The Lionheart, the Saint and the Ninety Nine Sheep by Anthony Vincent Bruno Pdf

How many people have met a Crusader King, and . . . a man renowned as a living saint in their lifetimes? Marcus Tychon Triarius pledges his life to the Crusades after saving the life of King Richard the Lionheart in a terror attack on the island of Rhodes. Coming from a military heritage, Marcus can handle a bow like no man before could ever have envisaged. His world changes when love enters - a Christian wife and kids, along with two friends of opposing faiths, one Jewish and one Muslim. The three families retreat to the solitude of a remote Mediterranean island but trouble seeks them out. Bereaved and broken, Marcus heads back to the Crusades to forget his woes, but there he meets the friar who would later be known as Saint Francis of Assisi - everything changes, with startling results. A bible or a bow?

Marcus Tychon Triarius is sent to the dreaded Bithynia mines to die a slave but his destiny is yet to be decided. The Roman Empire is never far off his heels, particularly a brutal centurion who has taken the youth's honorable stance personally. Heartbreak follows for the idealistic Marcus who remains a non-believer, even when he encounters the mother of the crucified prisoner, someone about to change the world forever. It is easy to join in with a mob, to inflict cruelty on the weak and defenseless, but when the victim is someone extraordinary . . . beyond extraordinary . . .

Whatever profits are made from the paperback edition will be donated to Christian charities. You can recommend a charity by posting it in a review of this work. Examples of what you will find inside - "Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself." Saint John Vianney. "The heart of the meek is the throne on which the Lord reposes." Saint John Climacus. "The nature of water is soft, and the nature of stone is hard; but if a bottle is hung above the stone, allowing the water to fall down drop by drop, it wears away the stone. So it is with the Word of God: it is soft and our heart is hard, but the man who hears the Word of God often opens his heart to the fear of God." Saint Poemen.

A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age by Sarah-Grace Heller Pdf

During the medieval period, people invested heavily in looking good. The finest fashions demanded careful chemistry and compounds imported from great distances and at considerable risk to merchants; the Church became a major consumer of both the richest and humblest varieties of cloth, shoes, and adornment; and vernacular poets began to embroider their stories with hundreds of verses describing a plethora of dress styles, fabrics, and shopping experiences. Drawing on a wealth of pictorial, textual and object sources, the volume examines how dress cultures developed – often to a degree of dazzling sophistication – between the years 800 to 1450. Beautifully illustrated with 100 images, A Cultural History of Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on textiles, production and distribution, the body, belief, gender and sexuality, status, ethnicity, visual representations, and literary representations.

The Mountain of Silence by Kyriacos C. Markides Pdf

An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to readers of Carlos Castaneda. In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice little known in the West he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into the group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a “Christian Tibet,” two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain a oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos’s monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich the Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of Castaneda, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Church as well. The result is a remarkable work–a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.

The Third Horseman by William Rosen Pdf

The incredible true story of how a cycle of rain, cold, disease, and warfare created the worst famine in European history—years before the Black Death, from the author of Justinian's Flea and the forthcoming Miracle Cure In May 1315, it started to rain. For the seven disastrous years that followed, Europeans would be visited by a series of curses unseen since the third book of Exodus: floods, ice, failures of crops and cattle, and epidemics not just of disease, but of pike, sword, and spear. All told, six million lives—one-eighth of Europe’s total population—would be lost. With a category-defying knowledge of science and history, William Rosen tells the stunning story of the oft-overlooked Great Famine with wit and drama and demonstrates what it all means for today’s discussions of climate change.

The Book of Divine Works by St. Hildegard of Bingen Pdf

Completed in 1173, The Book of Divine Works (Liber Divinorum Operum) is the culmination of the Visionary’s Doctor’s theological project, offered here for the first time in a complete and scholarly English translation. The first part explores the intricate physical and spiritual relationships between the cosmos and the human person, with the famous image of the universal Man standing astride the cosmic spheres. The second part examines the rewards for virtue and the punishments for vice, mapped onto a geography of purgatory, hellmouth, and the road to the heavenly city. At the end of each Hildegard writes extensive commentaries on the Prologue to John’s Gospel (Part 1) and the first chapter of Genesis (Part 2)—the only premodern woman to have done so. Finally, the third part tells the history of salvation, imagined as the City of God standing next to the mountain of God’s foreknowledge, with Divine Love reigning over all.

King Manasseh and Child Sacrifice by Francesca Stavrakopoulou Pdf

The Hebrew Bible portrays King Manasseh and child sacrifice as the most reprehensible person and the most objectionable practice within the story of 'Israel'. This monograph suggests that historically, neither were as deviant as the Hebrew Bible appears to insist. Through careful historical reconstruction, it is argued that Manasseh was one of Judah's most successful monarchs, and child sacrifice played a central role in ancient Judahite religious practice. The biblical writers, motivated by ideological concerns, have thus deliberately distorted the truth about Manasseh and child sacrifice.
