The King's Mercy by Lori Benton Pdf

For readers of Sara Donati and Diana Gabaldon, this epic historical romance tells of fateful love between an indentured Scotsman and a daughter of the 18th century colonial south. When captured rebel Scotsman Alex MacKinnon is granted the king's mercy--exile to the Colony of North Carolina--he's indentured to Englishman Edmund Carey as a blacksmith. Against his will Alex is drawn into the struggles of Carey's slaves--and those of his stepdaughter, Joanna Carey. A mistress with a servant's heart, Joanna is expected to wed her father's overseer, Phineas Reeves, but finds herself drawn instead to the new blacksmith. As their unlikely relationship deepens, successive tragedies strike the Careys. When blame falls unfairly upon Alex he flees to the distant mountains where he encounters Reverend Pauling, itinerate preacher and friend of the Careys, now a prisoner of the Cherokees. Haunted by his abandoning of Joanna, Alex tries to settle into life with the Cherokees, until circumstances thwart yet another attempt to forge his freedom and he's faced with the choice that's long hounded him: continue down his rebellious path or embrace the faith of a man like Pauling, whose freedom in Christ no man can steal. But the price of such mercy is total surrender, and perhaps Alex's very life.

Muhammad the Prophet of Mercy by Haya Muahammad Eid Pdf

Humanity today is in the direst need for the gentleness of this mercy and its pure dew. It is worried and confused, straying through the labyrinths of materialism, the hell of wars, and the aridity of souls and hearts. After presenting the meaning of mercy to humanity and fulfilling it himself, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), as commanded, announces the essence of his Message, wherefrom mercy to all existence gushes forth: (Say, “It is revealed to me that your God is only one God; will you then be Muslims?”) [Qur'an 21: 108] This is the original element of mercy in this Message; the element of absolute monotheism that saves humanity from the illusions of Jahiliyyah, the burdens of idolatry, the worship of creatures, and the pressures of delusion and superstitions. It builds life upon its solid foundations, connecting it with the entire existence based on clear constant laws, not fancies, inclinations, or interests. It guarantees to every human their right of standing with their head raised; for heads only bow to the Creator, The One, The Almighty. This is the path to mercy… so will you be Muslims?

Mercy and Authority in the Tudor State by K. J. Kesselring Pdf

Using a wide range of legal, administrative and literary sources, this study explores the role of the royal pardon in the exercise and experience of authority in Tudor England. It examines such abstract intangibles as power, legitimacy, and the state by looking at concrete life-and-death decisions of the Tudor monarchs. Drawing upon the historiographies of law and society, political culture and state formation, mercy is used as a lens through which to examine the nature and limits of participation in the early modern polity. Contemporaries deemed mercy as both a prerogative and duty of the ruler. Public expectations of mercy imposed restraints on the sovereign's exercise of power. Yet the discretionary uses of punishment and mercy worked in tandem to mediate social relations of power in ways that most often favoured the growth of the state.

The Royal Throne of Mercy and British Culture in the Victorian Age by James Gregory Pdf

In the first detailed study of its kind, James Gregory's book takes a historical approach to mercy by focusing on widespread and varied discussions about the quality, virtue or feeling of mercy in the British world during Victoria's reign. Gregory covers an impressive range of themes from the gendered discourses of 'emotional' appeal surrounding Queen Victoria to the exercise and withholding of royal mercy in the wake of colonial rebellion throughout the British empire. Against the backdrop of major events and their historical significance, a masterful synthesis of rich source material is analysed, including visual depictions (paintings and cartoons in periodicals and popular literature) and literary ones (in sermons, novels, plays and poetry). Gregory's sophisticated analysis of the multiple meanings, uses and operations of royal mercy duly emphasise its significance as a major theme in British cultural history during the 'long 19th century'. This will be essential reading for those interested in the history of mercy, the history of gender, British social and cultural history and the legacy of Queen Victoria's reign.

