Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Eloquently weaving fiction and facts, “Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion” is a captivating, comparative, and enlightening tale of one man seeking to find God through the doctrines and discord between and within Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Secularism. What he eventually will discover, transforms his life forever! Creative nonfiction; educational, captivating and to some, controversial. ‘Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion' is not to proclaim I have found all the answers. It is simply one man’s fictional journey [based on religious and secular facts] to find his individual solution regarding God, religion and secular beliefs. His journey seeks answers to questions, such as; does God truly exist? If so, whose side is He on - Jews, Christians, Muslims, or one of hundreds of other religions? How accurate are the scriptures, and which ideology should I follow? As well, why God allows disasters, death, molestation, starvation, and other inhuman atrocities to be committed in His name? Or, are Atheists correct, and religion is man’s ancient tool for controlling mankind? “Looking for God... is entertaining, educational, factual, and offers those individuals seeking God, or other spirituality, the recognition they are not alone. Sankara Saranam, author of the acclaimed book; ‘God without Religion’ said of this story; "…this book is then both a bridge to nonfiction works that discuss religion in greater depth, as well as a map out of the confusion religions have wrought in the name of one God.” My story is not intended, nor attempts, to change the readers beliefs. It is simply one man's journey to find his answers, and open his mind.
