Book Description
When Charles I was executed, his son Charles II made it his role to search out retribution, producing the biggest manhunt Britain had ever seen, one that would span Europe and America and would last for thirty years. Men who had once been among the most powerful figures in England ended up on the scaffold, on the run, or in fear of the assassin's bullet. History has painted the regicides and their supporters as fanatical Puritans, but among them were remarkable men, including John Milton and Oliver Cromwell. Don Jordan and Michael Walsh bring these remarkable figures and this astonishing story vividly to life an engrossing, bloody tale of plots, spies, betrayal, fear and ambition.

Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
When he reached the yard where the horses were screaming he looked above and it was curled on the tower with its great claws buried in the stone itself and the tail wrapped below it and the wings unfurled and raised. Its scales black and red as if its molten blood flowed to the surface and up its back a ridge like jagged mountains thrust with violence through the crust. The tongue a lick of flame rising and curling and the heavy jaws wide and the muscles bulging as that jaw worked. The ring about its neck flexing as it looked at him. The eyes red and burning and full of an ancient knowledge and also some great and horrible laughter. Something wrong with its face but he couldn't place it as in its fury the flames flowed from those eyes and licked up the scales but something very deeply wrong. Then it lowered those jaws once more to the smoking arrow slits of this tall and smoldering furnace.---This is a quest novel. A dragon falling on a stronghold in the mountains and burning it to the ground. A hunter living in those mountains rising to track it and kill it before it kills everyone that he loves. A dark world, wastelands and destruction and pristine castles of white stone on the banks of frozen rivers. Everything hanging in the balance as these two creatures who can kill each other slowly begin to circle. Rings of fire and destruction spreading from them and behind it all lurking a horrible truth.I loved writing this book and I hope you love reading it.

Joshua
Author: David M. Howard
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1433672618
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
The book of Joshua forms the logical end point for much of the Pentateuch. It shows how Israel came to possess the land God had promised centuries before to Abraham and how God was faithful to his promises. It also portrays God’s demands that his covenant people forsake all other allegiances and follow him only and completely. The New American Commentary is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship and lends itself to the practical work of preaching and teaching. This series serves a minister’s friend and a student’s guide. The New American Commentary assumes the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary biblical scholarship. Drawing on the knowledge and skills of over forty scholars and encompassing forty volumes, the NAC brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church.

Metropolis
Author: Ben Wilson
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385543476
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
In a captivating tour of cities famous and forgotten, acclaimed historian Ben Wilson tells the glorious, millennia-spanning story how urban living sparked humankind's greatest innovations. “A towering achievement.... Reading this book is like visiting an exhilarating city for the first time—dazzling.” —The Wall Street Journal During the two hundred millennia of humanity’s existence, nothing has shaped us more profoundly than the city. From their very beginnings, cities created such a flourishing of human endeavor—new professions, new forms of art, worship and trade—that they kick-started civilization. Guiding us through the centuries, Wilson reveals the innovations nurtured by the inimitable energy of human beings together: civics in the agora of Athens, global trade in ninth-century Baghdad, finance in the coffeehouses of London, domestic comforts in the heart of Amsterdam, peacocking in Belle Époque Paris. In the modern age, the skyscrapers of New York City inspired utopian visions of community design, while the trees of twenty-first-century Seattle and Shanghai point to a sustainable future in the age of climate change. Page-turning, irresistible, and rich with engrossing detail, Metropolis is a brilliant demonstration that the story of human civilization is the story of cities.