Mercy Gone Bad by Jonah Chukwuemeka Agunwamba Pdf

The book ‘Mercy Gone Wrong’ expresses that all men are equal in all aspects except in exposure and ability to utilize opportunities that only God supplies. Hence, we have no reason to boast about our spiritual and material attainment and acquisition. Rather, as recipients of God’s manifold mercies, we should eagerly show mercy to all men as we have the opportunity. In an in dept scriptural analysis, the book discusses that God exhibits His mercy in all His dealings with man. We should, therefore, by God’s grace cultivate this special attribute, integrate it into our relationships, and view other people’s failures from the periscope of mercy. The author explains how the practice of God’s kind of mercy can bring blessings to a man and his progeny, drawing testimonies from his life and others. The book illustrates how and how not to show mercy and the blessings that follow mercy givers. In addition, the book offers a guide to people with limited compassion or who lack the push to act on their compassion to improve and become good mercy givers. In this era of economic recession, when men tend to be selfish and interested only in their own affairs, the book is a refreshing and motivating call for people to manifest abundant mercy while being watchful against the fraudulent practices of evil men. Mercy is a vital tool for spreading the gospel in a hurting world.

THE KINGS OF JUDAH by Edward Dd. Andrews Pdf

"The Kings of Judah: A Historical Fiction Journey Through the Bible's Royal Lineage" is an immersive and vivid account that brings to life the reigns of the kings and one queen of ancient Judah. This book, while fictionalized, is firmly rooted in Scripture and guided by literal biblical chronology, offering readers an engaging exploration of a pivotal era in biblical history. Spanning from the reign of Rehoboam to the final days of Zedekiah, each chapter delves into the complexities and challenges faced by these monarchs. The accounts of Rehoboam’s divided kingdom, Asa’s zeal for righteousness, Jehoshaphat's alliances and challenges, Jehoram's troubled rule, and Ahaziah's fateful reign set the stage for the dramatic narrative that unfolds. The book vividly portrays the ambitious rise and tragic downfall of Queen Athaliah, the restoration efforts of King Joash, and the tumultuous reigns of Amaziah and Uzziah. It navigates through the righteous paths of Jotham and Hezekiah, juxtaposed against the apostasy and turmoil under Ahaz, Manasseh, and Amon. The narrative reaches a crescendo with Josiah’s reforms, bringing a sense of hope and renewal, only to be followed by the brief, tumultuous reign of Jehoahaz and the complex rule of Jehoiakim. The story of Jehoiachin offers a glimpse into the last glimmers of a fallen dynasty, while Zedekiah’s reign ends with the heartbreaking siege and fall of Jerusalem. Richly detailed and character-driven, this book not only portrays the historical events but also delves into the personal struggles, political intrigues, and spiritual journeys of these rulers. Each chapter is an intricately woven tapestry that blends historical facts with imaginative storytelling, offering insights into the lives of these kings and the queen who shaped the destiny of Judah.​ Accompanied by stunning, detailed images that bring each account to life, "The Kings of Judah" is more than just a historical narrative; it's a journey through a significant period of biblical history. It's a testament to faith, power, downfall, and redemption—a must-read for anyone fascinated by the rich history of the Bible's royal lineage.

Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell Pdf

New York Times Bestseller: Sweeping from the 1850s through the early 1920s, this towering family saga examines the price of ambition and power. Joseph Francis Xavier Armagh is twelve years old when he gets his first glimpse of the promised land of America through a dirty porthole in steerage on an Irish immigrant ship. His long voyage, dogged by tragedy, ends not in the great city of New York but in the bigoted, small town of Winfield, Pennsylvania, where his younger brother, Sean, and his infant sister, Regina, are sent to an orphanage. Joseph toils at whatever work will pay a living wage and plans for the day he can take his siblings away from St. Agnes’s Orphanage and make a home for them all. Joseph’s journey will catapult him to the highest echelons of power and grant him entry into the most elite political circles. Even as misfortune continues to follow the Armagh family like an ancient curse, Joseph takes his revenge against the uncaring world that once took everything from him. He orchestrates his eldest son Rory’s political ascent from the offspring of an Irish immigrant to US senator. And Joseph will settle for nothing less than the pinnacle of glory: seeing his boy crowned the first Catholic president of the United States. Spanning seventy years, Captains and the Kings, which was adapted into an eight-part television miniseries, is Taylor Caldwell’s masterpiece about nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America, and the grit, ambition, fortitude, and sheer hubris it takes for an immigrant to survive and thrive in a dynamic new land.
