamic seeker of passion and intimacy with the women he finds desirable. Kavanagh and Bloom are Irish Jews, decedents of the members of small migrations from Eastern Europe that somehow found their way to Ireland, the most Catholic nation where they were welcome and lived peacefully and prospered. Kavanagh's odyssey to find enjoyment and pleasure, centers on his time with second wife Millicent the sophisticated literary agent and lawyer, the long affair with Bianca, and his deep feelings for the beautiful, elusive and mysterious Lydia who haunts his dreams. Kavanagh's instant attraction to Ciara the lovely Irish physician, and the puzzling relationship with Mary Lucy, a university president and Catholic nun, confuse and confound him. Somehow Kavanagh has successfully maintained his equilibrium as a popular professor, bestselling author, activist, atheist and acceptable parent, but he worries, for how much longer? Kavanagh isn't Everyman, although he's more like us than we want to acknowledge.
