Book Description
From beloved, RITA-award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the gripping, passionate finale of the All the King's Men duology. Though surrender is what Maxim Cade demanded of Lennix Hunter's body and heart, she had other plans. They were fast-burning fascination and combustible chemistry, the son of an oil baron and the Apache daughter at war with his family, but she trusted him, and he turned out to be a thief who stole her love. Still, if what they had was a lie, why had it felt so real? Now, the man she swore to hate is about to have it all, and he wants Lennix at his side. But when the two of them are forced to face the unthinkable, their rocky foundation is tested, as is the invisible thread that seems to wind their fates together. As they navigate a treacherous political landscape in their quest for justice, Maxim and Lennix soon learn that power is a game, and they are merely the pawns and players. Facing insurmountable odds, will they win the world, or will they lose it all?

Book Description
Edward, cousin to Steven, the true king of Travia, has attempted to usurp the crown and the two armies are at war. Jed Stone, a simple farmhand, conscripted into Steven's army, is severely wounded in the first indecisive battle. But two bowmen, Kit and Thomas, nurse him back to health and a loose friendship develops between them. In the north of the country, Steven's ally, the First Lord Dragar, is murdered, leaving his young son to raise the army needed to help the struggling king. At first, things seem straightforward, but a plot of cunning and deceit is slowly revealed and the shocking outcome is destined to shatter the young lord’s faith in all he knows and understands. An arrogant young lord, Geoffrey Averly, has set his mind on marrying the beautiful seventeen-year-old Lady Mirel Haflan, whose father was killed in the disastrous battle. Her brother, the new and cruel-minded Lord Marcus Haflan, agrees to the union which her father would have deplored. Rather than face her dire fate, Mirel and her maid flee, in search of an invalidation of the contract from the rebel king, Edward. But Geoffrey sets a vast reward for anyone returning the two women - and they fall into the hands of the three bowmen, Kit, Thomas and Jed. Edward decides to seek allies of his own from across the sea, but covetous eyes already watch the unfolding saga, with plans that do not bode well for the future . . .

The Time of Salvation
Author: Årstein Justnes
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631581780
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
4Q246 (4QApocryphon of Daniel ar), 4Q521 (4QMessianic Apocalypse), and 4Q215a (4QTime of Righteousness) are among the «newer» texts from Qumran Cave 4 that are of relatively recent publication. All three texts share an interest in eschatology, and more specifically in the time of salvation. Two of them, 4Q246 and 4Q521, are among the most debated texts from the Qumran library, chiefly because they are assumed to have significant and substantial parallels to texts in the New Testament. The main aim of the thesis is a separate and detailed analysis of the three texts. More substantially this analysis aims at presenting improved textual editions of each of the texts, with new readings, critically examine and evaluate scholars' attempts to restore the texts' fragmentary parts, and writing detailed commentaries on the texts. On the basis of this detailed treatment of the three texts, the images they present of the time of salvation are compared in a synthetic presentation.

Leading a Local Church
Author: Zacharias Tanee Fomum
Publisher: ZTF Books Online
ISBN: 1370846657
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
This book “Leading a Local Church” is a compilation of the teaching of Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum addressed to the saints in Yaoundé, Cameroon during a leadership training course. The book presents what it takes to lead a local church and what leadership is. The author explains the critical place of having a goal geared towards the saving of the lost in the building of a local church. The method for the accomplishment of the goal is the making of disciples. When a shepherd leaves the flock just for a day in pursuit of gain, he has put a knife into his heart and things will never be the same afterwards. A shepherd who loves the world has lost God, has lost the vision and has betrayed the sheep. According to the author, the spiritual gift of leadership is the unusual ability to produce other leaders. The leader is the one who takes risks and breaks new grounds. Leadership is a call to provide a model. We recommend this book to you while praying that the Lord will use it to make of you a leader who has put on God enough to be able to lead a local church and raise others of his kind.

The King's Coin
Author: Paula Constant
Publisher: Fehu Press
ISBN: 0645104000
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
AD 690: Caught between Emperor and Caliph, Spain's children fight for their nation - and each other. Far from his homeland, Theudemir of Aurariola counts it a curse when his commander asks him to spy on the Greek fleet he serves. His honour weighs him down in the wars between Emperor and Caliph, where men serve only themselves and treachery takes what battle does not. His best friend Yosef has disappeared, the woman he loves is fighting on Saharan sands, and an old enemy threatens the uneasy alliance he leads. When Spain's civil war threatens the lives of those he loves, it is time for Theudemir to go home. But with Spain divided by bitter civil war, home is no longer simple - and neither is love. "It is the same war we always fight. A war for coin we will never touch, won for men who will never bleed." Set against a sprawling medieval landscape, The King's Coin is the third book in the Visigoths of Spain saga, following the fortunes of three Spanish families caught in the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the Arabic conquest of Spain. Visigothic nobleman Theudemir of Aurariola (Theo), fighting in the Imperial fleet, is caught up in the Arab/Byzantine wars on the shores of Anatolia. Jewish merchant Yosef must make an ally of the Caliph if he is to continue his epic journey to China in search of silk and return to rendezvous with Theo before the fleet sails. Meanwhile fierce, wild Lælia, heiress to the Spanish estate of Illiberis, travels into Saharan sands in search of allies as she prepares to defend her home against the corrupt ambitions of church and crown. In Spain itself, Theo's brothers are caught on opposite sides of the increasingly bitter civil war, but are united in their fight against those who threaten to destroy heart of the nation their family helped build. As the old nobility are divided by old enmities and traditional power games, a new generation risk everything to prepare their battered nation for the greater enemy marching toward Spanish shores. Whilst all must make foreign enemies and alliances to survive, Spain's children remain linked by a common enemy: Oppa, the scheming bastard son of the Spanish King, who is making dangerous alliances of his own. His ambitions have far reaching consequences, both at home and abroad. The time is coming when all are destined to reunite on Spanish shores. But with two armies laying claim to the Toledo throne and corruption splitting the church, the King's coin can no longer be trusted, and ambition is the only true faith. The second book in the Visigoths of Spain series, The King's Coin is preceded by The Votive Crown and a prequel novella, The Saharan Queen. The series is based upon real events and characters during the final turbulent years of Spain's Visigothic Kingdom. Set across a sprawling medieval canvas, The King's Coin journeys from Europe to the Far East and into the heart of the so-called Dark Ages, the period following the fall of the Roman Empire and preceding the Arab conquest of North Africa and Spain.
